Considering how fast the first x3 sold out I decided to bite the bullet and get in on this drop (my first!)
I've never owned a lossy-capable DAP before, any tips or general suggestions to get the most out of it?

VeathnLoad it with .flac files. Perhaps download Exact Audio Copy (http://exactaudiocopy.de/)and do some perfect rips of your CD collection. Also, consider picking up some nice headphones, possibly from MD, but wherever.
Some Suggestions: Philips SHP-9500S (Open Backed, Cheap, Comfy) Audio Technica ATH-M40x (Closed Back, Relatively cheap, benefits from a pad swap) Massdrop x Hifiman HE 4XX (Open Back, Planar Magnetic driver type, comfy and really fun sound) Massdrop x Pinnacle PX IEMs (In-ear monitors, MMCX replaceable cables, plenty of ear tips, great price)
I hope you have some good luck. Audio quality is something that scales the better the parts of the pipeline become.

TaylorDWow, thanks very much for your detailed and helpful response, especially suggestions for headphones.
I'll check out the models you've listed and see what I can eventually buy towards. I'm pretty excited to listen to familiar favorites in a higher quality.

VeathnThat's what my buddy said when he purchased the the Sennheiser HD58X Jubilee on the last drop. I donated an FX Audio DAC-X6 to him as well. He said he noticed the quality increase over straight out of his laptop.
Also, I've founding watching headphone/equipment reviews from the likes of Z Reviews, and DMS3 TV, Inner Fidelity, and Steve Guttenburg, (all on Youtube) helpful with choosing/upgrading/enjoying my audio gear.
