Welp, picked up a Topping D10s in silver to replace the dead DAC in the WA7. Matches pretty damn nicely I must say. I also feel it's an upgrade from the built in WA7 Dac. Would recommend.

My WA7 will no longer detect as a DAC in Windows. Tried multiple PC's, and multiple cables. I've emailed Woo Audio, but after finding this thread I think I'm doomed. The problem used to start with it not detecting after a reboot of my PC, and if I left it on for 3+ hours, it would finally...

I have a weird one for you guys.  I've had the WA7 (stock tubes) paired up with my HD650 for over 2 months now, listening exclusively to this setup with the built in DAC.  Today (out of boredom) I decided to try listening the the amp running off of my Asus Xonar STX line out RCA's into the Amp...

Ok, I just picked up a used (absolutely MINT condition) set of HD650's.  I'm enjoying these a lot more than I thought I would.  I got them for a steal, so I couldn't resist.  I was really enjoying my DT880 600ohm, but these seem to take it up to a completely new level.  Now, having said that I...

My cat seems to like my new WA7 lol!   http://imgur.com/YcIApgr

I have an original Glow Audio One tube amp, and as far as I know it has the original Chinese tubes.  I think this amp was built around 2009/2010.  I bought the amp used off Craigslist, and I've put probably 1000+ listening hours into.  Lately, the left channel gets the odd crackles and pops...

Thank you.  I was worried because I read a few threads where people were saying a simple upgraded USB cord made a huge difference.  From what I understand the DAC is powered from the USB that will be coming from the PC, so not sure how "dirty" the power from the USB is. I'll take your word for it!

I just ordered a WA7 from a Canadian vendor.  How necessary is it to purchase a good USB cable?  What about an upgraded power cord? And if I should purchase them, does anyone know of a Canadian vendor?  USA is ok, but I'd rather get it faster if in fact I should get them.   Thanks!

Thanks alot.  Exact answer I was looking for!   I'm going to chill for the next few hours with my new Pa2v2 enjoying myself.  Many thanks.

Why exactly do you want headphones with high impedance?  Higher impediance does NOT equal higher quality sound.  It *most* cases lower impedance phones are easier to drive.    *Not all lower impedance cans are easier to drive.  Just wonder why you want "high" impediance.

First off, I'm really enjoying my Xonar STX sound card.  I've been using it with the Headphone Out with various headphones, enjoying myself.  However, I have a technical question. I know the line out or speaker outs have a better SNR rating.  I've recently purchased a Pa2v2 amp, and I'm...

Wow, this is a great thread.  I had almost but forgot completely of online raidio.. the 320 kbps sure is nice.

I can't wait to find out if he wants to keep them, and maybe refund the other purchaser.. hmm

I own a HA400, and I've had no isses with it for over 2 years.  It's great for when friends come over as I can plug in multiple headphones.

Just by looking at the pictures of the wires and drivers, I'd say they're fakes. 

Thanks! This is very reassuring info.  Quote:  

A few posts here concern me.  I've just recently ordered the D2000's from a Denon dealer, and I'm expecting the normal D2000s that people have been using for the last few years.  Now, once I look on the denon usa and canadian site, I see a picutre resembling the 1000 series.  I hope it's a...

I currently own Sennheiser 595's, and Audio Technica ATH-AD700's.  Just today, I ordered some Denon D2000's, because I'd like to try them out.  I find the AD700's very detailed, but the bass is quite limited for my liking, however they're great for gaming.  Once I get the D2000's, I'll be sure...

I want to pickup a pair from a local dealer, but for some reason the picture of the AH-D2000's on Denons website, don't look correct.  They seem to resemble the 1000's.  I'm worried I'm going to get him to order them, and I'm going to get the wrong ones.  ...

79 canadian for the 555 is a steal IMHO.  You can't possibly go wrong.

Are you sure you don't meant the 515 G4ME ones?  I can't find anywhere for the 555's for 79.  If they are indeed available in store on the 2nd and 3rd for that price, I'll have to let my brother know to get a set as 79 bucks seems quite good to me.   I'm in the Vancouver area, and I wonder...

I miss the old search function.  It seems crippled now.   Before the changes, I used to be able to search for a forum thread in this way;   If I wanted to find a forum thread Topic with the words "Dave Rat" I could find all the thread 'topics' with the the wording "Dave Rat" in it, but...

Could you do me a favor and report back if you have time? I would like you to try these settings for a map or so, just to see what it's like. I find it sounds ALOT better for me, with my ATH-AD700's. Game Mode Speakers: 2.0/2.1 EAX Effects Enabled CMSS-3D Disabled Crystalizer enabled or...

Will I be able to take advantage of the DAC if I use the RCA outputs to my tube headphone amp? I was under the impression you can only get bit-perfect playback with coax or optical? I'm confused lol.
