I wore out a first generation fiio x3 and have upgraded to the Sony NW-A35. I haven't owned the second generation x1 but for $100 I wouldn't hesitate to get one, especially since you're sick of mp3's. While I do like my Sony, the fiio players are definitely legit and the second generation x1 appears to me to be a better player than my first gen X3.
