Edit:
 
I flashed the 1.03beta firmware and line out stopped working in stereo, so I flashed the original firmware and it still didn't work. I thought it was a software issue seeing how the headphones worked in stereo. Ended up being two bad cables. Line out is now working in both 1.00 and 1.03 beta.
 
Crazy that I could have two cables go out around the same time.

Anyone elses X1 only outputing mono to the right speaker/heapdhone when using lineout? I tested my amp, its working fine with my ipod and fiio line out cable.

  Guess it depends on your needs.  Sony has more features and 64Gb built in.  But it's $299
 
X1 with 64Gb card going to be around $140-150 (1/2 the price) - straight player.
 
Really they are chalk and cheese.  You'll just have to decide whether the Sony add-ons are another $150 value ......
 
Would love it if the X1 had that much battery life though (30 hours)

 
will you love if we save the battery by decrease the output power and saw the individual DAC chips?

Definitely not James.  I know there are trade-offs, and I think the decisions you made were the right ones.  I take it you read my review - I love the X1 :)

  Tested X1 vs Sansa Clip+
You know, i don't see any difference on Xiaomi Gold 2.
For what price i should buy IEM for hear new things ?

 
that's a difficult question to answer. im rocking $400+ IEMs, but price doesn't always equal sound quality.
 
apparently etymotics E4's are well-received. [citation needed]
 
i'd suggest getting a budget in mind, then browse head-fi for a thread regarding IEMs, with the budget you have.

There's lot's of difference in quality of headphones and iems in all price ranges, but I'd suggest looking up some well regarded iems at 100+$ price range. I've got Philips Fidelio S2's (plus Shure SE535 on their way) and they are very good.

Chinese TTPod, Carbo Tenore, etc are very good iems less than $100.
