I guess "portable" is relative, but except for the headphones this is about as portable as it gets:
 
1. Nexus 5 with CM11 and PowerAmp Pro.
2. Stoner Acoustics UD110V2 DAC.
3. FiiO E5 Amplifier.
4 Audio Technica AT-M50's.

Sounds great for less than $175 ($60 for the UD110v2, $22 for the E5 and $91 for the AT-M50's. :)

Hey man, a rig is a rig! I've got something not too different and much like yourself IEMs have at least picqued my interested.

If you want a cheapest and most portable dap, here is the one (I just got). :)
 
This one has a 4gb micro card (removable), USB jack, power on/off switch (for play and stop music). It doesn't sound bad except the bass not hitting hard enough. LOL

Yeah, and I really love it; as far as I can tell the sound is awesome, especially considering the price. I'm hearing tons of things I never picked up on when I was using Musical Fidelity EB-50s (sadly the cable broke because I wreck headphones, which is why I don't have any IEMs), and they cost way more.
 
Speaking of which, does anyone know if it's possible to replace the cables on those things?

Ok. Finally got the pic uploaded.

Special Edition ATH-M50s, iPod Classic, FiiO EO6. Nothing too fancy.

God I need some in-ears.


A cheapo fiio lod would be a very good upgrade on the cheap.

My Classic's disk gave up the ghost the other day, so I dug this geriatric out of my junk closet. Surprisingly, I also found the wallwart... Charged it up and it works fine. I think the music I have on it goes back to my 160kbps days, but plugged into the E07K and the P7s it sounds damn good. As long as I don't move it. A dodgy headphone socket is why I chucked it in the closet in the first place.

Searched it up, and I think I'll buy an L9 provided I don't blow all my money on albums first. Any other upgrade ideas (this isn't just my portable rig - sadly - so I'm willing to build it up)?
 
Edit: Well, Amazon Canada is a rip-off as always. 10 bucks on the US one, 35 on the Canadian.
 
Edit #2: And it's 30 dollar shipping on the US, so the Canadian one would actually be cheaper. I think I live near a FiiO reseller. I'll see what they can do.
