Anyone experiencing this issue? I'm about to buy one but 200 eur is a lot for me... it better be a good, reliable choice...

It will be used to power the following headphones:
-Mylar X3 (just got them today and am very pleased)
-Sony CD3000
-Koss Portapro

Sources will be my desktop PC and a laptop... currently both have crap on-board soundcards (AC97 and nforce4)...

You won't regret it if you buy the Move and give it to your son.

How about some of the corda move owner, give us a review of the move with your reference headphones? Help out the community or help those who are on the edge about this amp.

I was planning on giving him the Xenos

It's too late for me now... I just ordered them. Dr. Jan Meier replied too quickly to my email

I have now joined the "waiting for my parcel and will then report" group. Meanwhile I'll be burning the Crossroads Mylar 3 with my good old PC inboard AC97 output.. yuck.

Being in Lisbon I expect to get it from Germany during the next week... then let's see how it behaves with my 2 PCs as source (all I have right now) and the headphones I mentioned.

^^ Yeha, he replied too fast for me....so I went ahead and bought one...can't wait on it's arrival...I REALLY need a good HP amp...I'm amp and DAC-less!!!!

 

[zatara]

Yeah me too mines on the way. I need a good HP Amp/USB Dac for work to use with my HD25-1's.

 

[Computerstud]

BTW, the move DAC is not good for movies since it only does 44.1 (16bit) and 48 (16bit) not 192 (24bit). That one comment made by onedigit about the computer interference is really making me think twice about getting this as a DAC. I still have my Audigy 2 zs notebook (great for movies and good for music) for movies.

 

[Skylab]

What movie soundtrack has ever been done in 192/24, other than the few HD-DVD/Blu-Ray discs that are out?

True enough. Do you know of a portable amp/DAC combo thats battery powered and does have a > 48 bit DAC? If its SQ is on par I'd like to audition it. Name/link to website is appreciated. Thanks!

 

[Computerstud]

I do not know of such a beast. I believe that most of these DAC are more music oriented (44.1 bit). I really want to get the corda move but $235 is alot of money for a newb like myself.
I would really like to hear from other users who are using the move dac whether they experience the computer interference that onedigit experienced.

If you're willing to break down and take USB power instead, then how about the Bloat from Hippo Hifi? Much better dac capabilities (doesn't use the cheap dac in a usb receiver chip, but rather a proper 24 bit, choice of opamps. I'm breaking one in now, but unfortunately have a QC problem possibly due to shipping damage (left channel occasionally drops, Hippo Hifi has agreed to repair or replace, of course) that may delay me from being able to do a proper review as soon as I'd like, but so far results are positive. Very clean. Far prefer it to my old Echo Indigo.

I have also ordered a corda move it will be here next week. I am interested in buying a Goldring Dr150. Will it sound good with corda move? Skylab I think you have also tested your dr150s with your corda move. Can you write your impressions, will this combination sound good? Does dr150 benefit from an amplification?

 

[Skylab]

Will have to listen to that combo this weekend sometime. Haven't yet.

Thank you
