Amps for an ipod?

So, I'm going to be going down greatly in size. HD280+big Pimeta+NJB3 are going to have to go I'm afraid (though I'll still keep the 280 around for flights). Two components are definite- EM9r clipons from AT and an ipod of some variety (partially depends on what goes on with the one I'm trying to buy right now). So, I'm looking at an amp, to be driven out of a lineout (most likely from the Sik Ram Din, whcih seems to have more positive opinions than the PocketDock):

Xin Supermicro (very small, not currently available)
Xin Supermini (for cheap)/macro (expensive)
Zemo's Z-audio Mu
Others?

Basically, the key is that I want something that I can carry in my pocket with ipod and clipons. I'm worried that the Mu/Supermacro are too thick- basically, we're talking a pair of Dockers here. Anyone have experience with any of the above and want to give an opinion?

Well, I think you know which I'll reccomend! No one aside from myself and a few people around me have heard the mu just yet, but it's a great amp. Same size as the SuperMacro, I believe (uses the smallest hammond enclosure) and offers some serious performance. On par with a pimeta, from what I gather. If the smallest hammond is still too big, then go for the supermicro...I doubt you'd find even a cmoy smaller than this thing.

The supermini/micro/macro are the best thing around when it comes to tiny yet good amps IMO, as I havent heard Z's new amps yet.
