The All-New WA7 Fireflies from Woo Audio
Welp, picked up a Topping D10s in silver to replace the dead DAC in the WA7. Matches pretty damn nicely I must say. I also feel it's an upgrade from the built in WA7 Dac. Would recommend.- Hordsak

The All-New WA7 Fireflies from Woo Audio
My WA7 will no longer detect as a DAC in Windows. Tried multiple PC's, and multiple cables. I've emailed Woo Audio, but after finding this thread I think I'm doomed. The problem used to start with it not detecting after a reboot of my PC, and if I left it on for 3+ hours, it would finally...- Hordsak

WOO-HOOOO... WA7 "fireflies"!!!
I have a weird one for you guys. I've had the WA7 (stock tubes) paired up with my HD650 for over 2 months now, listening exclusively to this setup with the built in DAC. Today (out of boredom) I decided to try listening the the amp running off of my Asus Xonar STX line out RCA's into the Amp...- Hordsak

WOO-HOOOO... WA7 "fireflies"!!!
Ok, I just picked up a used (absolutely MINT condition) set of HD650's. I'm enjoying these a lot more than I thought I would. I got them for a steal, so I couldn't resist. I was really enjoying my DT880 600ohm, but these seem to take it up to a completely new level. Now, having said that I...- Hordsak

Are my tubes about done?
I have an original Glow Audio One tube amp, and as far as I know it has the original Chinese tubes. I think this amp was built around 2009/2010. I bought the amp used off Craigslist, and I've put probably 1000+ listening hours into. Lately, the left channel gets the odd crackles and pops...- Hordsak

WOO-HOOOO... WA7 "fireflies"!!!
Thank you. I was worried because I read a few threads where people were saying a simple upgraded USB cord made a huge difference. From what I understand the DAC is powered from the USB that will be coming from the PC, so not sure how "dirty" the power from the USB is. I'll take your word for it!- Hordsak

WOO-HOOOO... WA7 "fireflies"!!!
I just ordered a WA7 from a Canadian vendor. How necessary is it to purchase a good USB cable? What about an upgraded power cord? And if I should purchase them, does anyone know of a Canadian vendor? USA is ok, but I'd rather get it faster if in fact I should get them. Thanks!- Hordsak

Looking for new headphone and which method to drive them?
Why exactly do you want headphones with high impedance? Higher impediance does NOT equal higher quality sound. It *most* cases lower impedance phones are easier to drive. *Not all lower impedance cans are easier to drive. Just wonder why you want "high" impediance.- Hordsak

Xonar STX Head out vs Out with Pa2v2
First off, I'm really enjoying my Xonar STX sound card. I've been using it with the Headphone Out with various headphones, enjoying myself. However, I have a technical question. I know the line out or speaker outs have a better SNR rating. I've recently purchased a Pa2v2 amp, and I'm...- Hordsak

Just by looking at the pictures of the wires and drivers, I'd say they're fakes.- Hordsak
