Nick and I corresponded a bit through PM, and I sent my amp to him for service. He found a chip that needs to be replaced on my much-used (and possibly somewhat abused) amp. Great customer service, and I'm looking forward to having my baby back!

Has anyone found that OTG digital audio only works with the charge switch on? I'm interested in trying the sound with my Galaxy S4, but charging the Leckerton from my phone will kill the battery awfully quickly.   I'm running Android 5.0.1, if that helps at all. TIA!

After a few more days I'm completely enthralled with the ADA4627. I find them more revealing, including at the low end. My stock opamps are the 8610. Maybe I'll try some of the other options someday, but for now I'm loving these.

I've been away from the forum for most of this year, as I bought some IEMs in September and then went back to school. With one set of closed headphones, one open, the IEMs, and my Leckerton amp I haven't been jonesing for any new gear and couldn't really afford any anyway. I'm stopping by today...

I'm removing my post because I spent a bit more time searching and found a bajillion threads for IEMs for Grado lovers. Sorry to duplicate a well-worn subject. I was never here...  

Have fun this weekend! I really wish I could come and join you. I hope some of you will consider coming to Edmonton if we get something going up here.

Darn, I have a work thing that weekend (in Jasper, so not that bad). Hopefully we can get an Edmonton meet going for this winter.

I'm not sure how this works as I'm pretty new. If I have a friend or two who are into headphones and they have something to bring can I invite them? Do they need to be on Head-fi to attend?

I may need to come down from Edmonton too. I just saw this thread, so I don't know how likely it is, but if I can I probably will.   I would be bringing my Grado 325is and Leckerton UHA-6S MII (with OPA 8610). I might be able to borrow a couple goodies as well.   I'll let you know if I'm...

I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but does the X3 support the building of custom playlists?  

Quote: I would be tempted to try Bill P's solution. At minimal cost you can convert your USB output to optical and use the optical input on the Leckerton. Look back at his posts and you'll find it. I haven't heard it myself, but in your position and for the price I would certainly try it out.

Lately I'm having trouble leaving for work on time because I'm loving my 325is w/ Leckerton UHA-6mkII through optical. I keep thinking just one more song :)

That's a really intriguing setup, Bill-P. After your previous post about optical I went out and bought an optical cable to work with my iMac, and while I haven't plugged the USB back in yet for comparison, I think this is the best sound I've heard from my rig. It's definitely fuller bodied than...

FWIW, the HE-500/Leckerton pairing got a brief mention in the Innerfidelity review:   http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/leckerton-uha-6s-mkii-portable-headphone-amplifier-page-2  

At least try the tape mod. It's the easiest thing in the world and also completely reversible if you don't like it.
