Depends... To me DAP = Diigtal AUDIO Player, and it should be good in AUDIO.

Yes, DSEE do improves slightly fthe high or low bit rate MP3. But, not much different noticed. If any, it will be a little bit airy sound.

BTW, I am not using ANY of the enhancements and EQ with UM3Xs, and do sound brilliantly. I like it... at this moment..

If it sound good and can reply this message with it, then can considered it original.

posted using X1060F

Or even worse, it may be the REJECTED one .

Or someone just tried the FORMAT feature.

I don't care much about digital noiise cancellation, because my IEMs provide better isolation + better SQ.

Yes, you can use the provided earphones with other audio devices without any problem.

Web browsing with the X is not that bad. IMHO, it is better than my my Nokia 3120c and Motorola V3xx's browser. At least, I can browse my favorite websites in bed, before going to sleep. Yes, I agreed, the texting is nightmare. Other than music listening function, I also using the Podcast feature. I regularly updated several podcasts, such as TWiT, Scientific American and Engadget. I listened it during commuting or when I am bored .

Movies? I converted several movies and animes to mp4 format without any problem. The screen is good and not too glary. In term of video capability, my cheap backup PMP, the MWalker Nebula can plays video files. flv, wmv, avi, rmv without any conversion. Somethome cheap does not mean bad. O, BTW, this cheap PMP also can play NES and GB game's ROMs , cool, but, I am not big fan of gaming.

Anyway, it is a good DAP, and eventhough not many bell and whistle.

Yes, no comparison with iPhone/Touch in term of software. Sony's main theme for X is, to make the BEST Walkman ever, in term of SQ and other physical quality. So, the X real competitors are the other Walkman's series it self .

Based on a brief and limited audition, the Zen X-Fi is not that bad. The sound signature is quite similar Samsung YP-S5 with DNSe Clarity enabled, bright and lively. The buttons are quite awkward and need to get used to it. In other words, the Zen's sound signature is different from the X's, and up to the users to choose.
