latch meaning? protrusions or the faceplate themselves?

Well, here's the quick'n'dirty way - just squeeze the thin latches with some pliers (while pressing down on the opposite latch with your fingers). You might scratch the aluminum if you're not careful, but it works 100%.

Just sent a message. Hope there still are some.
What are people's impression of the amp?
EDIT: Saw a 2nd hand one of these for sale, but was missing the screwdriver. Is it very important? And If it is, where can I get a replacement?

It is just a small Philips screwdriver. You can buy one in any hardware store.
The amplifier is very good. It drives my DT 880 well although not as loud as a desktop amplifier.
My only gripe is the scratchy sound that you may hear when you turn the volume up/down, but it is noisless otherwise.

It's actually good that the tiny, sub-par screw driver is missing. It would only mangle the screws, not open them. Better use a quality screw driver to prevent any damage.

Just ordered a silver. Cant wait for it to get here...
Someone was asking about rechargeable batteries and if there's any recommended by Dr Meier. I was interested too, so I asked him when I purchased the Headsix:
He doesn't have a recommendation of any brand  , but warned me that some rechargeables can be too big.

Do not attempt to use the included screwdriver. It damaged the screw to the point I nearly couldn't remove the screw. The included screwdriver does not fit the screw well, and damages it.

Right than.
Anybody here got a headsix that they want to sell? :P $185 is just a bit out of my reach at the moment.

How does the headsix compare to, say a Xin supermini3 or Corda Move?

I have a Headsix - and I love it! The synergy with Beyerdynamic DT-880 is absolutely excellent!
