For the past year and a half or so I've been using an iPod Touch 16GB 2nd gen. Now don't get me wrong, it's a great PMP; the apps are by far the best part, but as a whole it's well thought out and solidly built (this I can say from "testing"
). However, the battery is now far short of what it used to be to the point where I never use it for movies any more because it drains so quickly. Also, while it sounded great with my mid centric SCL3s a year ago, it sounds rather cold to me and really doesn't get along well with my RE0s.
So, I've been looking for an audio player that fits at least these categories (I may get another PMP later, I just want a dedicated audio device).
Right now I'm considering a rockboxed Clip+, a Cowon D2+, or a Cowon i9 (Fuze v1 is hard to find). The Clip would be ideal if not for the poor battery life, but on the other hand the Cowon only has primitive support for AAC. Can anybody help me out here?
Thanks,

So, I've been looking for an audio player that fits at least these categories (I may get another PMP later, I just want a dedicated audio device).
- Relatively cheap (max about $125)
- Can play AAC files (I've ripped all my CDs in AAC VBR and I don't want to go through them again)
- Can sync with OS X somehow (NOT through Windows)
- Has some sort of crossfeed filter
- Good EQ
