No details yet! Sorry! Cheers Jan

Head-fi-ers, get your wallets ready

Wow, it seems like it was just yesterday that the Move was released!

 

[iozz]

More portable than the Move? It will be very small

From the name it sounds like it's a new celebratory Head-Fi special, like the Headfive.

Wonder if he's shooting for Tomahawk size. Now THAT would be interesting indeed.

 

[Zorander]

That name sounds funny...

Jan seems to be a very busy guy, what with the new Move, the not yet completely announced Corda Cantate and now this!

This could be the new amp only portable from Meier... the market is getting very intresting.

Shouldn't that amp be called the Cantata (if titled in English) or the Kantate (if in German)? Since the majority of his amps aren't named in Italian, Cantate reads like a misspelling.

It's the international version perhaps? A little bit of this and a little bit of that, with an American pronounciation to finish it off!

As the name implies, I think the headsix would be a budget amp as the headfive was so (I have headfive #219).
Headfive was based on his prior HA-1 II, so I am speculating the headsix would be based on his porta corda. but has less price.
Or another thought is, it is a Move without USB DAC. But I think this is less likely..
Anyway, I am looking forward to hear the announcement of headsix

Scrypt, this is crazy sounding I know, but in a dream last night at a Tapas bar celebrating the release of a new line of designer shoes, I noted that one pair of shoes was designed by you (yes it had your real name, but obviously it was dream-created and I've forgotten it, but no worries it was quite fantastic) and my wife and I were admiring it (they were dark brown wingtips) when a sophisticated lady of the dark Mediterranean persuasion caught our eye and walked over. She asked us if we liked the shoes, which we did, and she asked if we knew the designer. I mentioned that I did, and she mentioned that she was a close friend of yours and asked my name. Well at this point there was no backing out of the fact that I only knew you from Head-fi, so I informed her of that caveat. As my wife's eyes started to roll, your dream friend commiserated with my wife, so at least I knew that you shared this side passion with your upper crust friends.

Cantate reads like French

 

[SysteX]

Oh. Headsix? I don't know, it just sounds a little cheesy.

Did you consider it might be Dutch spelling?
