I Downgrading, lol

Hi all,   Selling the short DC cord (1 ft/30 cm) that connects the two units -- shoot me a PM if interested! :)

Don't know if it was mentioned, but has anyone hooked up their MHA100 with a Chord Mojo DAC? Wondering if that's a good pairing, as the McIntosh DAC seems to be its weakness (it doesn't even do DSD for goodness sakes)...

  $4K and it doesn't even do DSD? That's a shame...

  Lol whoops, my bad -- thanks to the both of you regardless!   And thanks to the SleepyOne for identifying the mystery machine :)

Anybody know what this thing is that HiFiChris posted? Thanks!  

Hand Banana, that's one sweet transportable setup you've got there -- would love to know where I can get my own hands on a Pelican case like that. I ordered a case from Tube Depot, and it looks nothing alike.

  LOL. I love this description. So great.     Metal or plastic knob, can anyone confirm?

Gah! It's posts like yours that make me waver in my resolve to wait until Black Friday before ordering!    Since I'm also based in Toronto...

Can someone who's received their GOLD wa8 unit post a picture of it running under dim lighting? Thanks in advance!

Well, the WA7+tp combo sounds a tad more natural to my ears, and the human voice in particular seems to have more "presence" and "air."  Whereas McIntosh seems to resolve more detail, and is "smoother." Or at least that's how I remember it.   I've only heard the HE1000 once, so I can't comment...

Thanks Koolpep. Looks to be an audiophile-grade Monoprice cable. Lol.

Surprised that a USB cable is being included, since Woo doesn't normally include things like that. I wonder if there is anything special about that cable. Maybe the cable colour matches the amp? That'd be cool...

Maelob is right -- I own and enjoy both the MHA100 and the WA7+tp. And I probably wouldn't keep the McIntosh if not for the very useful speaker output.

  Leaning towards gold as well, even though I think a more conventional colour like black or silver would sell easier on the used market (where buyers tend to be more price sensitive). But subjectively, the gold finish plus tube glow just evokes more of that warm tube goodness to me.    ...

Seeing as how this thread has grown deafeningly quiet, I'm gonna throw out another question: For those of you who have bought this (or are seriously considering buying one) what colour are you getting? Curious to see the splits in colour preference.   Myself, I'm still debating which colour to...

Would be interested to know how long it takes to completely charge the battery from zilch :)

  This.   Reminds me of the time I carried a Woo WEE in my carry-on, and the TSA agents made me take it out for closer examination -- thing looks like it could be detonated, lol.   Wish this thing could also charge over USB, albeit much more slowly I'd imagine. Still, that would help with...

  Also makes it easier to sell, for when we need to secure the funds for the inevitable WA9 (featuring a lightning cable output). Lol.

Fingers crossed that it's relatively simple to replace the battery ourselves!   Cost of a spare battery is of course a different story...

Any word yet guys on whether this supports DSD?   Would like to see some numbers on expected battery life too :)

      Thanks for the comments guys. Since I've haven't experienced the same issue outside of Spotify, I'll just chalk it up as a software issue.  Although I do wish that McIntosh would put out a firmware update, this thing has been out for a while. And I echo the comments of a few others...

Been away from this thread for a while now.  Just got this hooked up to a pair of LS50's, and it sounds great -- no surprise at all why it's an oft-mentioned combination.  Even non-audiophiles have commented on the quality.   I have run into an issue however.  When playing music from Spotify...

  I'm reluctant to identify the dealer, unless I was absolutely certain there were shenanigans involved...   The dealer did give me a UPS shipping link to follow before it arrived at his store (it shipped to Toronto from Buffalo). The box was also sealed with McIntosh tape, so I'm assuming it...

Hey, was there a manual and remote control included with your units? I didn't get anything with mine :(
