so i did the whole thing and reinstalled with the newer versions of emcore and rockbox   it seems to be working better but i noticed that most of my files do seem to copy, with a few exceptions [and those send the ipod into fits].  maybe the problem is with the files in my computer being...

so for some reason my 120g is not transferring files from the computer   it works when i copy something from the ipod to the comp but not the other way around   ive been putting a lot of vinyl rips in there lately [but they're 16-44 anyways] idk if it might have something to do with it...

i use it as DAC   sounds tons better than my crappy laptop soundcard

like butter

making playlists on rockbox is a total pain on the a**   that's the only thing i miss from itunes :(

i didnt realize burn-in was a significant factor for amps   mine has maybe 30 hrs tops

i was pretty unimpressed with this amp since i got it basically to make my audiophile orchestral albums sound as vast and dynamic as i know they can [on ER4s], but didnt really hear much of a difference between the Leckerton and my rockboxed ipod hp out except maybe more treble and clean gain...

idk maybe try a couple times more?   it wasnt working for me until about the 12th attempt

yeah the sound is a bit more refined and dynamic.  with the original i could always hear a kind of midrange 'glare' and no soundstage   im almost regretting buying that UHA-4 for my ER4s, i can just plug em in to the ipod and it sounds pretty decent!   and of course EQ to my heart's content 

ok thx!

thank you guys for this!   i just switched last night and spent an hour playing with the EQ!  but even without EQ i can tell it sounds better...frequency response seems to be the same, but there's soundstage and clarity, and no harshness.   i was only wondering if the thing charges...

i have the Lexicon Lambda and it sounded pretty nice when i heard my own recordings but it never dawned on me to listen to it as a DAC    i'll do some comparisons with my Leckerton UHA-4 and see how nice it really is...

finally delivered!!   been listening to it with my ipod, mostly comparing the crossfeed on/off.  so far i like it, tho with ER4s im finding the treble detail a bit much, but it may be that FiiO E5 w/bassboost was just obscuring everything.   i cant seem to make it work in USB DAC mode...

just ordered me one of these babies!   let's see what all the fuss was about

im waiting waiting waiting still   shoulda bought this when i had a chance 

oh Schiit, i might just get an Asgard   it's going for $250 and is apparently a massive steal   if it really sounds that good i prob wouldnt mind not being portable

btw it looks like the b stock leckertons are also gone

concensus tilting towards Leckerton huh   Nachkebia, any chance you're the notorious ateaser?  I'm wintergreen

so i cant decide as it seems both these amps are the ultimate for the Etys based on opinions here   i guess what it comes down to is which one will give me more scale, power, soundstage depth and low low bass for realistic orchestral recordings [Telarc anyone?]   i find that when i...

ER4s, FiiO E5, Ipod Classic   upgrading amp soon tho, and getting some Senn HD598s 

pixies - surfer rosa [MFSL]

i just ordered the refurbished ones from amazon, $160   hope i dont regret it

Quote: i was afraid someone would say this   i really really want it [the Leckerton], was just looking for a last-minute excuse not to spend the 200 bucks

are there any other 'less' expensive ones out there?
