However i am very pleased with the improvement over the headphone out of my Touch 3G, and there is even one area where the UHA-6 beats the Icon HDP, that is the midrange, which is clearer and slightly more prominent, giving vocals a more intimate presentation (i suspect the OPA209 is responsible for this based on what i read although i don't have the
default 8610 to compare).
Compared to the HO of the Touch, the sound stage is wider & deeper, overall SQ is very clear. More air and space, better separation. Switching back & forth, the HO of the Touch feels smaller and less dynamic.
The built quality is exceptional and has a very solid feel (and weight) to it. The volume pot truly gives a sense of refinement with just the right amount of resistance. Very smooth. I love the amp
