I can also fully recommend the iRiver players (I have an H120,
formally called the iHP-120). It has an optical in and out, line level
in and out, mic-level in, and headphone out. It mounts just like a
hard drive, and in fact sometimes I use it as a backup device or just
to carry large files around. The headphones that come with it are
truly awful, but most are. The little remote is pretty handy, but most
headphone plugs don't fit in it without a little adaptor which is
included with the device, but is easy to lose.
The UI is pretty bad, for sure. I've been thinking for a while about
switching to Rockbox, which hopefully should fix that problem.
