I have gotten kinda spoiled my the massive amount of storage capacity of the iPod Classics.  I have been tempted by stuff like the Cowon J3 but I see that the largest capacity is 32 Gig with an SD card slot.  What is the largest micro SD card you can get?  8 Gig?

32GB.

Last time I checked it was 32 gigs but you have to be sure the DAP supports a 32 gig card. most modern DAP's do

Looks sleek, might just be my new phone. That is if you can turn the whatever beats tuned audio thing off and that it comes in black

To be fair they do look pretty neat

I picked up a 32gb Class 10 (un-branded) off eBay for £15.99, had it in use on my Cowon J3 32gb for over a year now, the transfers - Read/write speeds are more like class 6 but it works flawlessly

There are 64GB microSDXC cards, although I have no idea what supports them. http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile1-memory-products/sandisk-ultra-microsdxc-card
 
EDIT: The SanDisk on was announced today and is available for sale. Another one was announced by Kingmax a while back in May, but still isn't available for sale. Kingmax claimed it worked on the Galaxy S II, so I don't know just how large compatibility is. I've read that all microSDHC slots can read SDXC, but there are software limitations on devices.

I too had considered the J3, but am thinking seriously about the Cowon X7 for those very reasons. 160gb, killer battery life, and no iTunes make it very tempting!

You can rockbox the iPod Classic. It isn't very stable (yet...) and sorta drains the battery, but I'm using it and I love it! The Cowon is probably better though.

Did you get that feeling playing good quality files?

Yes, although now that I have such a small player I converted all my FLACs to 280 kbps VBR LAME MP3s, which is more then transparent to me.

I have the 30GB 5th gen and the Touch 3rd gen. I was all set to get the X7, but ended up getting the TTVJ Slim headphone amp. Running out of the iPod through the LOD  should help save some battery. I also thought about iMod'ing my classic, but one step at a time. This hobby can get very expensive, very fast!

 The Iphone 4 is the best sounding one if you count Iphones.

Putting aside the hifiman hm-801 which is freaking expensive, I bought a qls qa-350 V2 trying to get the best sounding dap not taking into account other features. Lets see when I get it...

Other than usability, no issues with QA350 v2. I got only 5.5 hours battery life last time, but unlike what I've read about S:Flo2 and Hifiman players, it at least charges back up in a little over 2 hours (around 2:15). As far as SQ goes, it is currently my favorite player among the lot (Clip+, Fuze V1, S9, Sony E353, iTouch 3G, Nanite N2).
