I see one day someone will come up with a design combining the headphones with a dap, getting rid of all these wires as well. 

 
A few of these already exist, like http://www.sony.com.au/product/nwz-wh505 . Never encountered them before though so i have no idea how they sound.

i would like to share my 3 days old new toys :

Source : Shozy DAP Alien
Dac / Amp : Shozy Magic little amp so big like hippo lighter
IEM's :
Aurisonic Rocket
JVC HA FX 850

SQ :
These Two Iems pair direct With My Shozy Alien SQ is Very Good
Alien + Magic Dac Amp SQ is excelent from This little amp
IMO

Where did you buy that DAP and how much?

Rig has evolved to DX90 (w/Lurker 2.1.5 L3), Vorzamp Pure II, and Parterre.... Loving the sound from this setup. Very, very pure (no pun... ) in tone, quick/stops on a dime, and clean sounding.... All without being clinical and soulless. The combo has excellent body and fluidity, which makes listening to any of the genres I enjoy highly satisfying.

How does the alien sound? It is one dap that I am fairly interested in. I currently use a hippo biscuit because of its clean and fairly detailed sound and enjoy the lack of a screen (I only have a few albums which I listen to on a daily basis) as well as its robustness since its made of metal.

My Shozy Alien will be here soon. After seeing Rudi's black version I'm having second thoughts about the gun metal grey.

Btw: I hear the price is going to bounce up to $200+ soon for Alien, for example it's still $169 USD on Penon Audio atm.

There's a member here saying it gives X5 a decent run: http://www.head-fi.org/t/733349/a-little-about-the-shozy-alien/30#post_11045133

The EX1000 with the EX800ST cable has quite some psychological impact on me, unexpectedly. This thing paired with the capless setup just blows my mind, especially when I test it with Brahms' and Chopin's PC #1's, with some of the most demanding orchestral wrok for air, speed, energy, spacing and dynamics.
 
My next diy project will be recabling my EX1000 using 26 awg pure silver solid core with cotton jacketing. Purely for fun as I have no expectation for improvement given what I have. 
 
I am puzzled by why Sony used gold plated metal thread for the EX800ST (7550) cables but plastics for all other cables.

911 Portable setup when my source run out of battery

 
I never need a 911 with my 256GB CF diymod powered by a 2000mAh.  LOL.
 
Is that EX1000? I can't tell from your pic. That cable looks awesome. What wires did you use?

2000mAH that awesome.
Yups, its EX1000 with silver plated copper wires. IMO its better to use copper or SPC, because when I used pure silver wire the bass ia gone and it become "overbright" piercing my ear
