Rest assure that there is no need for a WA8 Eclipse v2 anytime soon.

Light on power supply turned red briefly but is now green with unit off no LED on WA8. No green light on charger when not connected to WA8, does not turn red when inserted.

Double check that the charger is getting AC power. Connect directly to wall outlet, not conditioners or strips for testing. LED on charger should run RED when charging and WA8 powered ON.
If the WA8 battery is fully-charged, the charger will have RED LED.
Send us a pic of yours just like this example to info@wooaudio.com

Just out of curiosity why no USB 3.0 B instead of the USB 2.x B?

Mine turns green when fully charge or I have the charger unplug from the WA8.

Happy to hear the concern is all sorted out. Enjoy!
"Just out of curiosity why no USB 3.0 B instead of the USB 2.x B?"
Audio does not require the speed of 3.0 but more importantly 99% if the high-end USB cables on the market are standard USB 2.0. So going 3.0 USB-B connector would be no benefit for this product. If you want to experiment with high-end USB cables, we recommend and sell Nordost Blue Heaven and Heimdall2. Just let us know if you're interested.

Is this the best portable amp for warm musicality?
Would be good to hear the WA8 firsthand before placing an order. Will Woo be doing any audio shows in Europe this year? Any in the UK?

Gotcha! I was just thinking from a hardware aspect that 2.0 can be inserted in the 3.0 socket but not vice versa. Just thinking there's always a new file type...

There are many points to consider when it comes to implementing a new USB type for audio (3.0, USB-C, Thunderbolt 3). One primary factor is noise in the line. Right now, USB 2.0 is still ideal for audio. We also chose to use a Type-B connector so the user can use their existing (standard) high-end USB cable with WA8. And if they misplaced the cable while on a trip, a replacement USB cable can be found just about anywhere in the world. Also, the USB type-B has many contact points for a secured connection with minimal jitter if any.
@jude may bring his WA8 at CanJam London. Say Hi to him when you're at the show. Here's a video from Jude so you know what he looks like.

I've had my unit a week now and was wondering if users noticed a "warm up time" or not? So far I haven't been able to hear any change in sound after I've been listening for an hour or more.

I'm not sure how long it takes for the tubes to warm up and stabilize, but it should probably be far less than one hour.

The tubes are small. A few minutes will reach normal operation.

You guys got me. I have a gold one WA-8 on the way right now and I can't wait! Should be an awesome travel companion for me when I can't bring my WA22 
Question--is there a single cable solution to hook up my iPhone 7 Plus via Lightning cable to the USB B input of the WA8?

not at this time. Apple locked the Lightning port from third-party unless they license through MFI.
Be sure to buy the Lightning to USB camera adapter from Apple only. There are many counterfeits on the web and those may not work 100% of the time.
