I was wondering who got the most expensive portable audio gear?
I'm satisfied with mine since my Hornet arrived yesterday.
Please, post your gear and how much did you paid for it. That includes cables, amp, DAC, DAP, headphone, and anything else. Such for example custom taxes.

My gear is:

DAP: Iriver H120;
DAC: Headroom MicroDAC;
AMP: RSA "M" Hornet;
Headphone: Grado RS-1;
Cables: A 3 feet minitToslink-miniToslink and a TURBO mini-mini (still waiting for the TURBOs mini-mini).

I paid $1731, including a TURBOdock V8 and custom taxes for the MicroDAC.

What about yours? I'm sure there are a lot more expensive gears here, but how much more?
Post yours ...
