Which setup should would Head-Fi use?

Thread Starter 

I have these portable devices:

Sansa Clip+ with a 16gb MicroSDHC

iPod Touch 2g 16gb with no LOD support. (It just doesn't work, I've rebooted, restored, cleaned, jailbroken, unjailbroken etc. No go.)

iPod Classic 160gb 6g with Audiominor LOD on the way.

I recently acquired a Fiio E7 for Christmas. 

 

Headphones: I will most likely be using my RE0's with Sony Hybrid tips. I also have some SA6's. Nothing else I own is really portable.

 

 

What would Head-Fi do with these devices? What would you make your usual setup for on the go, or at home listening?

 

 

EDIT: I forgot, I also have an iPod Nano 3g 8gb, which I never use but I may trade it to a friend with a 30gb iPod Classic 5.5g with a broken 3.5mm jack. I could Rockbox that!

I would use all three players. The Clip when I'm out walking to class, the Touch for when I would be taking the device out but also have time to sit and relax with the music. It has a better Ui than the Clip and I could also do things while listening to the music.

I would use an amp with the Classic and take that with me when Im going to be listening to music for extended sessions.

I love the Clip+ with the E7 and I don't mind the size in my pocket, but I completely agree with the usability issue. Most days at school, I'll likely bring the Touch due to the WiFi. What would you think has better SQ for at home, a Clip+ out of the 3.5mm or a 6g Classic out of a LOD?

 

Also, if you didn't see above, I edited that post at the bottom.

Get your hands on that 5.5gen 30gb, rockbox it and get a LOD to hook it up to the Fiio E7. Keep the Clip+ for going ultraportable :)

Ive got a similar set of Daps, except i have a walkman A828 too.

My clip+ rockboxed doesnt get much use anymore.

I use the A828 for portability and great UI.

I use 2G Touch with app "equalizer" when I can sit and just listen.

I used to have the RE0s too, but now re-zeros are my favs followed closely by the brainwavz M2s

Sorenslim: I am going to do that. I'm waiting on my LOD!! 

 

Paulypaul: My touch doesn't support LOD. Wouldn't a LOD from another player be better than the 3.5mm out?

I cant be of much help for you on the LOD.
