Which item would you change in this setup?

Thread Starter 

I currently have the following portable setup, and thinking of buying a present for myself soon, possibly upgrade one of the following:

 

Audio file: FLAC

Player: Sony MZ-RH1, Cowon D2, sometimes Samsung Galaxy S with Voodoo Sound

Amp: iQube v2

Headphone / IEM: DT-1350, SE535

 

If you can change one thing in this setup, which would it be?  And to what?

 

I'm thinking maybe a different player, but not sure what to get (HM801 is too big, not a fan of i<device> either, don't want to get a CLAS...as that would tie me down with an i<device>)

 

Would love to get some ideas.  Thanks!

I'd personally change the player to something that has a dedicated Line-out.

Thanks!  I forgotten to mention the RH1.  Post updated.

Is that that big a deal? I'm going to Korea soon and the J3's sell for almost nothing there (at least compared to here), not had any hands on experience with them so can't compare to how it sounds with line out + dac/amp + classic or whatever.

Considering your using such a nice amp it seems only fair that you'd want your source to be as good as possible.

The MZ-RH1 has a line-out, and I'd say it's the best sounding source of the three.

 

However, as it's not solid state and doesn't support FLAC, I would like to know what other options are out there.
