Nope. You have to buy it through his website. Leckertonaudio.com. He accepts paypal.

BTW, have anyone tried uha-6s with something like M2TECH HiFace? I wonder how would the DAC part sound with that.

I'm sold either way, though. Better start saving.

Guys, do any of you have an odac and a uha-6s mkii, I really need to know if the odac is better than the cirrus DAC in the uha-6s mkii or not...

Zach I'd say don't even bother. If you even intend on upgrading don't look lower than the DACport LX. You are just wasting your time otherwise making side-grades or a menial upgrade.

No odac it is then, what's the best usb powered or battery powered (can use it on the go) DAC on the market, Because I plan on building a rig with a galaxy note 2 with a otg usb connecting to a Dac and then the dac connecting to my uha-6s mkii.

Maybe the ALO solo? I figure if you are intending on going this route make it worth your while and go for a clear upgrade.

Isn't that only for iDevices? Or can you use that with galaxy s3 and note 2?

Very dissapointed with uha-6s mkii's dac, to my ears, the j3 with bbe enhancements sounds better as a source, the cirrus DAC smoothed over too many details too...angry_face.gif but the amp section is still wonderful L3000.gif

I'm planning on using this with my international sgs3 and vsonic gr07 bass editions.
I know it's confirmed working with the sgs3, and I've read that the dac portion is not as good as the amp portion.
But can someone with an sgs3 give impressions on how improved it is from stock.
Tia.

if buying opamps, do I need to get a bypass cap too?

No just make sure you purchase the Op-Amps in pairs and that they match the board. Contact Nick if you have any questions (Leckerton Audio).

Can anyone compare the  Leckerton UHA-6S MKII to:

 

1.  iBasso Warbler P4 ?

 

2.  JDSLabs C421 AD8620, or any other opamp.

 

I own the iBasso P4, but am suffering from Gear Acquisition Syndrome and want to understand the differences among these three portable amps.

 

thank you,

 

-Mo.

I can't give you a comparison to those amps but can tell you the UHA6 MKII scales very well and is comparable to amps double it's price range and even beats some of those very amps in performance and sound quality. The Amp section is the biggest point on the unit while the DAC section is more of a plus than anything else.
