They are still available in both finishes. I just ordered and paid for one last night. Jan is fast with the email. If only I'd known about the battery!

That solved my problem quite quickly.
Thanks for the awesome help

Hi guys, first I want to ask what are the differences between the Headsix and the CORDA XXS, because the second appears to be smaller and ligher. I don`t really know much about amps, I`m not a technician.
And secondly if I couple a Headsix or a Corda XXS with my 45 Ohm Numarks will there be a significant increase in the volume, because my player is a bit quiet. Also will the amp resolve the distortion of highs, that occurs when listening to heavier music with metal/rock EQ settings? Thanks.

The Headsix and XXS are the same. (One is not ugly, the other one is ugly.)

Yes, the amp will most definitively provide higher volumes for your phones, especially in high-gain mode. What player do you have?

 

[substance90]

My player is a Cowon A3 60Gb, if the amp plays louder AND without the nasty sound distortions, then it`s a nice purchase indeed.

Alright, I use a Cowon D2, and the amp fixes the usual shortcomings pretty well (bass roll-off, background hiss, channel separation).

 

[substance90]

Ok, then I`ll be getting a Corda XXS the moment I have the money

Still I have to buy some better headphones, too. I mean it`s weird when your amp is 2 times more expensive than your phones.
Till what ohms can the XXS or Headsix hold on?

Sorry, if this has been addressed already. How does the Headsix compare in sound to the 2move? Besides the DAC and the crossfeed, what would drive one to purchase the 2move over the headsix. Thanks.

Thank you for the link!! Anyone else have listening experience with both the Headsix/XXS and the move/2move?

just have to say i bought one used and it is really an amazing little amp. For one thing, you really don't get how small it is in the pics it looks more slick in person. It also synergizes really well with my Ety ER-4s out of the lineout of my cowon x5l, I just can't believe it sounds this good out of a portable amp.

Try the phones-out, and you'll be in for a surprise...

(Since the X5's line-out is nothing short of awful sounding.)

thanks I'll try that, I know there's some rolloff and stuff for the lineout, i usually don't like amping something that's amped but sounds like it's worth the listen.
