Thanks for the replies :D I ended up buying the USD DAC cable from headstage. I'm going to mod it soon by adding a longer cable and a right angle plug just waiting for the sleeving and heat shrink to arrive :D

I rockboxed my ipod classic 6g with EmCORE from freemyipod I'm not sure if they support the nano 4g yet though...

I back the sennheiser hd 25s too, especially for your uses :D

LeeSSang has good music :P

I own a pair of hifiman he 300s and I think that they are okay for rock music :D They are very light, so I don't think comfort will be an issue, and they cost $250 in hifiman's website.  

I've owned both the 535s and the s9. I'm currently using my 535 (remolded) with my ipod classic, and I do admit that the sound is very dry, and I miss my s9 (I bought the classic for the disk space). So I do recommend you buying a cowon (not necessarily a s9) for the BBE effects, if you are...

Hi, this is my first(?)ish post in Head-Fi!! I'm currently using a ttvj slim with the DAC and I want to replace it because i thought the ttvjs were overkill for my headphones (I have the Shure 840s and the Hifiman 300s). On the other hand, I want to have an external DAC because my laptop's...

I have a ttvj slim and I think they sound decent :D
