Main extra thing to note is that this feature is being done with 64 bit precision rather than 24/32 bit as many normal digital EQs are (some even only do 16 bit). This is to ensure absolutely no change in sound quality other than the actual FR effect itself. Ie: it's the highest possible quality...

Generally if using Wandla with a tube amp, I'd set voltage output to 'red' mode and then vol control to about 90. But try tweaking the level to see what sounds best with your amp. With other DACs either use the inbuilt vol control or vol control in your player to apply about 6-10dB vol attenuation

It's not that the envy can't take more than that, it's just that it (and so far all other tube amps or hybrid amps with tube input stages) that I've tested exhibit distortion correlated with input level, regardless of what level is actually being output. This means that they will change in...

One thing to note is with envy (and many other tube amps) you'd definitely need to use vol control/voltage adjustment. 10V into a tube amp will cause them to distort significantly more. With the WA23 and Envy AE the sweet spot was about 1V

It's not crossfeed no (although there is . I've never really been a fan of crossfeed other than for hard panned tracks. The spatial enhancement in the GSE works differently.

Let us know how it is once you try it!

Oh yeah, he1 is incredible. I just mean I'd love to see how much better it gets with a DAC like the GSE HE1 + GSE spatial enhancement would probably be insanely good

Using it with HE1 would make a lot of sense imo. Having tried the HE1 both standalone and with the Lina dac I feel the internal dac is something of a bottleneck. I'd love to hear he1 with the GSE someday.

I really like it with tube amps (it plus the envy anniversary edition was awesome) I just wouldn't necessarily use the tube mode itself if using a tube amp (maybe if using a very low distortion one like a WA33 or something but not with most SET amps)

Ooh nice yours arrived? How's it sounding so far? :D

I don't generally use it with atrium, atrium is already a fairly bassy headphone. Bass level preference is the area that varies most between listeners though so its gonna depend on the person

For anyone at Munich wanting to try it, there's a couple Wandla GoldenSound editions at the Ferrum booth and another in the Meze Booth in the headphone hall! (possibly more elsewhere too)

The conversion system will be finished and ready in June (gonna say late June to be safe)

Really glad you liked it! Personally I think the composer takes very nice advantage of the spatial enhancement

If anyone is at Munich High-End there are some Wandla GSEs about, one is in the Meze room :)
