hi. im looking for a DAP under 200 dollars. i currently have a ipod touch 4th gen for my portable music player. looking for a new one that plays FLAC files cause i have heard that the sound quality of FLAC files are  the best.

The Fiio X3 is pretty nice, another option is the DX50 by iBasso (amp section is not as good as fiio's)

^From what I have heard, that is.
 
The ipod can play ALAC, which is just as good as FLAC.

It depends.. if you want a good, resolving Dac or a beefy headphone section. It's your call
