Agreed; I'm not a portability seeker myself. And if I'm spending money on audio components I usually want to see size and mass commensurate with its price! But some folks highly value portability, like my friend who has Sennhseiser Orpheus/Aristaeus and Stax 009 / DIY T2 setups at home (plus many more), but loves the Utopia for how ridiculously well it does driven by good portable sources/amps (of course he has the gold digital Walkman!).
