My little portable headphone streamer stack

I've always loved Chord Mojo's concept especially paired with the Poly streamer, but NOT the price. I often spend time in the backyard and listen to music but I don't have proper elemental protection. I really love my Hifiman HE-6's but they're power hogs beyond the capacity of my mobile device, and I don't like cables dangling from my phone anyways. So I put together myself a mini streamer stack consisting of a Wiim Mini Audioengine D1 and 20,000mAh battery put together by good ol' silicone bands:

In hand for scale and the dark side of cable management:

Along with the intended pair of cans:

The physical volume control knob in a stack this size is a joy to use.

That's it, just wanted share is all.
 
Never seen the HE6 used portably. Kudos.
 
I'll never not think of this when I see such stacks :p

But like you say, for a back yard set up for power hungry cans, what you have does the job.

Mine is a Samung S21android phone + a Fiio Q3.
At least I can put it in my pocket :)
 
I sometimes use the Foobar 2000 app on my Motorola Android smartphone to stream music from my media server via UPnP protocol. The smartphone is connected to a Topping E30 DAC and that is consequently connected to my Topping L30 headphone amplifier. I don't use it portable but with an external battery like you have, that would be possible.
