Ok, as you can see in my sig, I already own a Corda 2Move and a Corda XXS. Most of the time I use the 2Move with my laptop and the XXS on-the-go with my iPod Classic. I love their sound, but I also understand that there might be some others portable amps with better sounding and different sound signatures.
I'm decided to buy a Meier Cantate to pair with my Senns HD650, but my question is:
Would I have a better sounding with a DAC/AMP combo Pico, from Headamp, that will be worth the money it costs? I mean, it has a lot of advantages: it uses a Wolfson DAC chip, it´s very small and portable, very good looking, seems very durable, and the amp circuit is very different from what I'm used to listen( Meier's sound signature ) so I'm very interested to test it out. Or should I just get satisfied with my 2Move/XXS since the sound quality difference won't be that big? I know it's very subjective, but opinions are always good to listen( and read
)
Another option would be the RSA Predator, but many head-fi'ers rank the Pico one level above it, so I'm with this tiny amp in my head.
I have some guys in mind to answer this question from me, like skylab and jamato8( they have probably heard both
) but any Pico and Predator owners, feel free to post your opinions. I just want to start a polemic
and try to make my mind clear
