I'm considering a UHA-6 mkII. But I'm a bit undecided given the UHA-4 offers crossfeed and is also available with the opa209 option. How does the UHA-6 mkII compare with the UHA-4?

i dont have the uha6 but the uha4 (forgot what opamp is using) sounds pretty much like an agressive mini3 to me.

No idea how the 209 fairs in the 4 but the 6 is next level compared to the 4.  That was compared side by side w/ 8610s in both.

If it sounds exciting and 'fun' for things like rock could be an 8610.

After searching the owner's posts for it, it is indeed an 8610.

I grabbed the standard AD8610. It seemed to jive well with my taste based on  what people said so I grabbed it. Which OPAMP are you gonna grab? Would love to hear the UHA-4 with a different OPAMP installed ;D

I'm going to stick with my National for the moment. At least for me, there is a big shadow hanging over this market segment: the Hummingbird.

That is a massive shadow, incredibly foreboding as well.  What is it?

Hopefully someone will compare the uha6 with the upcoming Apex Glacier.

Or someone will loan me their uha6 so I can compare it to my Glacier... I think I'm getting the first Glacier off the line.

Hummingbird is the iOS variant of the Dragonfly, allegedly coming to market in Q1 of 2013.

Interesting.  Do you know any more details or pricing etc?  Might it be a good amp as well?
