I kind of solved the problem. On Shanling M1, I have to turn the volume to maximum to be able to hear the music from WA8. Both DoP and D2P behaves the same.

That's an odd solution but glad you got it to work!

What is even more weird is when I use M1 on iDSD, it does not need to adjust the volume. I wonder if it is because of one of the protocols are missing.

The manufacturer have the option to lock the input signal or not. We decided not to for consistency with most DACs on the market.

Hi HiFiGuy528
I am looking for a closed-back Headphones for WA8
Could you please give me an advise - Soundwise which set you like better:
McIntosh MHP1000 Headphones or Sony MDR-Z1r?
Thank you

Hey there WA8ers. Any of you blokes using yours with an iPad Pro? Trying to use mine and no sound through the CCK. CCK works find out of my iPhone 6S!

I use the iPad Pro 12.9" and that works fine with the WA8. I'm on iOS 10.2 and I do use the Onkyo HF player.

Works fine off my iPhone 7 too on 10.1.1

Check if you're on 10.3.1. I heard it could be a horrible puppy with non-MFi products.

Mm...also using my WA8 via iPad Pro 12.9. Push the volume of your iPad Pro to maximum. Had the same problem before (no volume output).

Make sure you're using a genuine Apple adapter and good quality USB cable.

Alternatively, test WA8 on a Mac. If it works as normal, the problem is with the iPad or adapter and not WA8.

Sony Z1r is better than MHP1000.

Yeah, similar phenomenon happened to me when connecting M1 to WA8. You must turn the (M1/iPhone) volume all the way up to hear sound from WA8.

Mm..anyone using a fake Apple CCK deserves to be flogged to death. A public service announcement from Cupertino.

Go Apple!

The volume trick did it. Just pushed it all the way up and I'm in business. Thanks gentlemen!

Just upgraded my iPad to 10.3.2 four hours ago. No problem at all playing music from iPad to WA8 using Apple cck version 1 (not the latest usb 3.1 cck)

I am so loving my WA8!! It takes my T1 to another level! The bass is strong, treble crispy clear, mid is so lively and all of these in a portable form! I do not have to sit in my study room to enjoy music. Best purchase ever!

OH MY, I'm listening to Embrya album from Maxwell and the Ether Flow and WA8 sound absolutely incredible! Time to pull out more old music!
