Digital Audio Player Recommendations - Budget 20k

[shrek]

I recently bought a ATH-M50x and in the market for a DAP. I have a 32GB iPod touch but it doesn't play FLAC (has to be converted to ALAC or WAV). My budget is around 20k.

Not to keen on the fiio x1 (2ng gen). I've read that the UI is buggy. I did come across the Sony NW-A35, but not sure on its availability. Any recommendations would greatly appreciated. A friend of mine is coming from the US, so i'm open to buying from Amazom.com or other US e-commerece websites

Cheers

Sony NWZ-A1 or the DX90 used if you can get it below 20k.

Thanks for sharing, the most popular ES DAC on a portable media player is a great combination. Seems worth investing, Any personal experience?
