  My ears itch so much every time I try to stick something in..for more than 5 minutes.  Just can't do it

Same here. My ears cannot tolerate plastic or rubber being inserted in them for any length of time.

Great to see the HiFi-M8 still being used. I sold mine prematurely when I read it wasn't really a fully balanced implementation. But otherwise it sounded very good.

That is true.

I solved the problem with the CEntrance Mini-M8 which is true balanced.

I keep the Hifi-M8 as its output impedance switches are very useful for general earphone testing (11,2,1 ohms OI)

My "at work" portable setup - I love electrostats, but what I love more about this setup is the way I can enjoy an open and airy sound you can only get from open-backed sets, without too much sound leakage.  Perfect for work.  The only downside is how quickly it goes through batteries - need to get a universal DC adapter to power it.
 

 
 
However, this is my 'truly portable' setup - with the white filters and this fidue TRRS cable giving me balanced output (previously had it line-out'ed to a graham slee voyager), it's hard to justify lugging the stax setup around.  The sound is more closed off of course, but the SE846s have a nice weight, slam, and body to it that the SR002's lack.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but what DAP is that?

hasn't been asked before (to me, or here at least).  It's the Onkyo DP-X1! It works pretty well for my uses, but I'm wondering if 'upgrading' to the sony ZX2 is worth it or not.. does anyone have experience both?

Hell no, that it the ZX2 will stay with an outdated Android operating system.

d'oh!! sucks to see that android is going to hold it down just like a smartphone being EOL'ed after an year  that's a shame.  are there any noticeable sonic differences between the ZX2 and DPX1?  DPX1 is android too so I'm wondering if that'll get left behind as well...
