I have a different view and find UHA-4 to be a much better amp then D-ZERO.

If you wanna even take it to another rlevel MRiNiCK I suggest you opt for the UHA6 MKII with OP-Amp 8610 (the UHA4 comes with this stock). Believe me owning both of them the MKII is clearly that much better than the 4 . It's worth the extra money.

I think it is. It's about the same size as the UHA4 but just very slightly thicker. But the sound quality upgrade you get over the 4 is very much worth the extra difference in price. What will you be using it with though?

I thought it came with 209 standard? Unless Nick went back to 8610 ? He use to charge an extra $10.00 I think for the upgrade over 209.

Hey guys,

I love this amp, perfect size, sound and price but usb connection has stopped working after all these years and now I am in need of new portable amp. Should I go with this again or there are new devices i look through?

You an do as the poster above or even consider upgrading to the UHA6 MKII which is a better sounding amp IMO.

Does anyone both a UHA-4 and a UHA-6S mkII that they would be willing to snap a couple of photos of for the sake of size comparison?

 

[lee730]

Going from memory they both are similar in overall size (length & width) with the UHA4 being about half the thickness of the UHA6. Both are quite portable IMO with the UHA4 being the most portable. In terms of sound the UHA6 MKII is a noticeable improvement IMO and well worth the price premium. Now if you need very fine volume attenuation for lower volume listening without channel imbalance (ideal for sensitive IEMs) then the UHA4 may be more suited to your needs. This is more so of an issue if you are using sources with a powerful LO which can then lead to channel imbalance on the MKII model. But at the same time you can request for a lower gain setting which should mitigate this issue (if any).

Thanks for the comments! I'm having severe problems with channel imbalance on my CIEM's, so I appreciate your thought on that too.
