That looks damned nice! Hah, the nano is like a license plate on that amp...

Nice setup..I have the same amp..

one suggestion to reduce bulk and one more link in the chain....
Try a direct wired connector such as lineout4ipod...using high quality cable such as cardas, direct soldered to the inside of the plug, which locks into the ipod..

Too many times has my pocket dock unplugged when in my bag...im sick of it. Im receiving my lineout cable in the next day or 2, will post my findings compared to my current setup using a pocket dock with Kimber Kable mini to mini.

The pocket dock is too bulky for the nano...imo

yeah, i know. i had no idea what the IC would look like. i just told the guy to make me a 5" cable for about $25 dollars....and he came up with that.

it's sounds very nice. but i'm still trying to figure out if i should leave the amp in wide-bandwidth mode or not.

the IC was made by some guy who owns a shop called "audio directions" in honolulu.

i'm just using the radioshack adaptor until my sennheiser cable adaptor comes in.

what's a TRS connector? i guess i have them?? are they good?

You are darn crazy! Who uses the SR325i portably?! I like your rig very much and wish you hours of happy listening.

I second that wholeheartedly! You MUST ditch that adapter ASAP! Soon, your headphone jack will be ruined from all the stress and you'll really regret it. Either get the Sennheiser one that comes with the HD650 or the Grado one. Always buy one that is wired, not the cylindrical rat shack type you have.

Pffft SR325i



You can't be serious to lug the K1000s everywhere. Might as well just get a boombox because everyone will be listening.



I'm sure that's not what Steve Jobs meant by "pencil thin". I think it's more like "encyclopedia thin" right about now...nice setup.
