My headsix is still burning in. But I also have the pcmkIII and I will post my impressions when the headsix is fully burned in and I had time to compare the two.

They just didn't have headphones back then to know what they were missing.  |
Too right! 
Nonetheless, I must note that you're currently sitting on post # 666!

Thanks a ton, eagerly waiting for your thoughts. Think you'll put them here or in a new thread?

Ooh, mines arrived. It's tiny... I don't have any 9v batteries though.
I will try it tomorrow.

A ghetto head-fier would look for a smoke alarm.

does this amp pair well with the 3g nano? I'm afraid the amp will be too long.
Also, where are the impressions? I can't WAIT till my silver one comes sometime this week.

I ordered mine for use with Sumo. Width is the same and additional length will allow for an extra Velcro to secure the dock connector.
Can't wait for mine too. Jan shipped it last Monday but our post is soooo sloooow!

Yup, I tried that one, and was very confused. My smoke alarms are wired to the mains 
Just have to say I'm very impressed with Jan's service and would like to say thanks again.

I just received mine and I have to tell you that straight out of the box the sound is great! Warm, punchy and definitely the Meier sig. I can't wait to burn it in. I sold my Move because I never used the DAC and it was just a bit too big and heavy for my portable needs. The Headsix is right on par!
You did it again Jan.....Thanks!

Now, please give us a hint if the HeadSix is any different than the Move in SQ.

Tough one since the Move was totally burned in and this is fresh. They sound very similar with the sweet, smooth highs and mids. Right now, the Move had a tad more low punch than the Headsix, but again, I think with time that will change. I can't wait for complete burn-in.
I will say that I've been using my Tomahawk for weeks now and the Headsix made me go "Wow" with the first notes. After some thorough back and forth comparisons, I'll probably end up selling my Tomahawk. I just love the Meier sound, so part of it is personal sig preference.
I'll keep everyone posted once the burn is complete.

It's going to be tough for you to catch-up, because I found my Move (Your ex) is still improving with Pink noise after each day. I'm not sure it does, or just me having more appreciation each day?
