Regarding the sigma25, I actually meant to feed it the 19V from the XP8000/18000 and regulate that down to 15.

instead of the willy cable? yes of course but to be honest where is the reason to not take a 15v providing PSU only?

So you can use the battery as a portable (though large) solution.

Having received my LCD-2s before Audeze started offering the plastic travel case, I thought about ordering one from them, but ended up customizing an HPRC 2400F, instead.  
 
Here it is, with a Touch, shown for scale:
 

 
There's room for more than just the LCD-2s (below):  
 
Sony PCM-M10, Milian Acoustics SPOFC interconnect cable, Meier-Audio Corda Stepdance, Energizer XP8000 with XPAL WI15 cable and AC charger.
 
(The headphone cable is carried behind the foam, in the lid.)
 

 
Having opened the case, it only takes about 45 seconds to ready everything for use (below):
 

 
Getting through airport security with this could be interesting...

Very nice. My current idea for my b22 is to build it into a small suitcase or pelican case, with enough room to put some headphones. Haven't quite figured out how to arrange it all yet...

Heh, well we'll see how far I actually get with the idea. It might wind up being a little unwieldy. I've got parts for the AMB M3 and a20 as well, which would both be better "portable" ideas. Actually, I was considering the M3 with an XP8000/18000 running off the 19V supply. Hmm, too many ideas, too little time.

Mike, as per usual you push the boundaries mate! That looks amazing. I was hoping there would be enough room in the case that came with the LCD's to do something similar, sadly not but no mind, the case they come with is wonderful, really pro feeling, I have already put it to use taking the phones over to a friends place, no regrets whatsoever in getting it over the wooden box!

I am now looking at a canvas billingham type camera shoulder bag that has room for my iPad and padded sections that are adjustable to contain the rest of my set up, should work well I think!

Oh yes, what is a b22? My memory is on system overload at the moment!

The b22 is a DIY amp from AMB.org and generally considered one of the (if not *the*) highest end SS amps you can build.

Ah, thank you, will do some research on it, good luck with it!

I hear you - I have no idea what to do with my Audeze wooden box.  It just went right back into the cardboard box it came in.

OK, I will qualify my next statement with the info that my Mom was a nurse so grew up in an environment where dark humor was the norm ( the only way proffesionals in the medical profession can get through some tough days!).

I have a use for the wooden box! Would make a great urn for a headphone fanatics ashes when they slip this mortal coil!
