HD650 are great with WA7
Just joined the club
Bought a WA7 w/ a pair of extra EH 6C45Pi tubes today, paired with HE560 and RS1i, the sound is amazing, especially with the HE560. The synergy, the details , the sound stage and the bass, or man especially the bass are all improved from my current setup. Really happy with this amp. It's my first tube amp, I think I finally found the amp I've been looking for.
Haven't tried the built-in DAC yet, but I'm pretty happy with my HP-A4 as DAC before, I'm still very happy with it now when hooked up with the WA7.
Congratulations! We would love to see some pics.
Congrats @fengwei007
For a 1-box solution with small footprint, hard to beat the WA7.
Most users agree that the built-in DAC could be better, but you can always use the RCA inputs to bypass the DAC.
I'm waiting for my Oppo HA-1 to arrive and will A-B it with the WA-7 and will most probably keep only 1 amp
As promised, here are two quick photos I took just now:
The WA7 amp drives these two headphones beautifully, They are great to look at too.
I've been listening to the WA7 (EH tubes) + HD800 for a few months now. It's been a great experience but I was thinking of buying a new DAC as I want even more detail retrieval. I'm not even sure if that's possible but budget would be ~$500-$900. I haven't seen too many comparisons on the new PSU so I may upgrade to that if it's a better option.
Edit - I read the X-Sabre pairs well with the HD800s, though X-Sabre + WA7 is a different matter.

I added the x-sabre to the wa7 and it is pretty amazing actually.
