yes, this is a good idea, but there is a problem: I live in Italy, and best price for x3 is 200 € (260$). Too much for my budget. I can find X3 in US or Asia at a good price, but If I buy some product from US or Asia I will pay customhouse for sure ( I paid 60€ customhouse for my VModa m100...

tnx u all guys. I saw this Fiio x1 review and I loved it!   Can I pre-order this? where?  I searched on the internet but nothing came out... 

I'll search this Cowon j3...maybe I'll be lucky!  You said "sandisk clip"...it's the same as "sandisk sansa clip"? Thank you!

Hello guys this is my first post here.   I use VModa m100 and I would like to buy a cheap portable mp3 player, around 100-150 $ or 100 € (I'm italian :) )  I just care about battery life and good sound: I listen 99% house and electronic music.  Any suggestion for me? Thanks you all guys!
