    Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice

    Also in my boxes of tubes I found some tubes that might be of interest to WA6 version 1 owners. These are 6CG7/6FQ7 tubes that can be used with this adapter https://www.ebay.com/itm/193444245987 They're in pristine brand new condition. People seem to like them a lot. Unfortunately, you can't...

    Woo Audio WA6 + WA6SE: Tubes, Comments, Pictures, and Advice

    Joining the WA6SE club, and found a bunch of tubes in my closet! Any red flags for tubes I shouldn't use with my WA6SE 1st gen? When I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, I would often buy large boxes full of tubes on Craiglist. Grandpa the electrical engineer from 1950s/60s would pass away...

    All things Metrum Acoustics

    Awesome. Where do I get this USB3 board, and are there any instructions anywhere for how to install it in a Metrum Hex? Thanks!

    All things Metrum Acoustics

    I'm looking at buying a used Metrum Hex, but would only do it if I could have the second-generation Amanero USB board. This is both for convenience of not having to use special drivers, and sound quality. I contacted Metrum and asked if they would do the upgrade and they said no. Does anyone...

    Shanling M5s now with TIDAL - Dual AK4493EQ DAC, fully balanced, Wi-Fi, 2way LDAC BT, 3.2 Touch screen, FW 3.7

    I understand this doesn't run a Roon client app -- which means it can't control Roon. But does Roon see it as an end-point over wifi? So that Roon can play music to the M5s, controlled by a different client (iPad, laptop, whatever)?

    Audio-gd R2R DAC Thread

    I am looking at a used R2R11, built around the time of the changeover from version 1 to the new "2019 model". Is there anyway by looking at the DAC to know whether its the older or the newer model? Thanks!

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    I tried an OTG adapter. I can connect the LG V30 to a radsone ES100 successfully with that cable, but not the M0.

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    My Shanling M0 works great as a USB DAC when connected to my Mac. But when connected to my android phone (LG V30) with a usb c - usb c cable, the M0 doesn't go into DAC mode and the phone doesn't switch its audio to the M0. Any ideas?

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Comply website doesn't list Mavin Air-X as one of the products they know about. What product should I use on their website whose tips will also be compatible with the Mavin Air-X? Thanks!

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    If it's true that one earbud is always SBC that's a total deal breaker for me. For anyone who thinks SBC is good enough or that SBC / AAC / APTX / LDAC all sound the same, here is a very interesting set of measurements made by Radstone, the sophisticated electronics manufacturer who makes the...

    Radsone EarStudio ES100

    I just got my es100 today from the $75 Amazon sale. Have been curious about this device for quite a while. So far, I'm very impressed. SQ is excellent, and I love all the options in the very well designed companion app. Lots of fun experimentation & listening ahead! This is the first device...

    I don't appreciate the tone of your reply. I was helpfully trying to share my impressions with the community here, and you are attacking me. Additionally, don't call me "son". It's rude to do it to anyone, and it's especially rude to do it to me because I'm probably older than you. It's a...
