I will get a shot of the internals up. There is a lot going on inside and some quality components.

Wow...good sized portable. Guess they needed the extra space for all the connectivity options. Despite the size.....very tempting for a new "team minimal" member like myself.


x2. i'm very tempted by this

That would be interesting. I'd also love to have the opportunity to A/B the iBasso and Move. I love everything about the Move....size, build.....if it only had either a coax or optical input it would be darned near perfect. Of course, the iBasso takes care of that but in a somewhat bigger package. Tough choice here.

Yes, it runs the HD650's just fine. I guess it depends on how loud you like it but louder than I would want to listen to music is how it does turned all the way up, with no distortion.

Pics comparing the size would be a nice start. Toss in a common reference point....the ipod for example...and you're off to a roaring start. I'd then focus on a direct comparison of the two using the same cans, source, connector, and a very familiar piece of music to your ears. If you're feeling froggy, a pic of the internals of the two would be of great interest.

Of course this one has a DAC with three different input types.

That's what makes it so exciting......and hard to believe. If the sonics are there, a portable with so many connection options at this price point would be an unbeatably great value. Again, Skylab or another vet of the portable scene needs to get their hands on both the Move and this gem for a head to head comparison.

Ditto that.

Thanks jamato8. Nice pics. Well, we've seen the unit in all its glory and now we've seen it naked. Guess all that's left is a thorough evaluation of how the dac and amp perform and how they stack up to the competition. Look forward to some detailed impressions.

Really? Is this just to provide a line-out from the dac or for amplifying to the headphones? It looks like it could be the latter, but I'm not sure and may be missing something there.
