The Headsix, according to Jan, uses the same op-amps as the Move, and my guess is the circuit is a simplified version of the Move's. However Jan did say that the Headsix will have no high-current mode , and the Move sounds better in high-current mode IMO.
That said, it's quite likely that the Headsix is going to sound fantastic.

Skylab, how does the Move in low current mode rank on your list then?

The difference between low current and high current mode is primarily a question of the maximum power the amp can deliver into various loads. The actual sound signature of the amp should remain essentially the same. Of course there will be less available headroom in low current mode and therefore a difference in the quality of the sound may be perceivable, particularly with high impedance headphones under battery power. That being said, the HEADSIX is still capable of providing plenty of power and as a small portable headphone amplifier with typically low impedance street cans, should be the bargain of the century.

Do you think my e500s will sound great with it?

Seem like a GREAT deal since the DAC portion of the Move is said to suck anyway! That is super sweet. If i hadnt bought a D1 lately i would have taken one for sure. The 15$ contribution to head-fi is also very encouraging. Kudos Dr.Meier!

Couldn't help myself and paypal'd the money. Jan promptly emailed back after transaction was completed, stating that it'll take 10 days to arrive. And also, he would like an email reply to see when I receive the amp--that was different--it gives me the impression that he actually cares about each sale.
