Smartphone + AMP VS Descent MP3 Player

[MrVasarovsky]

I have a tough time choosing what will get me the best audio experience.

I currently have V Moda M100 headphones, and Fiio E17 (and a crappy smartphone).
And I cannot chose whether to sell E17 and get a descent Fiio X3 (or wait for X5) or to save up for a proper phone (samsung / sony / lg 600$+ price range) and use them with my E17 Dac/amp.

What can you suggest?

i dont think a 600 dollar phone is gonna make your audio experience any better, even if it has that beats stuff.are you sure your source audio files are high quality like 320 bitrate mp3 or flac?

Got myself Fiio X3 in the end - and it's freaking awesome!!
THe quality and power, together with M-100 are just perfect!
