Yeah but other company's have done it too like whiplash, getting it done by red wine isn't worth it dude wayy to much money

To be honest it's not worth paying extra for others to do it.  Best thing is to DIY.  Just grab a soldering iron, solder and gather parts needed.  Unless you have like absolutely zero experience in soldering, or you just don't have time to DIY..
 
Happy with mine done about 2 years ago.  Going strong and no signs of failure.

How you liking the Nano? I was thinking of picking one up for a few albums and my podcasts 

Try the sony E series MP3. I personally have one, and love it. It has pretty good SQ and also have a LOD. It is also very responsive(quick), UI is simple, doesn't require iTunes, is very portable, and finally, cheap.

My portable system is made up of iPod Video (iMod by Red Wine Audio) + Alo line out Cable + Just Audio AHA-120 + Cardas 1/4 to 1/8 converter and Denon AH-D7000. I tried various headphones and in-ears from Denon (AH-D2000, AH-D5000), Sennheiser (HD595, HD439, PX100), Ethymotic Research (ER4), Sony (MDX EX 1000), BeyerDynamic (DT770) and I forget others, also tried various amps (Nuforce Icon mobile, HeadRoom Air Head, iQube) but nothing comes close to this one. I get strange looks in the bus and office as I surrounded by people who have mostly stock ear buds and at times only one ear plugged in. One of these days I am going to Print a t-shirt which says "Audiophile & Proud" in the front and the details of my gear at the back.

Does your amp+ipod even fit in a pocket? It looks big for a portable setup.

 

[sree]

Well amp in one pocket and the iPod in another

. There is no way I can listen to it on the go but in a bus/train/office where I am mostly sitting, this is just amazing. I have not come anything closer to this in sound signature yet in the semi-open / closed category. 
 
Just Audio AHA-120 is a truly under appreciated amp and it even drives my HD-800's to a respectable volume with good dynamics. For a while I was carrying NuForce HAP-100 to office just so that I can get better dynamics with Denon's but AHA-120 is so good that it didn't make me miss the amp, also I no longer have to carry a heavy amp along and explain it every time to the office security. Not that they do not grill me everyday about the AHA-120. 

 

[audionewbi]

I dont think AHA-120 is under appreciated, it is just the price tag makes it harder for people to buy and appreciate :-D

That sounds more transportable!

Only information I can find on it isn't any favorable. It's more expensive and I'd have to carry new cables for it. I have an iPhone 5 and if I can get the iPod Nano then I have a spare Lightning Cable which makes the idea of spending $150 on a device a little better when it comes with things that are convenient and usable. I think the only way I would get some other device for my Podcasts is if it was small and had wifi so it could keep everything automatically up to date.

I can see how it might not fit you. Well, I have no other suggestions. BTW, what did you find that was unfavorable? I personally think that these are great DAP.

Nice rig Malmc02!
How do you find the iMod compared to other regular i-devices? Thinking about picking one up in the future.

Thanks, ForShure, am enjoying it. I spent some time listening to iMod vs iPod and bypassing some of that junk in the iPod does make a difference, at least to my ears...
