System to take on the road

Well, it's time to pack up the main rig and put it in storage. Just got a job overseas and it looks like I'll be on the road most of the time. Still I can't live without my music. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced portable system that I can pack in a single suitcase and haul around with me. I figure I could get some micro mini monitors, a little tube amp and a micromega cd player and have a decent sounding little rig that I can set up in my hotel rooms and enjoy? Others have suggested a good headphone amp...that's possible, but I like to have music that everyone in the room can enjoy as well. I'll look forward to your ideas.

Nice sound (expensive too): Integrated amp (audio refinement or SF Integrated) + Sonus Faber speakers. They can fit into reasonable size box, though not tiny but acceptable for an apartment. Some DAC is small too, like P3. This como gives you good sound, but not cheap.

If sound is not that critical, you can buy Japan table stuff basically everywhere on the world. Don't bother to carry it on airplane.

How about a $400 Creek integrated, the B&W 302's (I think that's the model -- they list for about $250) and a used Rega Planet for about $400. That would be a relatively light, small, and musical system.
