^Awesome, I think that should do it. Nick was kind enough to bring my 6S MKII back up to stock from -12db.
For the UERM, I think -6dB might be perfect but with a digital pot on 760 and three choices I imagine it will be just fine.
For the more sensitive UE monitors (UE7, for example), the -12db was perfect with my iPhone 4S LOD as source.
shotgunshane was right to remind that different sources will be at different levels...thanks!

Did Anax find the 4627 BRZ the superior op-amp in the UHA-6S MKII? I'm going to see if I can tease out from Nick how much he'll charge for a UHA760 w/4627 BRZ during the preorder. I suspect that's what I'll be ordering.

You could ask how much he'll charge for an LME49990 as well?  Just a thought.  I don't know your sound preferences, but for someone OCD like me rolling back and forth, it's one of the only chips I'd accept to have soldered down in a portable amplifier these days.  AD797 pairs well with CS4398 as well, at least in my desktop CS4398 I thought they complemented each other very well.  Side note, I'm not exactly sure why anyone would like to pay $50 extra for the OPA627 versus ADA4627-1?  It'd be nice to know his thoughts on that as well.

Any recommendations for a portable amp that is a little on the "warm" side.  Perhaps more "tube" sounding is a better reference.

I'd be using it out of my MacBook through an ODAC to either a set of Philips Fidelio IEM's or Paradox. 

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,


I listened to dBel's Portatube amp and liked it...I would trade my TTVJ Portable Millet Hybrid for it.


If interested, double check on his configuration and version. It had a DAC in it too, I believe.


Cheers,
C

I'm just gonna pre-order the 760 with the 4627 BRZ version.  Usually Nick will PayPal invoice me for a configuration that is not set-up on his site.  I emailed him and will await an invoice...will be a fun holiday sneaking in some time to listen to the new toys!

EDIT:  Leckerton Site says "no PayPal" so I may also need to pay with credit card for 4627-1 version and see if I can pay in the background to get upgrade to 4627 BRZ.  Will wait for Nick email reply/confirmation and will update here with info.
