500+ Head-Fier
I currently own a Meier-Audio Corda Move, and I have owned a current model Total Airhead and have also owned a Meier Porta Corda III. I like HeadRoom's crossfeed better than Meier-Audio's due to the more expansive soundstage it offers, but I didn't like the sound quality of the Airhead all that much. I'm also dissatisfied with my current amp, the Move, since it doesn't have the airiness that the PCIII had, and has a mediocre DAC in it. I am looking towards trying another HeadRoom amp, but I'm not quite sure about the sound of the Portable Micro, since it uses the same output stage opamp as the Airhead did, (although a different opamp in the other stages). I guess my question is: Does the Portable Micro have a considerably more refined sound than the current model Total Airhead, or do I need to look towards a more expensive HeadRoom amplifier to get the sound I want. I currently own Sennheiser HD580 headphones (with an HD650 stock cable) and Sennheiser HD595 headphones. I am looking towards getting a replacement pair of AKG K601's, (don't ask what happened to my last pair), and the only amp I have owned that sufficiently powered the AKG's was the Corda Move. I would like to save up for a portable amp to replace the Move that has a high quality DAC in it as well, and the 2007 Portable Micro seems like it would fit the bill. Since I have yet to hear anyone comment on its sound quality, I'm just wondering if it will have sufficient transparency for semi-critical to critical listening.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
