Cant really compare ZX100 to X3 as there is a big price different so its aimed at different segments of the market. 
Both great sounding. I prefer X3 over AK240 sound wise.

Exactly, wouldn't make sense.
If one is heading out and wants music he will have to take one of his daps with him hence a choice to be made.

  lately my x3 has had trouble turning on had to use a pin in to get to restart. It's happening more frequently, about thrice a week of light usage. What gives? Any new firmware coming up? 


The new owner whom i sold my x3 Wanted me to give his MONEY Back as he claimed his x3 didn't turn ON anymore, I told him to cool off a bit and stop yelling on the phone XD and use a small clip and poket the RESET hole and he said Thanks dude..

The stock FW sounds pretty bad compared to 3.34b. No need to have much trained "golden" ears in my opinion to notice that. 3.34b doesn't read many FLAC formats as previous FW's, but even so, I prefer to use it for SQ alone.
Glad to be able to enjoy it, I prefer the imperfections from a record than the sound from a CD.

I remmeber with older firmwares you didn't need burn-in for sound changes to occur

 a simple firmware update... new sound quality for good or bad
