Fiio X3, Ibasso DX50, HiFiMAN HM700 + RE400B combo are same level DAP, just different sound signature.
RM680~RM850, Slightly out of your budget lah~haha.

Colorfly C3, clean and neutral sound. Mid and bass is not very thick, details not bad. Build in amp soso, but enough to drive most of the IEM.
Weak point: Only got Headphone out, no line out. Touch screen a little bit lag.
This one is cheaper, around RM350.

Would you able to share your comments on which is a better buy? Colorfly C3, Ipod Video with rockbox, Sansa Fuze+ and Nova N1. All of them below 500 range and all of them seems pretty decent. Any help will be very much appreciated.

Stay away from Nova N1, a failed product.
C3 and Sansa are good products, but with some flaws. C3 has better build quality and a brighter sound signature but poor UI and controls. Not much dynamics in the sound too. Sansa build quality is not as good but with better UI and SQ just below C3.
If you want a better all rounder product, try looking for a second hand X3 or DX50.

Thank you Lego Warfare and liquidgal for the informative reply, I appreciate that. Reading review on the DX50 is like self poisoning, so strong that is so hard to resist especially people over head fi praising on the SQ. I doesn't have a good equipments to begin with, currently only a pair of CX500 and SE215, along with a martini+ that I just could not resist the offer. If you were in my shoes, would you get a DX50 or just Sansa Clip+ and called it a day? The journey you guys been through definitely not a cheap one IMO. blush.gif
