I maybe committing hara-kiri by deviating from the original intention of this thread but I think that the balanced stage that iBasso DB-2 offers would be a significant advantage over the CLAS. I think the question of single v. Balanced never got fully resolved on this thread.
 
But then, there is the bulk to consider. This rig already looks bulky, if you replace CLAS with DB-2, you can expect to be detained for long hours for questioning.

Jude,
 
a great review. I have been looking for a portable rig and now I know exactly what to get. Thanks a ton.
