Awesome setup Rudi, I can't imagine what that setup would set you back but when you are talking portable high end rig is there really a number

My new Portable Rig


 
As you can see, there are no rubber bands used here to keep the amplifier and iPod coupled together.


 
Notice that there's a clean opening for the "Out" port for headphones


 
How was this done? Simply apply adhesive double-sided foam (not recommended if you don't want this setup to be permanent)


 
Notice the back panel of the Fiio E11 is free for swapping faulty/dead batteries


 
Restricted to one iPod Nano? Think again, this protective iPod Nano case serves as a housing unit that allows easy swapping in & out of multiple iPod Nano's


 
Here's the housing unit empty. Notice that the Fiio battery indicator is easily visible with or with out an iPod inside the case
 

 
Here's a different view of the setup, notice that the clamp allows breathable space between the Fiio E11 and the iPod Nano


 
Here's a pic of my Portable Rig powering my Audio Technica ATH-A900X

Hope you enjoyed it folks and fellow head-fiers

DigitalDJ, some of the finest pics I've ever seen and your layout almost makes you seem like a rep for either Fiio or Apple! The one burning question I have is in regards to the breathing room between the amp and pod, are you really experiencing a lot of heat issues between those two pieces

Thanks for the reply Rudi. Yep the 4S Headstage seems to be a winning combo. I hope the 5S will be as good.
Poster, those photos make me embarrassed that I bothered to post mine! :)

Sadly, I'm afraid the iPod Nano 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G won't fit into that case.

Nevertheless, thank you for the thorough instructions on how to leave the "Out" port clear. I was getting rather worried that there was no entry point to the amp for my interconnect.

Hi hotfever

I don't have glacier and portaphile

Wagnus vs my alo Rx 3 B

High :
Wagnus : has more refine and extended high , and better micro detail

Mid :
Wagnus : more sweet and very clean and clear midrange

Bass :
Wagnus : more deep impact than Alo Rx 3 B , better detail and very clean bass reproduction
The best bass I have heard in portable amp yet .

Separation :
Wagnus : better separation , that you can hear the music instrument placement more accurate.
Than Alo Rx 3 B

Soundstage :
Wagnus : has 3 D soundstage

Background :
Wagnus : has more black background than alo Rx 3 B

Noise :
Wagnus has almost Zero noise floor
Alo Rx 3 B has hissing


AK 120 vs Class -dB

Later I do more detail comparison and will post hear as DAC

This IMO

Sound like "lord of portable amp",even with balanced input i think rx3b doesnt hold a chance

Just got a unit if the up coming ADL X1 iDevice DAC. Have been enjoying its signature but it is rather noisy so far.
 
With the Heaven VI and then some quick snaps!

My desktop high end set up at home are :
Source : CDP April Music M500
Pre Amp : T+A V.10.2 tube
Power Amp / integrated Amp : Stax Srm 727 mk2

My best portable amp now is : Wagnus
Still can not have the same SQ from my T + A V10.2
At least 70% from my T + A is already my best portable amp .
I am very happy with my Wagnus now , Wagnus is running only with 2 x 1,5 Volt AA Battery
With so excellent SQ is behind my expectation.

I am waiting my TUR 06 , if it launching soon as portable rig look so cool
I like TU 05 , but the size is quiet big for portable and at home I have my T + A, that's why I don't buy TU 05 .
