I'm all about getting the best bang for the buck. I get really excited when I discover a new pairing that really is greater than the sum of the parts. I think a lot of the fun in this hobby goes towards discovering different combinations of amps and headphones. So list what you've discovered so...

I currently use a HeadRoom Ultra Dekstop Amp from my laptop out to my Beyer T1's and also out to my Paradigm MilleniaOne CT desktop speakers.  I normally listen to the speakers but sometimes enjoy really hearing the music with the headphones on.  The HeadRoom has a front switch that lets me...

Is it even necessary, to have a full sized amp, in terms of achieving better SQ? With the explosion of portable amps in the market, from affordable Fiio amps to totl Wagnus, most people generally just use them, even for home listening. I have briefly tried a friend's tube amp with my 1plus2...

So I''ve been travelling less and looking to start up a home rig. With a budget around 1k, Im thinking of getting a Woo Wa7 amp. I  was thinking about getting a set of t1s lcd-2.2s, however, getting those and amping them would be way over the price limit and I already have a set of signature...

First Impressions   So my WA7 arrived today. I had it shipped to work and was listening through my Sennheiser HD 700 while at work. I didn't have my O2+ODAC readily available, but first impressions I could already tell it was better. How much better? Well I started hearing sounds I could not...

I want to eventually get a Woo Audio amp to use with my AKGs, and maybe some orthodynamics in the future, and I was looking at getting the Woo Audio WA6, and source my own RCA cables and DAC separately (something like the 100 dollar Schiit Audio Modi). So the total would be about 850 dollars...

Title says it all. I've heard the Bottlehead Crack is pretty legendary for Sennheisers. How does it compare with the amp part of the WA7? I have the HD700 by the way.

hey every one i have the wa7 fireflies amp, and I am picking up a pair of lcd-2s this week.  Should i be running the lcd-2s at high or low impedance? thanks 

I've read great things about the WA7, but mostly as a complete package or mainly about the amp. Haven't heard much about just the DAC itself. Anyone use the WA7 as a standalone DAC and compare it to other DACs like the Bifrost?

Has anyone compared the Woo Audio WA7 vs. the Schiit LYR.   I own a Schiit Bitfrost and Asgard SS comboI with HE-500s and Grado PS500s.  I would like to add a tube amp and am considering WA7 or the LYR.

Hi all, I'm currently using my iMac to listen to audio files via Schiit Bifrost/Valhalla + Sennheiser HD650 combo, sourcing audio from iMac's optical spdif minijack.  Now I'm all into upgrading my system to WA7 + Audeze LCD3, however I noticed that WA7 doesnt have optical SPDIF input, only...

I am considering    liquid glass woo audio WA5 RSA darkstar.   Or other under $4000 options? Does anyone own one or more of above amps?

Apologies if this isn't the correct forum.   Hi there.  Long time lurker here.   After years of considering taking the plunge into higher-end headphone/audio equipment, I think I've finally made up my mind to do it.     I've spent a solid week reading these forums, and others, for...

Hi,   I have liked headphones for most of my life but always had cheap models. I finally got my taste of good earphones a few months ago with an entry level Grado and B&W P5. I have now decided to invest in an amplifier and a DAC . currently using NuForce portable USB amp.   Problem is -...

I've been enjoying my setup for a while now, but think I"d like to upgrade to a better amp.  I"m running the Sennheiser HD600 out of a Schiit Valhalla amp being fed by a Peachtree DAC-IT.  I"ve used the same DAC in other setups and really like it, and I've heard the HD600 on better amps and...

I received the replacement tubes from A2A today, so came home just after lunch time.    Now, the new tubes have been installed and the amp turned on.    the setup is :   Dell Precision Mobile workstation + USB cable + WA7 + HD650.    Local time: 3:10PM   Room temp: 20-25C...

About to pull the trigger on one of these two similar DAC/Amps, to be used primarily for driving Audeze LCD-2 Rev 2s.     These are roughly equivalent in terms of price (assuming one buys the ALO Gateway & Passport options, and why wouldn't you) and although topology varies somewhat between...

I'm feeling the upgrade-itis itch and I'm thinking about getting a tube amp for some extra listening pleasure.   As I'm a poor student, a large amount of my listening is done through spotify (on the highest quality it does... yes I know it's only 320kbit/sec) while I build up a respectable...

Hi there,    I'm in the market for a pair of open (preferably), full-size headphones in the $1000-1500 region.   I've been happy with my pair of Sennheiser HD555s and my trusty Woo Audio WA7 amp for about eight months. Originally I was set on a pair of HD800s, but the more research I've...

Votes for Other Amps    - ALO Audio Pan Am: 3  - Bottlehead S.E.X.: 1 - Darkvoice 336SE: 1 - Schiit Asgard 2: 1 - Woo Audio WA7: 1   -----------------------------   I thought it would be fun/informative to see which amps are the most loved among the Head Fi community for driving the...

A Tale of Two Tube Amps       My normal gear preference and choice for many years has been solid state. I have held a curiosity, however, in tube-based audio gear and the possibilities and presentation that comes from it. It might be considered ironic that considering how endlessly...

Hi,   For the last several years, I've tinkered with various full-size speaker setups at home. I've now decided to jump into the world of headphones and am looking for a bit of advice.   In terms of the sound I'm going for, I like systems that are very linear and don't add too much of...

I'm looking to purchase a WA7 and saw that they do not come with an ac power cord. Can anyone recommend a good, quiet power cord that works with the WA7? Thanks for any help!!

I'm looking for a small-footprint "transportable" Amp/usb-DAC unit that will pair will with HD800s. Budget can extend, but I would love to keep it under the $1000 mark. Currently I am looking at: Woo WA7: Tube amp, very beautiful with a 32/192 - $900 (a little on the pricey side) ALO Pan Am...
