iPod 5.5 gen 240 GB | Sansa Clip+ > BLOX TM5 & ER-4P custom tipped.
If I would success modding RE252, then it will probably replace ER-4P.

I would avoid taking a laptop, but it may be necessary.
Then the rig would be: Laptop > Pico DAC/amp > KSC-35km | RE0

KSC-35km (kostalex mod) description

Whoops, my bad, 240GB for my... well, when I read "perfect" then I know that it can only be based in actual reality; it has to actually be a fantasy because nothing's perfect!

well maybe I'm wrong, that one sounds pretty perfect

Well right now I guess my goal would be
iPod > RSA Tomahawk > Triple fi 10

I have thought a lot about full-size cans on the road. I think it is best to have cups that swivel and go flat, so that you have a flat item to pack.

And since life is too short for moderate volume, I think you have to go closed, not open.

Ultrasone cans are closed and swivel flat -- the Pro 750 is my choice here.

I had mine re-cabled with silver dragon -- make it short and put 1/8th on it -- now it plugs in to the amp.

5.5G iMod with ALO iMod-specific LOD cable filled with lossless files, into an iQube (perfect form factor fit) driving the 750's ... this is real top-drawer SQ. I take ES7's (also re-cabled) if I don't take the 750s.

iriver h140 -> Sonosax SX-DA2 portable dac\amp -> Ultrasone ed8. I doubt I can find anything better than this.

In my dream world I wouldn't need anything more than using a DAP's headphone out.... I'd like the DAP to do all the heavy lifting. Since I'm tied to ALAC, that seems to be pretty unrealistic.

iRiver H140 with 120gb >MB-1 or MB-2 dual optical dac>Protector (balanced)>JH13 Pro

iRiver H120 with 80gb >Monica II non oversampling asynchronous dac > fi.Q > ATH ESW10

iRiver H140 120gb with Black Gate coupling caps > JH13 Pro or Koss Porta Pros (modified)

Sansa Fuze , P-51 Mustang, TF10. It gets me by on the move.
post #42 of 131
Mine is: Ipod5.5G > capped LOD> PICO >ESW10JPN
The esw can stay around my neck or go into my bag (by case)

Though I only take my esw at breaks. If I am doing technical stuff I use the triplefi to stand out a little less. Doesn't help how shiny they are; and match my eye color. xD

240gb iMod - ALO LOD with caps - RSA Protector - Balanced JH 16's or Balanced UE18's. That would be audible sex...

My dream rig that I may actually be able to have without having to win the lottery.
DIY 240gb iMod - DIY LOD with caps - ALO Rx or TTVJ Slim - TF10's remolded (which I have now)

I plan to mod my iPod next, then the LOD, then the amp . Maybe someday...

Thread Starter 
The Mustang certainly seems to have longevity - a relatively rare thing on Head-Fi
