WA7 vs Crack + SB for HD650 and K7xx?
As the title suggests. My main source would be spotify + macbook air. I've tried and returned a pair of Schiit MM stack, because I could hear absolutely zero difference between that setup and my macbook audio out. For those of you who have compared WA7 with Crack directly, could you share some...- ilreceiver

Valhalla 2 review coming soon!
Perfect, thanks for the very informative reply! From your profile, I see that you are pairing Valhalla 2 with HD650, fed in by a Modi? I wonder if the Modi stacks nicely on the left side of the Valhalla 2? Also, have you been able to try the Valhalla 2 with K712 (owned previously)? Thanks again!- ilreceiver

Valhalla 2 review coming soon!
Thanks for the reply. I'm just looking, but I was extremely close to pulling the trigger today. So is the proper procedure to plug / unplug while the amp is on, not leaving it plugged while powering on and off? And you are saying that it should be fine even if I leave the phone there all...- ilreceiver

Valhalla 2 review coming soon!
Does anyone have anything to say to this, just found on reddit? Or are those guys paranoid? Found the following from the original Asgard DC problem youtube video. Some guy still gets diaphragm movement when powering on / off his Valhalla 2. He took some measurements and found the following...- ilreceiver

NEW Vali Schiit AMP!!!
Does anyone else experience a "pop" in the headphone after about 5 seconds of turning the Vali on? I'm a bit worried that it'll destroy the diaphragm.- ilreceiver

Help with WooAudio wa6
Hi all, Long time lurker here. I'm about to purchase a WA6 from a stranger (not through head-fi). I wonder what's a reasonable price for a used wa6 that was produced in early 2013? The vanilla version without any upgrades. I'll have about an hour to listen to it before sealing the deal...- ilreceiver

HD650 or K7xx
Hi all, I'm fortunately enough to participate in both mass drop k7xx as well as the adorama HD650 for 315. I think I'll only keep one headphone though... This will be my first foray into high-end open headphones, coming from se535 and ah-M50. What do you guys think? I bet both...- ilreceiver
