Neutrik XLR plugs     Quote:   http://www.neutrik.com/en/xlr/a-series/nc4fah-0 for example.  

Quote:   Thank you very much for that, makes alot more sense now, noticed some XLR female plugs dont have any coating, just CuSn8... thats what I was confused about. 

I am more than happy for people to say that, but if the WA2/WA22 are supposedly amazing for the HD800, then theres no real arguement there tbh.   I believe the HD800s are rated around 500mw per driver or something like that? cant remember, anyways it doesn't matter.. my explanation pretty...

I did not say they do not exist, I said I do not understand why they exist, whats the science/theory behind 8x24awg cables?  

Does anyone know what type of jacks wooaudio use? as in. Silver plated XLR outputs for the WA22? Rear RCAs for WA2 are made out of?    

So after being annoyed by not understanding why 8x24AWG or 4x18AWG + 4x22AWG single ended cables existed I had to do some research.   Firstly, if you disagree with the below, feel free to contribute, however please do not start a flame fest.   Ok so to start I did the current requirement...

This thing would look stunning in black, is it 100% certain it won't be going anywhere but japan ?   http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/avac/item/dac-1000/   $697 AUD + $82 AUD shipping...   For $800 this is quite a decent DAC, according to specs only ofc.

How can one check to see what audio quality is actually coming out on the Ref 5 or Dac-19?   Or do you guys just trust foobar to do its job?

Interesting, the WA2 should almost be able to fit on top of the WDS-1 but not in a straight orientation as in H*W*D: DAC 84x230x320mm WA2 140x330x230mm   not sure if anyone cares tbh, but i prefer the idea of stacking rather than separate shelves for different items.

Sorry to be a pain, anyone got a diagram of how the HD800 connectors work/connection diagram?   I get the 1/4" quite easily, but before I start I want to make sure I know how to do the works.   also when people use 8 strands for SE rather than 4, do they just double each connection?

guys I want to make myself a SE cable for my HD800s, just wondering how many meters of cable would i roughly need to get 4-6 feet of cable, going for braid style (much like alo), so assuming   worst case 4 meters of cable per length, 2 left channel, 2 right channel = 4x4 = 16 meters of...

Quote: It may be a good idea, however realize that there is a lot more effort. As an Electrical engineer myself id recommend you get a bloody decent solderer and practice your soldering skills because in my eyes thats the biggest issue (bad conductivity/overheating components and...

Looks really nice, just wish it wasnt "black accent" rather than Black frame/ so it would match a black WA2/WA22

Infected mushroom on the hd800s make the boom like nothing else. Love their production quality, just too bad you can't get that stuff at 24 bit :P

Only issue I have with the grace is that it doesnt have balanced out :(
