Man, there are so many nice rigs on here it just boggles the mind, seems I've had a ton of configurations over the years and I know for a fact that I can't begin to touch the numbers some of you have and have had but this is such a fun hobby and not too expensive if you put it against bass boats

Nano (Any generation) and the RSA Shadow fits into my pocket everyday and has for the past 6 years.  I use a Nano gen 4 or 5 because I like the tactile buttons to fast forward from song to song.  Recently tried using the Nano 7 but with the need for the Apple adaptor, it doesn't make it to pocket friendly.  I'll throw a picture up shortly.  And before the boo birds start, I'll say this.  The source being a Nano makes little to no difference in my book.  ANY RSA amp and JH 13s will compensate very nicely for what the Nano may lack, especially with a custom made, high quality LOD made by a certain head-fier.

Adapter not necessarily required.......
 In fact, Nano 7 headphone-out offers better channel separation. Further A/Bing also confirms that the line-out really doesn’t sound audibly better than just double amp the headphone-out. So the conclusion is, there is really no need to use the adapter for its line-out on a portable setup. You will be just as good with double amping. To do so, just adjust the volume to max then drop to three steps lower, which should give you almost the same voltage (0.94Vrms) as line-out and shouldn’t clip your portable amp.

I can't imagine listening to any of my portable DAP's unamped for long periods of time, especially on the train commuting.  I listen to my Touch and occassionally my Nano 7 unamped in the office where I'm not really concerned so much about the best sound.  Usually I'm listening to satellie radio or have a movie running just for background noise.  I am not UN-happy with the sound of the sat radio unamped in the office while listening it a much lower volume than I normally would listen.  I just do NOT like having to use a touch screen dap for my commute.  I wish there was a remote control I could clip to my jacket or something where I wouldn't have to pull it out of my pocket to change songs.  That's why my 4th and 5th gen Nanos are treated very very well.  I am also DEEPLY disppointed that Apple did not give the Nano 7 wifi capability.  I would love to have just used the Nano as my do everything dap but with no wifi, I can't stream sat radio or stream anything for that matter.
