The barrel plug is not a standard size. Can you solder wires (2 to be precise)? If you can, order parts on a website, heat up he soldering iron and in 5 minutes you'll have a properly terminated power supply.

I think there is plenty of power in high gain mode for the K701’s. You can definitely do some damage.

I didn’t say static. I said I could hear some computer noise in high gain, high current mode (a slight buzzing sound when moving the mouse around). Does anyone else hear that? Can anyone recommend a solution?

If you don't want to solder then Radioshack might be your friend. Their "H" adaptaplug fits well with MOVE. If you want to buy a PS from them, ask the staff to measure the output voltage first (I think they are willing to...) because some of their 12V PS actually has a 13+ V output voltage, even it's marked "regulated".

Tried the USB dac. Note book recognizes it. However when playing music I get no sound out of the Move. What am i doing wrong? I'm running Windows XP.

You probably need to restart the software so it recognizes the output hardware. What software did you use?

Nobody has found a regulated 12v power supply that really is 12v with the proper sized barrel plug. Radioshack has adapters that have detachable ends, but the problem is people measure them and they aren't 12v.

You can buy one at Radioshack and try it out (and even measure the output with a multimeter if you have one). I'm not going to be the one to recommend it as a safe, 100% workable system and then have people ticked off because it damaged an amp. Nor am I going to spend any of my money to find out if it works. IMO, Archer parts and quality is an oxymoron.

Sooo, it's the best route I know of until someone finds a better supplier. I've got a solution that works for me, and I spent too much time looking for them to begin with to want to continue looking.

Foobar2000. I did restart the SW. No luck. Same with Mediaplayer

In Preferences->Playback->output did you select your USB device as the output device?

The Move will handle Yuin PK1's without a problem with USB power, but you may see some additional benefit up to 7.5 V input.
