Well, I'll be damned. I have been running my R26 with NOS and DSD Direct on (getting I2S input from my U18) with it connected to my LHY-OCK 2 using my best Tubulus cable. I will try see if there's an audible difference with NOS/DSD off and/or with my Tubulus connected to my U18 instead.

That's part of the fun, right?

I was unaware this thread existed, as I have been posting (albeit, very little) in the regular Wandla thread. I'm one of those that happily pre-ordered the GSE, after contemplating other DACs. I already had the standard Wandla on my wishlist, but this one showed up just in time. I'm looking...

Well, I just placed my order, so I'll be looking forward to the delivery! :gs1000smile:

Sale pending on another site.

For those using the Holo Red with I2S into the Wandla, what is the pinout configuration you have the Red set to?

From a usability perspective, how easy is the Holo Red to implement compared to say, an EverSolo DMP-A6? I use Roon (no HQPlayer). There's a lot of stuff in this thread that I don't understand and it seems rather daunting to figure out the Red. I want something I can put into my chain...

New headphone day! Thanks, @tawmizzzz!

Heard back. These were bought new from a local store 6 months ago. So 2.5 years remaining on warranty.

I’m not sure. I do have the question out to the guy I bought from. I suspect these are less than a year old based on the condition.

I have a pair of excellent condition HiFiMan HE1000se for sale. Second owner. I bought these less than two weeks ago from another site and have put very little hours on them. I see no visible blemishes. It comes with the OEM black-sleeved cables, box, and documentation. Pet-free, non-smoking...

Yes, I find it between the Vivid and Classics.

Nice. I also have the exact op amps available so I might give it a go. Currently, I'm trying out the V7 Vivid in the voltage, V7 Classic in the input, and the Muzg in the volume. I really like it, actually. Excellent dynamics, good/balanced bass impact (attack and decay are weighty but not super...

Care to provide some impressions?

Thanks! I do have a question specifically about the Wandla GSE but I don’t want to put you in an awkward position so I will PM you.

Thanks. I understand it may be a pointless comparision. I just want to read what others think in terms of this price category. Perhaps it just boils down to if someone prefers R2R or Sigma Delta, but I want to read it from those who have heard both of these DACs. It's not the first time...

Comparison to Wandla needed.

@GoldenSound Very much interested in the GSE Wandla. Looks amazing. Headphones.com shows it as pre-order. Do you know how soon orders will begin shipping once the pre-order is placed?

That’s sick. I like the look of the honeycomb grills over the standard MH design. I didn’t even know it was an option to get CF grills let alone a different design.

This is a great price. GLWS if it hasn't sold already.

Tom was such a great person to deal with. He was highly communicative, transparent, and overall just a friendly guy. I would absolutely not hesitate in transacting with him again!

Great buyer, would not hesitate to deal with again.

If you decide to piece out the V7 op amps, let me know. Thanks and GLWS!

Can you please post pictures?
