I know most people won't agree with my view I love my hd650's and for some reason I prefer the hd700 over the hd800. Go figure

Hey Dutch did you get the wa6 ?? If so hiw do you find it

I would be in for a mini meet I've got a hd650 and wa3 amp, bitfrost uber dac. I would make the trip if there were a few people going.

Thank you for the info I'm stuck between the bitfrost dac and dac magic plus money isn't a worry. The only reason I'm worried about the Bitfrost is because its a sponsor of headhifi and I'm not sure if the hype is as good as the dacmagic

Excuse the noob question but I'm wanting to buy the dac magic plus as a dac only. I've got a tube amp wa3, how would I bypass the internal amp of the dac? If I use a toslink cable to connect it to my pc and then RCA to the wa3. Will this effectively bypass the amp on the dac magic plus or would...

Well I can run a few otl amps (wa3 even little dot mk3) and have no white noise at all. Even tried a crack and the wa6 With different dacs into my pc also from a labtop. Unless I just got a faulty lyr from schiit after a few days I sent it back. I would've got a replacement but looking around...

+1

Has some white noise aswell :-( this turned me off the Lyr

To be fair I've always prefered tube amps the only reason I didn't like the lyr was because of the low level white noise that I found a little distracting. Whether it was down to a faulty unit I just preferred the otl wa3 because in my rig there was no white noise and the mids were silky smooth...

Nah it definitely takes 6005 hours its been proved

I agree completely gaming out of the stx is great but for music its a little underwhelming. With the tube amp everything just sounds right and I tried to work out what the difference was in the previous post to the best if my abilities. After listening to 10mins of music through the stx I get...

I do think that the hd650,s are picky with there amp sources. I love the hd650 but if I listen to it say thru the asus stx soundcard I get bored after a few minutes. Going with a tube amp like wa3 even the little dot mk3 I can listen for hours on end. Even an ss amp like the lehmann sounds...

Yeah it is the 8100 will defiantly give them more time burning in a bit

Has anyone tried the mullards 8101?? Just curious as they don't sound very good treble is very harsh.

I've only heard the wa3/wa6, schiit lyr and wa6se unfortunately I haven't had the chance to audition the wa2 yet that is :-).
