Full transportable setup (as in throw in bag or large trench-coat pocket):

diyMod iPod 5G Video 30GB
diy Sonicap dock with Mini and RCA outputs, all Cardas wiring
diy PPAS (AD8066/AD825 opamps, 3x LMH6321 buffers on 8AAA rechargeable batteries)




Portrable setup:

Same as above except dock is diy BlackGate dock in Cardas:



Headphones for both are impedance modded and recabled KSC35 on PortaPro headband with HD414 pads. Everything is held together by a hair-band shamelessly stolen from girlfriend. To say the least, it's the least expensive and best setup I've ever heard

The cable is actually a custom job - quad pure silver with a right angle neutrik. It actually looks WAY nicer than the stock cable. I also have the Westone ES2 cable coming in soon. I know a lot of people feel that cables do not make a difference. I've been good....so I decided to use the funds to check out various cables myself!
Hello Filipelli, very interested in where you got the 'quad pure silver with a right angle neutrik' set up.

Thanks PrototypeX2.

SBD:
I use the JVC IEM paired with the JVC player with no external amp.
The E3C was my first ever IEM, and now I use it with my Nintendo DS.
The Sony IEM was paired with an Sony HD5, but I gave the DAP to my father.
I also had an CK7, paired with an iPod video 5.5, but I sold the iPod last week and my brother liked the AT so much that I gave it to him.

Well,

I updated my rig already because I purchased an iPod Classic today, but I'm thinking of returning it. SQ is fine, the device is slim and very nice looking but the clickwheel isn't pleasing me at all.

I'll see how I get the hang of it tomorrow, maybe I just have to get used to it but if it stays this way I'll be returning it tomorrow.

What don't you like about it? I've always thought the clickwheel was the best part about iPods. Aside from that and their looks, they have mediocre sound quality, a crappy GUI and inconvenient computer interaction.
