100+ Head-Fier
As a new "boy" (!) to this excellent site (and it's reassuring to know there are other people in the world who share my interest), I was hoping to get some opinions on a change of portable amp. I find amps generally aren't so easy to come by in the UK.
I have an 80gb iPod 5.5, ALO Cotton dock, Headroom Total Airhead (recent) and UE Triple.Fi 10s (SE). I recently started reripping my music to ALAC (previously EAC + Lame extreme), so I suspect I'll be looking at 160gb Classic soon. In the mean time, with increased enthusiasm fuelled mainly by Head-Fi, I would like to replace my portable amp.
One that appeals is the Corda Move. Based on various reviews (esp. Skylab's - thanks) and price to the UK this seems attractive, although at the moment I can't foresee any need for the DAC. I'm not overly concerned about size, but would like something with enough juice to power my Beyer DT990s as well.
Do you think I'll notice an improvement from the Airhead?
I appreciate any views/recommendations etc.
Thanks.
Tony
