The Corda MOVE certainly synergises well with the HD580s - this is my work setup and my HD580s have never sounded as good as this, particularly with 12V.

My track record in chronological order:
a900>hd650>akg701>hd650>(+)akg701>dt880>dt990>hd58 0
the HD650>K701 move was because i thought the hd650 was really really dark, but i had a corda headfive and a lite dac-ah in the mix. dac-ah + head5 + hd650 = overwhelmingly warm. i used the dac-ah + head5 combo up until i got my dt990.
K701>HD650 was because the k701s bored me. reminded me how much i missed the more musical nature of the hd650 (read: bass).
HD650+K701>DT880 was because the hd650s were getting on my nerves again (see above reason) and i wanted a more neutral can that didn't drown me in midbass. the k701s bored me again. time to explore new camps...
DT880>DT990 was because the dt880's lack of bass started to annoy me. hello DT990
DT990>HD580 was because the "V"-equalizer-like-nature of the DT990 really bugged me. HD580 was relaxed, polite, not bass shy, not shrill like the dt990, and looks damn cool w/ a hd600 grill and 650 cable. corda move + modded hd580 is a winner for me right now.
that's if i don't get bored or annoyed by them anytime soon.
that bass is starting to sound a tad flabby to me...
