The Predator is a very musical amp, excellent bass in extension, slam and reverb with great punch also. Sweet mids and non fatiguing highs. Also depth of soundstage is really impressive.

How does the Predator sound, I'm not too familiar with the Ray Samual amps.

 
I would say it is very all rounded. Punchy

does anyone know if the uha-6s mk2 is worth getting over the uha-4? I want the dac portion to be used at home with speakers (Fostex PM0.3) and the amp portion for my ipod touch with IEMs (Shure se215).
 
side note: I've read somewhere that because my active monitors have very low input sensitivity, it means I need a very weak input signal of 0.35V... So will the Leckertons be right for my Fostex monitors? Thanks so much... and sorry for the noob question.

The UHA-6 MK II has a better DAC and amplification section. If you are using them for both home and portable listening I think the extra cash is worth spending on the UHA-6 MK II

Resurrecting this old thread to offer an option for anyone doing research. I've managed to put together an ODAC/O2 within the same enclosure, making it a viable portable option for someone with a little DIY experience. Cost about $200 to put together and it sounds really solid (huge step up from an iPhone, anyway). 
 
Mainly listened to it with Oppo PM-3s, but I've also been able to power my he-560s reasonably well. 

Only major downside is that it still charges with a hefty wall wart (like a normal battery powered O2 amp) so you've gotta be feeling pretty dedicated to travel with it long term.
