Not sure if this classifies as budget, but just got my Little Dot 1+ and picked up a used ipod 80g for $45. Got a pair of replacement AKG Q701 coming a few days.
 

Spoiler: Warning%3A%20Spoiler!

 

Rossy - Sure would love to hear your impression of the Q701s with the LD I+

I had mine for about a week and loved them, I had some problems with a schiit magni and it took out the left channel of the headphones. I have a replacement coming on Monday so I will give you my humble opinion then.

NEW TOY!!! Time to spam the pictures in a few places.

My audio rig, complete for now:
Rockbox'ed Sansa Clip Zip 4gb with 32gb micro sd.
Fiio E11 Amp
Shure SE215 earphones (with the mic cable so I can quickly plug them into my phone for hands free calling.

Size comparison with Galaxy SII T989

Neat little package in my armband, complete with tucking excess headphone cable in so it doesn't snag.

Yes, I need to refine how I mount the clip to the E11.

Nice gear!  As for mounting your Clip Zip to the E11, can I suggest 3M Dual Lock?
 
Tyll over at InnerFidelty has a nice article and video on it.  It may be a little more heavy duty than you need, but it would definitely keep everything together.

Dual Lock is great, I used a Velcro strip for mine.

Awesome set-up!  Velcro is another fine choice.  I always used tiny little Velcro pads to keep my old original Clip and FiiO E3 together.

Thanks!
The wife owns the Clip+ now...

The Velcro strap is around the E11 and the Clip's "Clip" tucks in under. I couldn't find pads that would stay stuck, locally anyway, I didn't search online.

Very cool.  And is that a Body Glove belt clip on the E11?

 

[TrollDragon]

It was till the tang snapped off the top, picked it up at Princess Auto years back for $3 should have bought 10 of them. It was a great belt clip.

I have one, too.  I think I had it attached to my old Nokia back in the day.  Still fully functional and in great shape with the interchangeable face plates.  A great clip all in all.

Thanks. Dual lock was my first thought, but I plan to keep the clip attached to the Zip for use with my armband. I may opt to remove the clip and sew Velcro to the armband eventually, though.

This is how I'm running it today, lol. Tomorrow may change again.

Looks good like that, too.  And we all change our mind about our gear all of the time.  Otherwise, I don't think any of us would be here!

Been in my shorts pocket all day and the bands haven't budged at all like I worried they would.
