First, kind of new to this. I have a little experience having set up a FLAC server made from an old Dell mini 10. But I'm wanting a player.

Is the FiiO X3 a good all around player I could hook up to my B&K Ref 50 and listen to FLAC files and then take with me to the car? Or are there too many compromises there?

I'm already a little miffed because it seems I would have to have tons of Micro SD cards instead of a large drive. Is there another player that has the ability to run an external SS or conventional drive? Is 64 gig enough? I don't think it is.

The OP is looking for a portable device that plays FLAC files.

Most portables support 64 or even 128 Gb SD cards
I do think this a bit small the moment one loads lossless files.
Almost all of my audio is lossless but for the portable I simply convert to 320 kbps MP3
This allows me to put a substantial amount on the portable without scarifying much sound quality wise
