Hi, I have used vintage 45 year old Pioneer receivers and I have the RS-06, I have not used them together. The receivers can suffer from old components with highly variable values. No DAC can fix that. I use a Woo WA7 with tube PS with my RS06. Source is Tidal Masters/HIFI. Don't have an MQA DAC...

I'm hoping to make it. I'm Kinda threading the needle with family and work obligations. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

I have not used the USB, I use optical from a windows mobile phone running Tidal.

I just auditioned the RS-06 at CanJamNY. It was not ideal conditions, but good enough to make a purchase decision. While this is not a review, it is an impression that may be helpful to others. So the conditions were only ok in the space, but I was able to audition the following other DACs that...

I'll be there.

I plan on making it.

I'll be there. Not sure what I'm bringing yet, depends on prep time.

I'm in. If someone want to carpool from westchester, have them PM me. I can have a big station wagon and can take at least 4 people and their gear.   Victor

Im in

Count me in.

I want to the NY meet this past weekend to have Jack Wu help me setup my WA7 with Foobar, and Dan "lured" me to his table to listen to his 'phones. I told him that I had heard them last year and the tone was not to my taste. What I did not tell him was I really didn't like them at all back then...

I have the HE500s and I was able to compare them to LCD-3, T1 and HD800. Unfortunately, the HE500s were certainly bested by all three, but they are still great and I enjoy them everyday. I just got the WA7 amp and the the HE500 are much more lively and enjoyable to listen to compared to my...

Great review! I got mine today and the bassiness you described is the same for me. The treble seems ok, tho. The WA7 is definitely a step up from my Vincent HP amp. I have not even tried the DAC yet due to driver issues I have yet to work out.

I plan on being there, also. Not sure if i'll be bringing anything yet. I have the wa7 on order, but Jack should be there with his fine stuff.

I just placed and order for the silver WA7. I was unable to find any comparison between the Sovtek and EH tubes. $100 is quite a bit of money. I'd like to have an idea of the sound improvement of the EH tubes (if any).

I am very taken by this unit. I am looking forward to auditioning this unit.

I pulled out of storage the original receiver my father purchased in 1978. I had heard that the old receivers sounded great from the headphone out, but this one needs some TLC. It powers up and plays music in both channels, but it really needs a good cleaning with a can of Caig. The right is...

I am always wary of "its in your head" syndrome. My engineer friends and wife keep me honest. That said, I did a constant comparison to my other HPs with reference tracks. I know very well that one's mind will hear what it wants and often make us believe things that are not there. (I worked in...

While the QC could improve, everyone I dealt with was very courteous and professional. I had an excellent CS experience. Compared to dealing with Mini Dealer (owned by BMW), the the AA and Hifiman CS was better.
