I narrowed it down to  uha-6s.mkii  and  Fiio e17 as highest end portable warm sound quality headphone amp/dac in similar price range .' has anybody listened to both and willing to share comparison experience ?

will this work with my ipod classic 160gb? can i use my fiio L9 cable on this? will it bypass my ipod internal dac as well as internal amp?

As some of you may or may not know Leckerton has been sitting quietly with no product being shipped for the last few weeks. Speculation has ranged from the business owner temporarily stopping production due to a big move to another city to new products being released. Tonight upon checking the...

The thread title explains it all.  Any people willing to post their verdicts through A/B testing or any impressions?

I'm only going to be using the iPhone 5 to play my music, which means I'd have to buy the 30 pin to lightning converter to use it with a LOD connector with a Fiio device.    Is the DAC on the converter any good when combined with something like an E11? Is it worth getting?   What about...

Can I get suggestions for affordable ($0-400?) desktop amps for sensitive headphones? (16-32 ohms, 100-110 db SPL, let's say)   So, it must have less than 1 ohm output impedance, must be solid state, must deliver high current, must have low gain, must have RCA input, and the hardest point to...

I appreciate all the hard work in writing reviews/photographings iems. Especially kunlun and project86. Thanks for your time + words! Many others that I have not named as well...   Anyways, I have 8.a's on the way. They will be my first quality pair of iems and I was wondering about grabbing...

Hey guys so I was looking to replace the Fiio E11 with a better amp. I think it is a great amp but there are a few things Id like improved with a better amp:   1) Better instrument separation (not necessarily wider soundstage but it would be a good benefit and might be necessary) 2) Better...

Hi all,   I'm very new to this (hi-fi headphones & gear), but for a long time have been into hi-fi stereo music.   I was lucky enough to receive a pair of B&W P5's as a gift from my girl!... (Now she's gonna have to put up with it becuase I won't be talking much to her anymore! ha!)  ...

Hey Everybody! Welcome to the most unprofessional and unorganized review/impressions thread in all of Head-Fi. It's Friday night, so I've decided to give this a shot and try to write some sort of review (I'm a freakin party animal, I know, right?) This is my first time doing something like this...

Looking for an AMP or DAC/AMP that can be transported in a backpack to and from school.  Prefer battery or USB powered, don't want to have to plug into a wall. Powerful enough for the AKG K271s or K702s (if there is such a beast) Price below 300. That's as much as my wallet can spare at...

I own and enjoy the DACport but recently bought phones with a dedicated amp (Stax), so am thinking about getting an LX, seing as it's purported to sound better. But when I spoke to David at Centrance, he mentioned that the LX is basically a Dacport with the potentiometer gone and the volume...

I'm looking for an amp for my DT990 Pro 250ohms. As long as it's 200 or under, maybe a tad more, and I'd prefer portable unless there's something non portable that's great for the price. I'm mostly looking for an AMP/DAC combo so it's all in one package and I don't have to buy anything else. So...

I'm looking to get away from using the onboard soundcard an my PC and also from the horrible tinny speakers in my laptop. I'm thinking the best route to go would be would be a USB amp/DAC since i would be able to use the DAC to take an output from either my PC or laptop to my amp or use it as a...

????????   what did you think of it? what does it do to the drive capabilities?

Was wondering what is the cream of the crop when it comes to portable headphone amps. I have sennheiser hd280 pro, hd 595 and hd 650. Usually dont take them outside the house but i just bought the cowon j3. I have read a lot about fiio e11 and e17. I also seen the electric avenue pa2v2 ranked at...

Hi Head-Fi,   I saw this nifty old CD player (NEC Multipsin 6x) which I've done some research on it and it seems like a really cheap introduction into a audiophile grade setup. And before you say I don't need this as a source, I realize this, but I don't want to be tethered to my 3x3x1.5 foot...

Hello, I am looking for a much needed amp for the J3. I do not care about what pleases my ears, I am looking for an amp that will produce the sound as true to the original performance as possible (I hate EQ). I want a portable headphone amplifier that will redirect the signal and fix the...

My fiio e7 portable amp/dac stopped functioning yesterday after only a few months of use (will no longer power on, even after reset). Am i best purchasing another fiio e7 (amazons refunding me as they don't have stock) or is there a better portable amp/dac to go with my Denon ah-d2000...

Mainly interested in the DAC capabilities of the Leckerton - anyone tried it with movies ? I like this part of the marketing blurb for the 6S:   This allows the UHA-6S to be used as a low-noise DAC/preamp into a line input such as an A/V receiver.   I have no doubt that there is an A/V...

I'm very interested in this amp, but there isn't a whole lot of feedback on it.   Please post your experiences and comparisons to other current competitors.   Review here but not terribly current: http://www.head-fi.org/t/508076/review-leckerton-audio-uha-6s-portable-amp-dac  ...

Hey guys, I currently own a pair of ATH-M50 cans.  I have a Realtek ALC1200 HD audio soundcard but i'm looking to move the sound route out of the inside of my computer and just generally get some better quality.  There's a noticeable crackling sound on the super super deep bass.  like around the...

Hey, I admit that we have a ways to go, but it will be interesting to update this from time to time. The first 4 months of the year raced by in a flurry of new amp releases from iBasso and others, but things seem to have settled down.   My personal vote is for the Leckerton UHA-4, although...

This week I purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD25 1-II, so now I'm looking for a portable amp to pair with them.   The amps/dac's I have been looking into are: iBasso D2+, Leckerton UHA-4 Slimline, Total Bithead It will be paired with my Sansa Clip+, Ipod Classic or my work computer.  ...

  I’ve been on this website for a little while and have read many of your guys’ portable amp reviews and decided after purchasing my own, it was time to give back to the community with a review of my own. *Note, that I have the Leckerton UHA-6 and not the UHA-6S which has a bunch of bells...
