Right now its RS-1s or Ety 4s through a Xin SM4/Punnisher silver low profile lod/ipod classic. Rig fits in a digital camera hip pouch 4x6x2.
 
I'd upgrade the Etys some day to the JH line but the Etys just keep on playing.

What is SM4 - Supermicro (IMHO, the best amp with ER-4)?

 

[dBel84]

figured i may as well chip in for the ortho lovers. 
 
iriver H10 (highly underappreciated imo) - mini3 ( high performance version ) - modded yamaha YHD2. 
 
I have tried switching components in/out , iems etc but this offers best sound comfort to me..dB

 

[D.Rose]

i would say RWA iMod > TTVJ slim > JH13(TWag)
that's what i am using now.
Probably it will be iPod classic > AlgoRhythm Solo > JH-3A > JH16 later

I wonder how "thick" will be the stack of the iPod + AlgoRhythm Solo + JH3A?   How truly portable (versus transportable)?   If one could find a well-fitting bag, this sounds like a pretty great sounding system.

Here's my soon-to-be portable rig:
240GB 5.5 iMod - ALO Rx - Westone UMX3.
 
Ahhh...

yeah you are right, a well-fitting bag is important. Some use iPad as a DAP, i don't see any reason why this is not portable.

how or where could you buy a 240 gig ipod?

There are ways to open up an iPod and add an aftermarket hard drive. I don't know the specifics, but I've seen it done. And I'm seriously considering going that route after I get around to re-ripping all of my discs to lossless. So far I've been surviving with AAC files.



Anyhow, my dream rig is now the JH13 with the JH-3A amp. One of the best things I've ever heard, and this is from someone who used to be dismissive of the whole IEM thing. As soon as I put a few ducks in a row (and unload some unused gear) I'll place my order. I'll probably run it off my iPad or maybe an iPod with a big drive inserted.

I adapt my rig to my lifestyle. When I shuffle regularly between countries (college, business trips, on-site assignments, secondments etc...), I like having a good portable rig - ESW10JPN + a clean source, probably a Dr. DAC DX, is great. Whilst actually traveling or vacation, good universal IEMs are fine, you can just throw them into bag with a player and go. Full-sized cans are a luxury, I'll get them when the lifestyle permits and go without when it does not. I am currently interested in the Chinese custom IEMs, the financial risk is lower when on the move, given all the random things that can happen...
 
JH13 -> JH-3A sounds heavenly but completely outside my range. =( sigh.

If you also want upgraded audio quality look into redwineaudio's iMod options, or research diy-mod. Vinnie at redwine will install the drive/battery free if he converts your iPod into an iMod. The hardest thing about installing the drive yourself is actually getting the case open safely.

How does it compare with your full size rig (Zana + HD800 if your signature is up to date)?

my ultra-portable rig: FLAC -> Clip+ -> JH-16's
-Completely blown away by this sweet simple combo. I'm having trouble imagining a potentially better ultra-portable rig?
 
my portable rig: FLAC -> S:Flo2 -> JH-16's
-The S:Flo2 hasn't arrived yet, but if it's HO isn't much of an upgrade over the Clip+ then I'll just use it for it's LO in my semi-portable rig.
 
my semi-portable rig: FLAC -> S:Flo2 -> Go Vibe Petite -> JH-16's
-For now, I'm quite satisfied with how the Petite sounds connected to my PC as a DAC, so I'm hoping it'll sound just as impressive out of the S:Flo2's LO.

sanity8me, I am amazed with your choices. I thought that I am very rational minimalist but you beat me to the ground!
