What else kind of options?  I'm looking for a DAP better than the Sansa sport.  It doesn't give the best audio but I do like it for sports purposes. But, I'd still like something to listen to while on the go. 

I was looking at the geek wave but I guess I missed that boat.

The original AK100 stunk. The newer ones are definitely better . . .

Do you mean only the original AK100 that had problems with IEMs or all the AK100s before the new Cirrus-based one?

I never listened to the 100 with IEMs. I don't think I've heard the one with the fix for that, but I doubt it otherwise transformed the sound of the player.

Ya I tried to open a ticket asking about how to purchase it and they haven't answered so far. 

Would the Cowon J3 be a good grab at $130?

For $130 I'd go for it, unless you want to spend a little extra for "muh hi-res" in the Colorfly C3 (and glorious hi-res at that too, Mile Davis in 24/88.2khz on the DX50)

Haha well, I am looking at the Geek wave XD now.  I don't have the funds yet but I'll need to save up. 

I opened a ticket asking about the 32 and I was told that it was $167 plus $14 for shipping.  I'm not sure about the XD if that is involved with the campaign.  If it is I'm assuming they are build already.  But I don't have al my facts straight as the info isn't really organized on the site.

Has anyone here tried the FiiO X5 coax out into the Leckerton UHA-6S.MkII? This should be pretty decent portable setup.

Actually I haven't.  I might give it a go if I remember this weekend.  At this point though, I think the DAC on the Leck might just be overshadowed by other alternatives no matter how it is fed.  Bypassing the crap usb input is the best option to get the DAC sounding better however.
