My WA6 w/PDPS and 22/300V VCAP upgrade ships Monday as well, a little less than 4 weeks from order date.

Thanks for the post! I just got my DacMagic and the same thing happened with foobar. I searched google for "dacmagic no sound" and hit your post. After reading your solution I did them same thing and voila I am now listening to tunes from the dacmagic to the line ins of my Compass (while waiting...

My Compass has run about 360 hours using the stock Earth Opa. I am new around here but my ears can definately detect that it is sounding better than it did during the burn in process, and in fact the rock and prog I am listening to is sounding great with my K702s!!. Now its time for me to break...

Got my DHC headphone cable: Nucleotide w/ clear Teflon & Furutech ¼” cable - the Teflon is clear enough that you can see the copper braids inside

So if a power conditioner is redundant, and if I only have one wall outlet for three items (Woo Amp, DacMagic and Squeezebox), what would you recommend to split the power, any old power strip?

In preparation of the arrival of my WA6 which should be coming in a couple weeks I purchased a Volex power cable. I got a little bit of a longer one (9 foot) in order to reach directly to the wall outlet. The wall outlet only has 2 receptacles; one is used for a cheap power strip the table lamp...

I emailed Jack to ask if any additional upgrades were available for the WA6 (before I ordered) then after I made my decision I asked him to send me a Paypal invoice. THat's when he told me the build time is three weeks. After making my Paypal pmt I did not get an email confirmation, but then I...

Thanks for the info. I had heard about power supply issues on some UK units (I am in the US though), and that sometimes the panel wasn't screwed in correctly. That's good to hear you're happy with it - I am leaning toward this unit then. Any avice on where to find it for a good price like you...

OK sorry for a dumb question - how do I get the picture to display in my post?

I am new around these forums. I am happy to found you guys but of course my wallet is getting lighter and lighter because of it. Anyway last Sat almost midnight I sent Peter an email inquiry and he responded right away. I needed a cable for my AKG K702 (okay I didn't really need it), but I ended...

I am about to join the ranks of you all - I ordered a black WA6 w/PDPS and 22/300V VCAP upgrade. My ordered went in a week ago, so per Jack's estimate, I have a couple weeks to wait. I will need a DAC. Jack recommended for this budget to consider the DAC Magic or PS Audio DIII. DAC Magic seems...

Purchased Compass per recommendations read on the Compass FAQ, and recieved it last week. It is my first real headphone amp for my home system so I can't offer any comparisons yet. I can say it arrived in perfect condition and works perfectly and sounds great with my K702's. Also Kingwa was very...

I am new to this forum but a long time music aficionado/musician (rock, reggae). I grew up in the 70’s as a teen and my family always had decent stereo equip. Somehow I lost my way a bit, but then a couple years ago got an ipod which really got back into spending some serious time listening to...
