I went with a 32GB iPod Touch 5th Gen and a JDS labs C5D.  It sounds fantastic.   http://i.imgur.com/dJlCcoW

My thought on the iPod touch 5th gen is that iOS7 enabled digital audio out over the lightning connector.  I know that the iPod would be very stable, and I'm not going to get annoyed with it being buggy (like the x3 or the DX50). I'd run the iPod to the C5D like this...

I recently bought my first pair of custom IEMs (1964 V6-S), and I am loving them.  At my desk I have a schiit magni/modi stack that have paired really well with the IEMs, and now I am looking at a portable solution, and stuck.  Where the Schiit stack was an easy decision, I'm having a hard time...

I bought a FiiO E18, and it went back after less than a day.  I charged it, plugged it into my PC, and the audio was fantastic.  I couldn't believe what I was hearing out of a tiny DAC/AMP.  Then I plugged it into my HTC One with the included OTG cable (why I bought the E18), and I couldn't play...
