Quite innovative! How do you play music on your iPhone or iDevice? Spotify? iTunes ALAC?

Thanks! 
It's unfortunate that I can't as easily use Amps through a LOD like the iPhone of yore, but Lightning is still young.
Lightning is really an awesome connector, and I can't wait to see what is available for it in the coming years.
 
I am a iTunes Match subscriber so my 'local' library is ALAC (at least the albums that count).
I travel a lot so if I need to pull something off Apple's server, it is AAC 256 (iTunes +).

For portable I try to apply the KISS method.  1 input 1 output.   So with that idea I think I will stick with iems and a single source.   So here are the two pairs of iems i use the sony mdr-xb60ex and the velodyne vpulse 
And here are the sources I have 
I will most likely ditch the lumia because, while the sound quality is good the volume seems capped without an amp and who wants to listen to AC/DC at a reasonable volume?  Also can someone recommend a cheap audio cable that is more flexible than the one fiio provides with the e6?

Is that an S3? Do you use anything special with it like a DAC or certain apps other than the commonly seen Poweramp and the USB APP?

My latest commute rig that allows me to:
 
1. Get the best UI that people here often talk about....Frankly, i dont see much difference than using audiophile DAP
2. Access large storage of music (2TB wireless hdd) instead of managing multiple microsd cards moving back and forth
3. Bit perfect high res and DSD and any other large digital file gimmicks
4. Excellent SQ because of Hugo and 1p2
 
ipod touch 5 (onkyo HD  or 8player (wifi player)) > ipad cck > some cheap micro usb cables (In fact, I compared around 4 cheap usb cables in different lengths using HD800 and concluded this cable produces the smoothest sound) > Chord Hugo > Furutech (6.3 > 3.5mm adapter) > Tralucent silver/gold cable > Tralucent 1plus2 > Ortofon tips (Large)
 
The only missing piece is the uber cable but such is life...

Does the harddrive being wireless effect the sound quality in any negative way?

Would not want to knock that beer over mate!! Be a waste of good beer!! Looking at that fine ale is making me thirsty.
 
Seems a lot of us drink brewskies whilst listening to our rigs - should be a thread dedicated to it. Pictures of your favourite ale whilst chilling out with your gear.
