Hi Dave, I own a Fiio M3, which is quite a bit cheaper than this X7. I have to say that as an entry model the sound is pretty nice, but the software / user interface is kind of disappointing. The software really doesn't do very well with large music collections. For long titles such as 'A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld - Live Mix Mk II' it only shows the first 12 characters or so, which may be a lot in Chinese, but it's just not the same experience in English. Large lists are displayed unsorted, that is, the order in which the tracks were written to the SD card, so you have to use a FAT sorter to get any kind of usability out of the menus. Really........ Overall I got the impression that it's a "job done" kind of software implementation, where you can feel that the programmer is not the user of the software. Functionally the boxes were ticked -- the device kind of does what it's supposed to -- but nobody seems to have been really thinking about the user experience. Because my entry model M3 disappoints a little on the software front, I'd want to plug in my own SD card into a more expensive model such as the X7 and try it out before actually spending any real money on it. I really miss my Sansa Clip+ with ROCKBOX...
