Choosing DAP (Digital Audio Player, portable)

Firstly, if you ask someone to recommend, you will be asked how much budget? If it's about $200 or 2,200,000 Rupiah you can choose between an iPod 4th gen or Fiio X3. I choose them as example.

What will you get if you choose:

iPod 4th gen:
- Availability of bypassing internal amp or bypassing the DAC too (then using external DAC/amp)
- Camera, games, wifi, bluetooth connection which are common entertainments and tasks
- Better screen

Fiio X3:
- More significantly better sound quality than iPod 4th gen for it's built-in/internal amp and DAC
- Supports more lossless audio formats
- Can't use external DAC/amplifier

On this limited 2,200,000 Rupiah budget, an audiophile would choose the Fiio X3. But if you have plans of adding external DAC and amp (or a DAC integrated with Amp), iPod can be an option. So, it's about decision. Use money wisely~!
