It's a phone, usb powered DAC, portable amp and earphones. What's not mobile about it?

If you pulled that out on a NYC subway, you'd be arrested. That looks like a bomb.

This might be the best cable for the U12. It adds more air and treble to their very, very warm sound, and celebrates the expansive soundstage the U12 is capable of.

Is that the Kimber Kable or something equally as pretty?

Mm...happened to me at the airport going to CanJam Singapore. Security took out my DPX1/CDM stack for re-X-ray. I had to explain that it was a headfi rig. They were half-convinced.

This is going to be tougher hurdle for headfiers going forward, with the latest TSA order banning hand-carry laptops from incoming US flights from certain countries.

Owned both before. They have different flavours.
 
DP-X1 has a slight AK-ish signature to them: Neutral, dryish, detailed, spacious.
ZX2 is classic Sony house sound: Smooth, musical, inoffensive. 
 
One complements the other. I would prefer the Onkyo for day listening, and the Sony for night.

Thanks so much for that descripition. That's what I've noticed about my DP-X1 - it's airy and neutral, but dry, slightly rough in the upper edges, and a little thin/clinical.  I love pairing it to my graham slee voyager amp as it seems to de-burr all the edges down to a smoooooth tube-y finish, and adds a bit of punch and firmness in the bass.  It makes everything a bit more musical, laid back, analog, and fun at the expense of a slight bit of clarity and accuracy.  reminds me of my old marantz 2220b amp (compared to the arcam delta 290).  Dig the combo together, but don't like carrying it around so much.
 
Hoping the ZX2 can bring some of that warm analog smoothness back so I can go back to carrying a DAP and IEMs only.  Time to shop around ebay - seems it isn't unreasonable to get these for ~$800-900usd now. 
 
Thanks again for the advice!

No, it's just a straight micro to mini otg cable. My phone can power it directly (V10). I can also use it eith my LG G3 with 9000mah extended battery so battery is not an issue.
