Hi,
I have used my lambda pros portably for years using the SRD-P, and now an SRD-X as back-up. These use 8 C-cell batteries as a power source and have the "pro-only" 5-pin connector so you may choose which earspeaker you wish to use. The SRD-X has a standard 6-pin and a 5-pin. Yes the thing is heavy, you are carrying 8 C-cells with you. The batteries last about 60 hours. But, imagine sitting out in the middle of nowhere listening to a favorite CD (or DAT) on a pair of Stax Lambda Pros and you get the picture. I used to take mine to the gym, the market, on airplanes, anywhere I wanted. It is especially good in hotel rooms after long days of meetings.
I have heard my SRD-P with the Omega-II's at Yama's with very satisfactory results. I suggest that you look on the web or e-bay and try to get one of these devices used if you want to go portable.
Maybe I shouldn't have written this. I think gsferrari is to militant for team Stax.
(This is said purely in jest. I do not want to incur his wrath)
