Maybe a little color on the letters                                                                                                                                              
 
 

Mike, do you know if anyone (including yourself) has come up with a C3g adapter scenario for the WA2 yet?

One Really can't go wrong with either finish. I was on the fence a bit too.
Black looks cool as s@#$.
Welcom aboard!

Hey guys, is there still a remote control option for the WA2?

Considering for headphone and preamp duties, but would be cumbersome without remote.

No remote option that I'm aware of.  The WA2 can be good for a pre-amp, but with premium tubes (e.g. Brimar EZ80, WE 421A, Amperex 6922 drivers etc.)  Buy it as a Headphone amp with a secondary as a preamp,  if so inclined.  (My 2 cents!)  YMMV

design priorities are as follows: the sound, the sound, reliability, features, convenience. In that order.

Please consider our WDS-1 Reference DAC with optional remote for variable outputs.

General and very broad question: any tips on dac selection for the wa2/hd800 combo?

There doesn't appear to be much dac conversation in wa2 threads

I've had a very good experience with the Matrix X-Sabre DAC with my WA2/ HD800 combo.  This DAC has never been a (perceivable) limiting factor in my system.

thanks for that post. I was looking at that dac a couple of months ago.

I currently have an irdac which paired up with my soloist really well. My wa2 is arriving this week so I'll be able to sus out where to go with a new dac, if needed, from there.

The irdac is essentially a little warm, lush mids and a little rolled off at either end.

I think the X sabre would be more neutral and a little more clarity

I've had the WA2 for about 5 years now, mainly with Senn HD650s. Ive always been using the TS 5998s as I've always read that these were the best outside of the GECs. I just recently got a pair or TS 7236s,and to my surprise, I found the 7236s to be much more musical and enjoyable than the 5998s. To me the 5998s sound kind of dry, mechanical and boring in comparison to the more musical TS 7236s. Am I alone in feeling this way?
