How to bulid a perfect portable system with $1000

[fdhfdy]

as stated, I use Beo Sound2 plus EM2 Dual for that money. what yours idea?

 

[gp_hebert]

Altec Lansing iM716: 20$ (thanks to some sweet newegg deal)
DAP of your choice: 300$

Invest the other 680$ on music or home audio.

 

[NeObliviscaris]

ipod 160gb: $300
tomahawk: $250
triple fi 10: $350
lod: $100

 

[facelvega]

Stax SR-001 system: $300
Audiocat Mods to the SRM-001 amp: ca. $150
Spare batteries and fast charger: $25
DAP: $300
spare set of IEMs for when you need closed: up to $225.

I would go with facelvega's proposition, or just get ES-2 and have 300 left for a DAP. =]

I feel don't like using portable amp, it is not convenient when go out and not powful enough using at home.

 

[TSi]

UE 11 pro, like filipelli said
sell some stuff
and then get the cheapest mp3 player with the best SQ

 

[toxicsweet]

Sony A818 + UE11 for ultraportable

Sony A818 + Westone 3 for ultraforneverable

iMod 5.5G + ALO cable + Pico + Westone UM2

or just

Sony A818 + Denon C700/ER4P + ca. 700$ for $h17$.

 

[Sieg9198]

agree with toxicsweet's ultraportable

 

[mrarroyo]

Lets see ...

1. Used iModded 4th Gen iPod Photo 60Gb: About $325
2. Revelation Audio 99.999% Cryo Silver IC: About $90
3. MiniBox-E+: About $180
4. Shure E530 or 500, or Triple Fi, or UM2, or ATH ESW9

BTW, there is no perfect solution, but there are some very good ones out there. Good luck.

 

[Hingy]

I'm using iPod Nano 3G 8Gb, Qables SilverCab LOD, Meier Corda 2Move and Westone UM2 (ultra portable) or Alessandro MS-1 (portable

).

 

[anubis404]

I wouldn't go for an Ipod. I would suggest a Cowon D2 ($150-300) and a pair of and a pair of Shure E5s. ($500). If you have money left over, you could get a portable amp.
