  Here is part of my rig: AK100 --> ALO Green Line --> ALO International --> ALO Signature 16 cable w/XLR termination and mini balanced adapter --> LCD-2. Also included is a photo of the 1/4" adapter for my ALO PanAm that is used at the office. I am anxiously awaiting some JH16's..........
 

 
Man, I would never get much work done with those around. How's the PanAm? I guess it's the right size for a Office rig, yes? Or did you pick it for it's other qualities?

First portable rig! Diymod-GoVibe Vestamp-Shure se535

I hope those se535 sound as good as they look.

I love the PanAm! I have Cifté, Mullard and Siemens tubes for it. I am still burning them all in, but I am happy with the setup.

Yea they sound great! Compared to my jh13fp which are much more expensive, makes me appreciate how the 535s performs but cost a fraction of the price.

  Yeah...me too.  Just block head-fi web and all the audio related websites.

 
In my view no point to block - it only comes back harder. The trick is to embrace it and be happy.

Nice setup, Rudi! How are you liking the Theorem with the LCD-2?

Thank you Pedro
cyberlabs Theorem 720 DAC is my best iDevice DAC / Amp in one box solution

Theorem can drive all headphone from low to high impedance headphone in excellent SQ
So some of iems : like um 3 DD , Phonak 232 , Earsonic SM 64 v1 with low noise

With LCD 2 rev 3 and LCD 3 has very good synergy

Minus only : hiss with BA driver like my Fit Ear MH 335 DW , Westone um 3 x rc ,

Ultrasone ED 8 Ruthenium best synergy with a Theorem 720

Dac / Amp : Cyberlabs Theorem 720 DAC
Headphone : Ultrasone ED 8 Ruthenium
Cable : Whiplash Audio Twag / Twcu hybrid cable v2

Thanks, Rudi. My whole setup falls down when I need/want to use an iPod Classic, which means I need a different DAC/Amp than my ALO International. The problem is I will likely be using my JH16 with it and hiss is a huge turnoff for me. So for now I keep doing what I am doing with the AK100/ALO International for the LCD2 as well as JH16. I will try my hand at my old iPhone 4 running iOS 7 as well.

If you like Alo International , you will love Theorem 720 more for your LCD 2 in term of SQ
Your Alo international has slightly more power than Theorem .
Yes with my Jh 16 old version got hiss

I am not quite sure that's how it works...

I have been trying to find a good DAC/Amp combo that works with iOS / iPod Classics as a DAC and also scales from the LCD-2 down to JH16 or any other CIEM. I don't think it can happen, unfortunately.
