For years I have watched as people posted their portable rigs with two, three or even more pieces of gear strapped together with great headphones or IEMs and pondered if I would own anything like what I saw. So today I have the portable rig to end all portable rigs! 3 DAPs, half-a-terabyte plus of storage and power for everything from ultra-sensitive IEMs through to planar headphones, even all at the same time! Now I just need to find some rubber bands as I didn't have any that would fit...

I really like my E6, it does a fair bit, i use it on android which isn't very loud, but with the Fiio, I only need my phone on half volume and it is plenty loud enough. The presets are pretty handy on the Fiio aswell, I always use the mid boost, I find it sound the best of the 4.



For the best sound, I strongly suggest you to turn the volume on your smartphone to the max and use the FiiO as volume control

I find my phone distorts more at max volume, I put my volume 3 clicks from the end on my phone and then my Fiio about 3/4.


I have found that in most cases when double amping it is best to have the "power amp" at near max volume and control the volume with the source (i.e.. pre amp). This is what is standard in the pre amp/power amp speaker world. Generally the "power amp" has less noise and distortion at max volume than the amp in the source … so controlling the volume with the source keeps it within its sweet spot, YMMV.

The entire thing is Hugo, AK240, Centrance M8 + iPhone 5, X5, Pico Power and Pico Slim (because that is all I had room left for). I don't count the cost of the iPhone so it isn't $10k worth of gear.
