Never heard of the C4. The UHA4 competes with amps such as Pico Slim, TTVJ Slim, Arrow 4G.
Really loving it paired with my Studio V. No hiss at all with the combo and the sound is amazing with Sensitive IEMs.
Ah, so you are using it via LO. Have you heard the 801 DAC via LO as well? How do they compare DAC wise from LO? The 801 really needed my UHA6S desperately to sound respectable especially for the price.
You know that old adage with me and bad luck with audiophile DAPs...
Yeah what's up w/ that? Do you wear socks and drag your feet over the carpet while listening?
The TTVJ Slim is more tube like and colored compared to the UHA4. The UHA4 is smaller, has a better volume pot for lower volume listening without channel imbalance. The UHA4 has a very beautiful emphasis on its mid range while still remaining quite neutral, with just a hint of warmth. The UHA4 also has a DAC without extra charge while the TTVJ slim will cost you and extra $100 for that same feature.
Are you guys still having problems getting responses from Leckerton? I just emailed them right now to see when the UHA-4's will be back in stock (it says they're out of stock, and will be back in March.)
I haven't read through all the pages in this thread, but are there any impressions regarding the different DACs int he UHA-4 and UHA-6? If there is, is there any way to have the DAC upgraded in the UHA4? I want the digital volume control for my sensitive IEM's, but my main reason for buying this would be the DAC function with my macbook (the hiss from the headphone out is driving me nuts!), so I'm more concerned with the DAC than the amp itself.
