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.

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

It's simply beyond the laws of physics. Good form factor though w/ good performance from what I hear. Can't hardly cast a shadow though.
If you haven't heard it, you should. You might be surprised. I'd be happy to arrange a demo for you at my office (Costa Mesa). PM if interested.

PM if interested.I'd be happy to if your MAC can play my files. I'm sure it's good but there's no way it's got a better amp section than the UHA6S mk2, RX mk3, LISA or Portaphile 627. It's size and price combined really make that an impossibility. That's just IME and based on my understanding of topologies and other valid impressions I've come across. I don't others who have heard the Dragonfly feel it is a giant slayer except compared to less than stellar amps. I'd expect it to compete w/ my Arrow 4G but even then the two serve different purposes. So what you are saying is the Dragonfly/Hummingbird will crush the ODAC or better feeding any of the aforementioned amps? I'd love to replace my portable rig w/ a magic bullet so I hope you are right.
