I have been trying to find a good DAC/Amp combo that works with iOS / iPod Classics as a DAC and also scales from the LCD-2 down to JH16 or any other CIEM. I don't think it can happen, unfortunately.

Take a look at the apex glacier. Its got loads of power and works really well with iems. Only hisses with my ie80's (cant hear it when music is playing) and is silent with d2000's, amperiors and pfe122. One user has had positive impressions using it with an lcd-2.

Thanks for the recommendation. A friend has one and he mentioned he gets a ton of RF interference when he uses it with his iPhone 5. At least it is a very small unit.
 
I think I will just cross off the list the use of my old iPod Classic 160GB and will stick with either an iPhone 4 or iPhone 5, as the ALO International will work with either quite well. The only issue with the iPhone 5 (running iOS 7) is the long Lightning to USB cable, so it won't be that compact and portable.

That is true regarding RF interference as I get loads when I use it as a dac with my laptop when streaming music of youtube.

Thanks for the photos again Rudi!!!
 
I do have a question.  You mentioned earlier you were selling your lower voltage CLAS-db, because of the Theorem.  Which do you consider superior, a balanced CLAS stack or your new Theorem?  I'm mostly asking in terms of headphones, not IEMs....
