    Woo Audio Amp Owner Unite

    I don't really want to run bootcamp on the Mac mini, but I'm having trouble finding something comparable to JRiver. I would need it to obviously play FLAC and be able to control via an iPad (not using a monitor). Any Mac people have suggestions?

    Still need to get a Mac Mini for my music so I can move everything to my bedroom (might also get a Sieveking Sound stand), but I'm loving the HD800 + WA22 + Yulong D18 combo. I had no idea the D18 was so small (at least compared to the WA22). Was hoping to stack it on my desk. Might pickup...

    Sennheiser HD 700: Officially Unveiled at CES 2012!

    I can't figure out why US members don't just buy it from Amazon and test it out themselves?????? You have a 30 day no question asked return; I have returned a ton of headphones, amps, etc without question. Free UPS pickups as well. Free auditions FTW.....

    Silly question: my balanced cables arrived today. There is a red connector and black connector for both ends. Does it matter which I plug in as long as it matches both ends (do the colors mean anything besides matching L and R for the ends)?

    Amp and DAC for HD800

    Quote:   Are you looking for an analytical sound? Based on the feeback of someone who's opinion I value, the A18 + D18 combo won't meet your requirements if that is what you are looking for. That combo with the HD800 is for musical enjoyment, not analysis. Here is a quote from our PM...

    Amp and DAC for HD800

    The HD800 are very picky; trust me. I went through so many amps and DACs in the 45 ish days I have owned them. One piece of advice I will give you is don't try to save money; you will end up spending more. I kept buying new equipment, each time more expensive than the previous, and I'm back...

    Just got my WA22 today; bought it from cacatalysis. It came FAST; so fast, that I can't even use it. My DAC, tube adapter, and balanced cables aren't here yet :( I can't describe how brutal it is to not be able to use it

    Picked up a WA22 from cacatalysis, now need to get a new cable. Any recs? Been looking through a few pages and the Black Dragon's seem to be a solid choice.

    To go balanced or not to go balanced that is the question.....   New cables + WA22 + Balanced DAC         vs   WA2 + Yulong D100   Wallet obviously says no balance, but heart says balance.     I hate the 4 week+ wait time for a WA, but I am set on it. Just need to figure...

    Schiit Lyr - The tube rolling thread

    Got through reading a pages of this thread and thought I would just ask:   Received the Lyr; music sounds better, but I am losing that detail I had with the M1HPA when paired with the HD800.    Track 7 of Open Your Ears, the handclaps just aren't as detailed/lifelike.    I want the...

    THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD

    Think I will break down and just pick up some Sieveking stands. This will give a general idea of where my headphones are usually placed.... spending 1k+ on headphones and not giving them a proper place to rest just seems wrong (at least more wrong than spending 150+ on a stand for them):

    Does the Headroom Desktop Amp/DAC reproduce 96kHz/24bit audio?

    I can't understand why there is a need for a USB to S/PDIF (I could be an idiot). My desktop's mobo has an S/PDIF (Asus P8P67 Pro); I just assumed I could connect a DAC to that, am I wrong? I bought an S/PDIF and Toslink (Which I know works) just in case though.....

    Would this DAC work well with the Musical Fidelity M1HPA + HD800? I am currently using the DacMagic and not very happy.

    Like most thought, I'm not happy with the DacMagic...   I am looking at the Yulong Sabre D18 to pair with my MF-M1HPA + HD800. Would that be a good fit?

    I pulled the trigger on the Music Fidelity M1HPA and the Cambridge Audio DacMagic   I only had 4 minutes left before missing out on delivery tomorrow through Amazon Prime so I just bit the bullet on the DAC. If it's not what I want, I can always return it <3 Amazon    Thoughts?
