Anybody ever use the swiss Army backpack that lets you hook up your DAP inside the bag and routes the connection to a plug on one of the shoulder straps? I'm wondering if it will degrade quality at all? It seems like a great way to use an amp since you could just keep your whole setup inside the bag . Either way since I already have it, I'll give it a try with my ZVM and Phonak PFE.

Some backpacks have a hole with a rubber grommit for your headphone cable. Mine does.

That should not affect the sound at all unless you are using Ety's with lots of micro-phonics. My PFEs don't have any issue with the cord rubbing the backpack. I have only used it that way a couple of times, but it is convenient having the backpack hold the cable internally.

So I tried to use it and either the port is a total POS or the size is too big because my port would not stay in there. Thoughts?

Maybe pick up one of HeadRoom's bags that is designed to hold a portable system?

I would except I also need a laptop bag. I'll check out their offerings.

I see that you have a ZVM, but if someone has an iPod and are interested in this kind of bag, they should check out the iPack line. It has a pocket for your player, with both a dock connector and a 3.5 plug, and can control volume and track with buttons on the strap. I guess you could use you ZVM w/o using the volume and track functions. They have both a backpack and a messenger bag (which I use). They are really nice quality, good materials and sturdy construction. I've been using mine solid for a year, and it still looks new.

This could actually be good for me as I have an extra ipod lying around the house. I'll look in to it. Thanks
