Tastes in woods and women vary………..going to wait for Cocobolo or Red Mallee CC Ltd……lol……..that’s my stalling purchase tactic.

Ok….weigh in AC Ltd Cocobolo 587 grams…..but that includes the LTD headband compared to my CO Oak non LTD headband 532 grams Oddly enough I haven’t noticed a comfort difference

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE CALDERA OPEN…….just saying….lol……..but loving my AC too! No …..CC do not exist…..nope,they don’t.

I’m using Caldera Lambskin thins…….

Yeah……close to 200 hours……I almost gave up on them!………but now they rival my CO

Down to just business no fanciness for my CO…..Oak………best sound I have heard out of a headphone.

My Cocobolo AC LTD………..beautiful wood…..Janka 2960…….took many hours to break in….

Actually headphone hobby is quite cheap compared to Hifi speaker systems……….you have to spend upwards of 25K for just barely above entry level speakers in the Magico line……….final entry level system is around 60K plus…..by the time you add all the snake oil components like footers and cables etc...

Thanks…….the more I listen and break-in my AC Cocobolo the harder it is to draw a winner…..why can’t life be simple ?

Or better yet…AC or CC if you have the CO?

Is the CC sound closer to the CO or the AC ? Anyone? I have the CO and AC and just wondering if I should bring a pair in. I much prefer the CO over the AC

I don’t care for the Dave’s amp but paired with the Woo wa22 as a Dac it’s phenomenal! Very holographic presentation.

The only hum I have encountered has always been tube related so far in my WA22. Dead silent with good tubes. The Chord Dave pairs very well with it too. I am very tempted to get a Mjolnir 3 just as an additional flavor for my system but every time I plug in the Woo I think it doesn’t get...

Yggdrasil is so good……………..took 5x the price to better it….. Mjolnir on order!………

Just installed a Psvane 5U4G Vacuum Tube and it sounds better than the Sophia Mesh …………I’m really enjoying my newly acquired WA22 with the Focal Stellia.

I use balanced cause my balanced cables are better than my SE cables and actually sound better. My Iggy i left on all the time but since I got the Dave I turn off my whole system because I can and want to lol

I prefer silver all the way! Matches my Pass Labs Int-60 amp and LUMIN U-1 streamer. Sounds superb thru my Magico S1MK2 speakers. Larry

I had both the Dave and Yggy side by side. The Dave had a much better 3D like separation of vocals and instruments. Is it worth it? Only your pocketbook can decide. The yggy is a champ lasting 4 years in my system........put it up against Lampis, Ayres and PS audio pwd2 and it bested all of...

I had the Yggdrasil and the Chord Dave both in my system for more than a week. After extensive A/B in my speaker system the Dave won out. There was better staging with a more 3D feeling about it. I ended up selling the Yggy and bought a Dave. Yep it's a little better.....I don't think it's more...

Put me in the untrustworthy category, and throw in my dealer. We both have not heard any Dac with volume control built in sound better without a Preamp in between at least with speaker systems. Larry

My listening room/office is sort of sound isolated small 11x14. My speakers are set up in nearfied fashion 3ft from side walls 5ft apart and 5ft from back wall with slight adjustments to these numbers as I dialed in the sound with movement of speakers and listening chair.. I probably have $30K...

I don't wanna get flamed but you haven't heard what Dave can do until you listen to it on a high quality speaker system. There, i said it.

Thanks....something else I misread! Lol.

By standby do you mean on mode 4 when the display turns off? Is the whole unit on standby or is it just the display?

Oops! I quoted Chord Dave's instructions wrong. Pie in the face for me. My sincere apologies to all and specially to Relic. :grimacing:
