O2 is not exactly a "portable" amp. It's more of a "transportable" amp. You can carry it around in your bag, but I doubt you'd be able to fit into your jeans pocket and walk around like nothing.

Thanks a lot guys.. I had considered the O2 but yep, it is a bit on the large side for my liking. I've had serious thoughts about going for the XO2 but stories about zero after sales service when the battery dies is a bit off putting.
If I can stay away from this section of the forum and resist the temptation to buy a BH I think I'm just going to wait for the Fiio X3 player due to it already having a very powerful amp section built in.. makes the most sense I think.

Hi there,
I've got the ODAC and O2 (as two separates) and they sound fantastic
and I am waiting for the FiiO X3 DAP to be released.
