Hey slwiser, I'm really considering this set up and I'm hoping you might be able to tell me a thing or two :-D
 
I was wondering what the Continental v2 brings to the table in this set up? Since you're even using DT1350s, which don't need the extra umph, does the Continental v2 make them sound any better than the HP-P1 by itself? Are they lacking anything when you hook them up directly to the iPod that the HP-P1 doesn't fix? How do they sound out of the HP-P1 alone, is another amp necessary? Would another amp(RSA p-51 or something) be any better, if you had to guess Haha, if you could really tell me anything at all that you feel about this combo I'd be really happy because I've been tpying with this idea since I heard about the v2... Thanks!

Hey. I am just guessing but... When using my DT1350 with my Schiit Lyr at home that they have fuller bass than when listening with my alo rx2 and Clas combo. I would guess that the V2 may be able to flow some more current plus provide the Tubey sound that may benefit the Dt1350's. They are great cans given their size.

The ALO Continental V2 brings a tube sound to the table; i.e., more sensual, emotional feeling to the sound which is very good for female vocals such as Renee Olstead, Jane Monheit, Kimiko Itoh; etc.  The HP-P1 by itself is great and  I really can't justify the ALO based on sound quality itself since the HP-P1 is very good even better than the ALO with most of the music I listen too such as dense orchestra music, classical, oriental, jazz and acoustic.  I purchased the ALO on a whim.  The HP-P1 digital filter being very subtle does its job successfully in allowing me to tune its sound for most of what I listen too.  I will keep the ALO since I do enjoy the sensual, emotional sound of those females vocals.  I guess you could also put male voices into this bag as well, Nat King Cole is done very well with the ALO.  The HP-P1 is very fast on transients thereby doing anything acoustic very well. Deep drums of oriental music, guitar strings and such are very well done.
 
As I have said else where, the ALO's appearance is much closer to a well done DIY amp as compared with the high end professional look of the Fostex HP-P1.  Machining marks can be seen on the casing edges of the ALO where this will not be the case with others.  The lettering on the ALO is almost billboard in size and stamped on.  I have seen with other ALO amps where I can expect the lettering to start coming off after some use whereas with other high end units such as the Fostex and Headamp units the lettering is laser etched.
 
Hope this addresses your questions.

i have the black v1 and i actually chose it for this very reason.  when looking at the photos on ALOs site i noticed that while the silver is somewhat more badass looking, on close examination you could tell the finish was a bit rough.  the black one, on the other hand, is painted in black enamel paint making it very smooth and almost glasslike.  i think it looks great.  
 
as to the sound, i really do like mine a lot but i prefer to match it with the CLAS rather than the HP-P1.  the Fostex really does want to be used on it's own as it is a complete system.  a while back i played with mixing and matching amps with both of them and this is what i settled on.  sadly it was too long ago for me to able to give a good description of the SQ differences.

Used to have this settup. Its a good rig! 
I "upgraded" to the E7 from an E5 though
and my M6's broke so I'm getting VSonic GR-07s
and my clip+ headphone jack broke so I got an (in the making) iMod
 
But fond memories! ultraportble but I'm not too keen on how small the clip is. just seems to lack "presence".
EDIT: that's a really nice interconnect!!
