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

Thanks for the reply Rudi. Yep the 4S Headstage seems to be a winning combo. I hope the 5S will be as good.
Poster, those photos make me embarrassed that I bothered to post mine!

I hope for 5 S as well
I am as IDevice fan boy this time I skip to buy Iphone 5 , because my IMO SQ below my iPhone 4 S.

I am waiting my TUR 06 , if it launching soon as portable rig look so cool
I like TU 05 , but the size is quiet big for portable and at home I have my T + A, that's why I don't buy TU 05 .

 
I think I'm going to do the same thing.  AnakChan's review pushed me over the edge...

Hi Paul
Long time not seen your Pictures
Please keep posting , I like to see your pictures from your audio gear and from other head fi friends as well.
Pictures speak more than thousand words , because of my limitation of English
It is more interesting than I write in broken English .

My goal to share pictures is that my friend can decide which ones from my set up is pass to them.
And can save Money .

Please don't follow my bad habit to buy many portable gear

My wife complain :
Why you don't buy gold instead gold cable , if you need money you sell your gold you can get fresh money

Cheers

But if you really are typing this stuff in English than that means you have better grammar than all the people in public housing where I work... Sad part is that I'm in the USA lol

Nice!  Who needs a stack?

 

[snapple10]

thanks, when I am moving around I make it as light as possible but you have to admit the
stack has its place, plan on adding amp soon

Personally, I've never felt the need to add an amp to my DX100...

Sadly, I'm afraid the iPod Nano 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G won't fit into that case.

Nevertheless, thank you for the thorough instructions on how to leave the "Out" port clear. I was getting rather worried that there was no entry point to the amp for my interconnect.

You are correct, but to be clear, that's not what I mean when I said that "you can swap out mulitiple iPod Nano's". What I meant was that since 7th Gen iPod Nano's have small space size in nature, once you use up all the space on one 7th Gen Nano, you can swap out a 7th Gen Nano that doesn't have music you want with one that does. It's pretty easy to fill up a 16GB Nano with AAC 256bit files, so in most cases, you'd need an additional Nano, or maybe you're Nano dies and needs to be repaired or replaced, which ever the case, my set up compliments those situations  But like I said above the corresponding picture, it's not advisable if you don't want the set up to be permanent. My set up is clutter free of slip mats and thick rubber bands, but comes at the cost of restricting the set up to 7th Gen iPod Nano's. I personally love it so far. It's just so convenient and portable.
 
This is the first time I've seen anyone do this, so naturally, I'm expecting this method to meet much criticism and speculation. But I stand by it, so I'm willing to answer those criticisms
