Nice set up, Rudi! How are those Sig DJs sounding? I'm sure you know this but there's absolutely no audible difference between WAV and FLAC unless the encoder left any artefacts. Unlike MP3 and other lossy codecs, lossless ones only compress so smaller files and that can be totally reversed meaning nothing is changed/altered.

The only reason you should be ripping into WAV is if you wanted the option to encode it in another format down the line. 

Thank you

Sig DJ sound very Good pair With AK 120

My opinion WAV music file is the best SQ compare to Other music file.

The PS3 also has Digital audio outputs (optical being one of them). 

Worth noting, if looking to use headphones with it.

I know see the pic of my optical cable in the system, that's how I hook up my surround sound

My new amp Wagnus just arrived this evening

Source : AK 120
Ibasso HDP R10
Headphone : Fostex TH 900
Audeze LCD 3
Cable : many branded and DIY mini to mini

SQ : my best portable amp to date
SQ like high end full desktop

I can not believe Wagnus run only with 2 x 1,5 Volt AA battery , can produce so excellent SQ
And so powerful .

Wagnus : is excellent for headphone , it is not so good for iem it is to powerful

Please see my impression here :

That is a neat little amp you have there

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that must be the most expensive portable amp out there.
Deary me.

Yes you are right Tom Yum Goong
Wagnus is one the most expensive portable amp in Japan .
If you hear Wagnus you forget the price , SQ so excellent
You never think that is come out from portable amp .
That's why many Tone ingeneering in Japan use Wagnus as portable monitoring amp

Not sure that I want to follow the Wagnus but here's my set up. 4S,Headstage Arrow 4G, Sennheiser IE8's with ACS custom tips. I'm really pleased with the sound and super portability.

My new Portable Rig


 
As you can see, there are no rubber bands used here to keep the amplifier and iPod coupled together.


 
Notice that there's a clean opening for the "Out" port for headphones


 
How was this done? Simply apply adhesive double-sided foam (not recommended if you don't want this setup to be permanent)


 
Notice the back panel of the Fiio E11 is free for swapping faulty/dead batteries


 
Restricted to one iPod Nano? Think again, this protective iPod Nano case serves as a housing unit that allows easy swapping in & out of multiple iPod Nano's


 
Here's the housing unit empty. Notice that the Fiio battery indicator is easily visible with or with out an iPod inside the case
 

 
Here's a different view of the setup, notice that the clamp allows breathable space between the Fiio E11 and the iPod Nano


 
Here's a pic of my Portable Rig powering my Audio Technica ATH-A900X

Hope you enjoyed it folks and fellow head-fiers

Wagnus is more for transportable amp than portable
But the weight is lighter than my HDP R10
I have the same rigs as your set up , it is very compact size with very good SQ for your set up
iPhone 4S > Arrow 4S > any iems or portable headphone

Thanks for your reply. I guess I'll put in the hard yards and post highly interesting, very important - no frills sentences until I'm deemed responsible enough to stick a picture of my headphone wearing gerbal up. [excuse my late reply, my computer died last week]

Sound quality between 2 dac : clas vs ak120 (dac only)
