Best DAP under $200?

  If we were more civilized and not attack a person's opinion, this would probably be a much better place, where people could really form themselves a opinion about a product. As it is, that DAP is not worthy a single dollar in my opinon. My ALC codec (latest generation, true) beats it in almost every thinkable area: timbre, neutrality, detail, soundstage, frequency extension. The only things that DAP do better, but only by a small margin, are SNR and dynamic range. But that is minor compared to what it does NOT do right.
So my advice would be if you have the possibility to try it first, do it. You might end up shocked, like I was.
I gave my unbiased opinion about said product w/o attacking anyone. I respect others' opinion so I don't make comments (rude or not) about their comments.

 
Saying its not worth a dollar is pretty rude.

Ihifi 770(c)- comes with a wolfson dac and option for line out should you choose to use an external amp (I use a recently snagged Alo Rx). Cons? UI might need some work and reports on glitches when playing lossless files.
Pros? Great sound. Two different H/O depending on your needs/matching. One does a nice laid back sound while the other gives forward details. Check it out.

I believe the best DAPs under $200 USD presently are:

FiiO X1
IHIFI 770c
XDuoo X2
XDuoo X3

I will give a big recommendation for XDuoo's new X3 which I've been enjoying a lot this last week, for $110 USD I believe it's hard to beat on features and sound.
