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

Minimalism can sometimes be a virtue.
 
Not too many people realize how incredible the JH-16's can sound right out of an unamped portable source.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if the most highly praised universal IEM's like the SM3's right out of (any $$$ source + any $$$ amp) will be capable of surpassing a simple setup like the JH-16's with the Clip+.
 
On top of that, the 16's full potential isn't even close to being reached with the Clip+.  This is my dilemma at the moment because I'm not sure what my next DAC/amp upgrade should be.
 
My nick? I rather keep it a mystery.

i also agree with what you're saying, no offense to the people that have done it, but i dont understand say buying an imod, and a 3-400 dollar amp and then some 250-350 dollar headphones. for the same amount of money you could get a clip and a set of 13's or 16's and have higher quality audio :/
 
but once the 3a is out, the best setup will be ipod classic + algorithm solo + 3A, and as far as im concerned there isnt even a desktop rig that could touch that, and its portable! the best part for me is that ill be able to take it to work

If I'm out and walking around a lot, I like to use my iPod touch + FiiO E1 + IE8's. Love the remote when I walk around so I don't need to mess with my iPod.
 
If I'm not moving around much and can sit down at a library or something, I like to use my iPod Touch + Headstage Arrow + IE8.

Please excuse my ignorance, what is an algorithm solo? I googled it but nothing about hifi or portable hifi came up. I am seriously considering the 3A/16 combo for my classic so this interests me!

Well, you did have to go and show me this didn't you! You know I am going to explain to my bank manager that later in the year a large amount of $$ will be leaving my bank account and it is all your falt. I think this may just be ultimate portable rig!

its not that it may be ian, it will be the best portable rig 

 all the amazing reviews people have been giving of the 3a are from an analog line out from an ipad, i cant wait to hear it with digital input

So do I, I also want to listen to this combo. AlgoRhythm Solo => JH-3A, BEAST.

On the day that I am really mobile, with lots of outdoor interviews, the JH16/iPod Nano combo is my favorite rig.
