I just ordered the UHA-6 and will post my impressions. I have been looking for comparisons with the Just Audio uHA-120, however i couldn't find any...

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.

I received my UHA-6 (OPA209) on Friday. I don't have another amp of similar value to compare it to, only an E11 and Icon HDP which are inferior & superior respectively speaking. However i am very pleased with the improvement over the headphone out of my Touch 3G, and there is even one area where the UHA-6 beats the Icon HDP, that is the midrange, which is clearer and slightly more prominent, giving vocals a more intimate presentation (i suspect the OPA209 is responsible for this based on what i read although i don't have the default 8610 to compare).

Compared to the HO of the Touch, the sound stage is wider & deeper, overall SQ is very clear. More air and space, better separation. Switching back & forth, the HO of the Touch feels smaller and less dynamic.

The built quality is exceptional and has a very solid feel (and weight) to it. The volume pot truly gives a sense of refinement with just the right amount of resistance. Very smooth. I love the amp :)

^ Pretty much seconds my impressions.  It's my go to amp/DAC for portable/transportable use primarily w/ IEMs and many cans.
