yeah i was thinking about selling some home gear in favor of a nice portable rig. Would a 5gipod w/lineout,RnB IC,good portable supraaurreal cans like the es-7, and a top portable amp like a hornet or xin rival? would it beat out say a microstack and hd595 combo overall?

I would seriously doubt that the ES7 can beat out the HD595.

ok so what 'level' would you consider a 5g ipod,nice portable cans,ICs,amp against popular home gear like a500,pimetas etc. That home set up earlier was an example for illustration purposes only.

I would get a 4G iPod and have the iWine mod done. Then a high quality IC from one of the many well known suppliers here. Next a good amp like the SR-71 (I prefer it to the Hornet), a Xin SuperMacro III Version 6, or an AE-1. Finally a good IEM (if portability is truly what you are looking for) like the Ety ER-4S, Shure E5, UE10, etc.

Oh, and do not forget a good carry bag. Good luck.
