I'm getting realy excited with the UHA-6S mkii now
 
As far as I could read it's a realy good amp and at least a good dac, making it a very good dac/amp combo for it's price (that's what i'm looking for afterall, not only a dac or amp).
 
Do you people know any other dac/amp in the same price with the same price/performance ratio as this leckerton?

My understanding is that the Leckerton is some of the best value for money you can get.

Most of those are just AMPs not DAC/AMP combos.
 
Honestly, I see the trend going towards DAC/AMP combos connected to a cell phone. The fact is you are carrying around a cell phone anyhow, and Most cell phones are some form of smart phone. As long as it can be a player it can stream media over the network. This allows the user to add a single device to the chain when they want high quality audio. If you have an Android with JellyBean adding any of those 10 devices will drastically increase your sound quality. I would argue that anything above the 10 items I listed; 99% of the user base would not be able to tell the difference.

Are you using USB audio from the iPhone?

It must be amp section only since there is no way to bypass iPhone's internal dac without CCK+jailbreak app or amp/dac combo like HP-P1.

Correct; just a Crystal Piccolino or an EACE LOD.

I understands; sometimes, there is a very fine line between Perception & Reality.
