I would consider the iriver. I use mine for that purpose because it has line out and multiple EQ settings. Usually they can be bought used for $75-125.

I'm a big fan of my iHP-120 for FLAC playback in the car and on the home stereo.

No, it doesn't.

I think that the only thing that meets the OP's needs would be a Rockboxed iPod.  The Toshiba Gibabeat (the precursor to the Zune) can also be Rockboxed but I don't see support for the Zune itself on their list.

i have an old ipod 4g photo - 30gb, that has taken the backseat to the 8gb ipod touch i got free after rebate with the EDU discount for my macbook pro.  i decided to rockbox it (the older one), and so far i think it's a great idea!  you don't have to give up the regular ipod firmware, instead it's like having a "dual boot" machine.  you can still boot up into the normal ipod software by flipping the hold switch to on after you power it up, otherwise it will boot into rockbox by default.

i'm now de-selecting "sync music" in itunes to have it take all my old mp3s off it (for the time being) and will load it up with some flacs and see how it does.

Cowan makes real nice stuff IMO. I own the the Cowan I audio. 60 gig drag and drop files into it just as they are from the torrents sites. This unit also acts as a USB hub so you can down load info/data onto it from another external usb device with out a computer. Not sure what there fancy newer unit is called but it has SD card back up and a nice touch screen.
