List of old high-end DAPs that beat new models. Deals to be made?

[FunkeXMix]

This is basically a place where you can list high end discountinued models that most probably can be bought at low-mid prices today.

This is definately not a thread commercially focused forums will appreciate but audioscience seems to be by the user for the user.
I was inspired to create this thread when I read this review from someyoungguy :https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/fiio-x3-2nd-gen-ultraportable-hi-res-dap.20614/reviews

Please post your tips. I will buy the Cowon J3 and let you know.

I have just got the eBay delivery for the ColorFly C4 PRO I bought for $59!
I am very happy abt. the overall material / assembling quality and sound rendering, I definitively prefer this C4 to my other DAP, the Fiio X3 MKII.
A little bit heavier than today' DAPs, but that is not a big issue for me.
