Well - since I now have Edition 8 and HD650, I guess I can simply take them to the Woo dealer 30 minutes from me and take a listen to them on the WA6.  I'm pretty sure it would make me happy with the Ed. 8.  I'm not as sure about the 650.  One can certainly find many comments to suggest the...

Picked up a pair of Palladiums a few days ago - I like!  Stunningly beautiful, but not flashy.  I can wear these on a plane and not feel like a dork.  I like the sound a lot - pretty decent even straight from the iWhatever but definitely more "WOW"-factor with an LOD and the P-51.  I think...

I definitely get static when adjusting the volume.  It has slowly gotten worse.  I believe it's a build-up on the contact points and suspect people in "gunkier" climates will experience it more.  My NAD pre-amp had the exact same sound and has slowly gotten worse living in Taiwan - very humid...

My PB2 and balanced HD650s are impressing me as well.  That combination is also an excellent value for a balanced set up.  I'm using the very reasonably priced, iBasso modified, Sennheiser cord.

Thanks HiFlight -   Another advantage is that one can then keep the unit plugged in and charging on the USB cable.

I'm starting to be convinced that I can't hear all this stuff that other people hear.  Maybe I should quit chucking thousands of dollars at audio equipment.  That said, I've had a couple of wicked colds for the past few weeks and that's been wreaking havoc with my hearing.  So at the moment it...

I was kinda bummed - but now I know the truth.   The black ones sound WAY better.

It's Here! - but locked in the Mail Room and I can't get it for 6 more hours.   Grr

I don't want to start some big debate so if this is one of those questions just say so and I'll stick with what's on hand but:   The DB2 gives me the opportunity to use optical from my MacBook, which is where it will spend most of it's time.  Is that cable...

While the website shows no indication, they have begun shipping.  I have a tracking #, but I was in the first 5 ordered.   FYI - the run time on full charge has been reduced to 13.5 max.   So is optical better, or is that just a loaded question like all the cable debates?  If it's clear...

Just got word as well (on the same two items.)  I expect mine in about 24 hours.   some wording from the email:   "We must correct the play time of the DB2 to "up to 13.5hours". It is shorter than our description on the preorder page. If you are not satisfied with this play time, please...

I'm a noob and could be wrong, but I think you are better off doing the EQing from your computer before the DAC and Amplification.  Additionally, the E7 is pretty limited in what it offers WRT EQ - 3 levels of bass boost - that's it.   Quote:

Some would caution against it, as you are running through two amplification systems and that isn't ideal.  That said, the benefit you are attempting to achieve (some additional bass, I assume) may well outweigh the detriment.  There might be better ways to go about that (perhaps EQ from the...

I don't see the CSP-2 anywhere on Decware's site.  What's the current equivalent?  (Or am I just too dumb to find it?)
