great that it plays anything via the USB port now, Poweramp, Neutron, Tidal, etc with the new (beta) FW, game changer for me.

Oh I didn't know that, is it the xmos FW from ifi's homepage?

Open a support ticket if you want access to v4.8 beta fw

Going through this thread for the past 30 minutes...so many great portable rigs and pictures of them and everytime I can hear myself thinking ''Hmmm, how would this one sound?''

Here are 2 of my own portable favourites:
 

 
1) Pono player (balanced mode) => balanced cable => Sony XBA-Z5
2) FiiO X5 => Crystal Piccolino ic => Cayin C5 => Toxic Silver Widow cable => Tralucent 1plus2
Both have wonderfull synergy imo...

Thx! Now I listen through tidal, and I have to say the sound quality is excellent! Just like listening to the pc!

Very nice emergency kit.

No kidding and once again why I need to stay out of this place! This rig is comparable to my home rig

 Sad thing is for everything I've spent in the portable side I could own this setup

Yeah that's my buddy's bass pick, I play without a pick. But I don't slap and pop enough to play any fishbone on bass :frowning2:
 
Funny, most amazing thing my PonoPlayer might have accomplished so far is turning that crappy 1992 Roland PA with mismatched PA speakers into a powerhouse of clarity.
 
I had 24bit Zep playing so loud and so clear the other night it was astounding. It was up there for the loudest music volume level I've ever been near, well, clear volume. And I've toured with rock bands, so I know loud.
 
Something about the way PonoPlayer removes distortion from every layer of playback leaves the signal so clean you can literally shake the boards off the wall without pain in the ears if your PA is up to it. I never knew mine was, since it was fed the usual mud and digital crud for the last 20 years.
