Hail all,
Am looking to move up a little bit with my headphone set up (mainly utilizing my Sennheiser HD-800) and need a few opinions.
My budget at this point of time is anything under five grand.
My direct previous (and now sold) headphone amplifier was the Musical Fidelity X-CAN V8P with X-PSU V8.
Had pondered going towards the M1 HPA, but eventually decided for something a tad more exotic.
I admit I haven't really done all that much research yet, but am mainly zoomed in on the Apache by RSA and the WA5-LE by Woo.
Source is a Bel Canto DAC3.5VB with VBS-1 which is getting music via the USB LightLink from my computer.
Have read a fair bit about these two amps, but not much in terms of direct comparisons.
If I go for the Woo I will opt in for all permanent upgrades, but I will leave the tubes as standard-issue for the time being, it does mean however that the Woo will end up costing almost a grand more than the RSA.
So, what's the opinion of you guys and girls? Anything else I should take a look at as well?
Cheers!
