Yes, as of right now I am ordering a Leckerton UHA-6S.MKII w/ AD8610ARZ. I may order the OPA209AID and OPA627AP as individual opamps that I can test at my leisure.
Why?
First, the DAC is a Cirrus Logic [size=small]CS4398 which is their flagship DAC. From reading the sound science forums, the difference between flagship DAC's from the major manufactures (Cirrus Logic, Wolfson, Burr-Brown, etc...) are minor at best. In the photography world the people who focus on these differences are called pixel peepers; not real world viewing.[/size]
[size=small]Second, Nick Leckerton is an application engineer for Cirrus Logic helping other companies integrate Cirrus Logic DAC's into their products. Again from the sound science forum, it is abundantly clear that the implementation of a DAC is far more important than the DAC itself when it comes to sound quality. I may be going off on a limb here, but I think Nick knows more about how to properly implement a DAC, especially a Cirrus Logic DAC, than most other people in this field.[/size]
[size=small]Third, again from the sound science forum, the amplifier section of the chain has a larger impact when comparing the top opamps to each other. The UHA-6S.MKII opamps can be user rolled at minimal expense. [/size]
[size=small]Forth, the UHA-6S.MKII is highly regarded as one of the best amps on the market at any price in the realm of portable dac/amps. I am not saying it is the best, but is it universally considered the best cost to performance of any portable amp on the market.[/size]
[size=small]Finally, I do not need the iAP as I do not own a single Apple product and do not intend to own one in the near future. This particular feature would only assist in resale value, and I am not purchasing this item for its re-saleability.[/size]
Thanks for all of the assistance given to me by the members of this forum. I will continue to surf the forums and participate in future discussions. I will also post pics and impressions of my rig as soon as all of the pieces arrive[size=x-small] (Samsung Galaxy Note 2 > HackShop Cable > Leckerton UHA-6S.MKII > DHC Symboite Cable > Unique Melody Miracle).[/size]
[size=x-small]For the record, from everything I have read, and it has been a library it seems, all 10 of the listed DAC/AMP's are of the utmost quality and deserve an honest evaluation by any consumer; my choices are mine alone. [/size]
