I have a lot of music that I am slowly converting digitally, and am looking for a DAP with a good UI and filing system. A UI that makes it easy to search for files, and something that displays a lot of album info.
 
Since I'm a newbie, other bells and whistles, are not crucial right now. Still need good sound quality, but also, and even more importantly, I need something with a nice intuitive UI.
 
Budget under $1000.
 
Any recommendations?

Not sure which had a search function probably a android dap. I went for sound quality .

What did you eventually decide on? I'm now in exactly the same position you were.

AK70 fits that bill

Best UI I've ever used for a DAP and it has a search function with a full fledged keyboard...

X5III running Android OS instead of the Pure Music custom OS, that way it works a lot more like an Android phone/tablet.

I'd recommend the iBasso's. The UI is surprisingly good, and it allows you to read the microSD cards as a directory. I like this a lot because I can set up the file organization in a way that works for me. But iBasso's default indexing is also pretty good, it just takes a while to index. The newer models might not have this issue.
