Hi everyone, 
I just paid for a Stepdance (1st), and planning to buy a 15V adapter, I understand that 1A will suffice, but will 2A work just fine? Thanks

That's fine. Just remember it must be regulated.

Not likely, as it doesn't say it is regulated.
 
While it is much more expensive, I'll recommend iFi iPower 15V instead as it is a very solid power supply.

Ok, I will check that out, many thanks, ClieOS

Correction, I said it sounded sublime. that isn't the same as "the best amp for"

 
"...his best amp yet" is already impressive.  
 
The Soul is very interesting!

Stepdance came in 5 minutes ago, I'm listening to it with er4s, source is Chord Mojo, it gave me goose bumps...

I'm using an old Meier Corda 2Move (like the 3Move with an inferior construction) with an ER-4 as well and it's my favorite combination by far. So I'm wondering if someone has upgraded from the older amps to the new Meier's amps, does it worth the investment?

Hi rggz
The 2Move and 3Move have built in DAC. The Quickstep is amplifier only. The PCStep could be an alternative to the 2Move. I once had the 2Move and 3Move as well and the bass is a bit more pronounced in them than it is in the Quickstep. So to my ears the 2Move was a better companion to the ER-4S which I also used back then. I just sold ny old 3Move last year but I still enjoyed the sound when used with bright headphones. I think you should keep the 2Move if you intend to use it with ER-4 only but if you plan to get other full size headphones you might like the cleaner sound from the Quickstep.

Received a Stepdance (1) on Friday.
Using my iMod ipod with it.
 
Smooth. I really like the sound.
All seems in proportion.

A nice set that sounds great with a lot of headphones.

Yes you did, I stand corrected.
Sadly their is no eta on the new amp/dad. For now i just remain idle to be moved into the sublime.

For those who are interested, I used to run iMod to quickstep and it sounded good, but my iMod died on me and I bought an xduoo x3 to pair up with the quickstep and it really sounds phenomenal. I usually run the tralucent 1p2 out of it, but sometimes use the all aluminum magnum v4s, and the sound is just nice and crisp, very detailed

That said, I think I'm partial to bright headphones. Phones where people find bright or even sibilant are the phones I prefer. So ymmv.

Warning too as the navigation on the x3 is horrible and has to be rockboxed. The battery life on that thing sucks and it freezes quite frequently as well.

But man, for a playe that could be had for $75 plus costs of selling cards, it's a crazy good deal.

So, a week in with the Stepdance.
Have been hearing things I hadn't heard before on some tracks.
It's fabulous when this happens with an upgrade.
 
Next to arrive is an Astell&Kern RWAK100s.
I'm hoping this is another step up...
