  Hi guys, im about to buy a brand new high end headphone setup and would like feedback about if there is anything i should know about it before i buy. Well, here it is:
Woo Audio WA5
Benchmark DAC1
Beyer T1
Clearaudio Concept
 
So, whatcha guys think?

Also, if the turntable is my source, do i need a dac?

Are you going to be running speakers?  Otherwise, the WA5-LE is the same amp without speaker-outs. 
 
You don't need a DAC unless you somehow manage to procure the super-rare digital vinyl record albums.  You WILL need a phono preamp, however. 
 
What's with the stupid cable? 

 

[Brandon311]

What does a phono preamp do and why do i need it? I know, noob question.

 

[Brandon311]

Oh yeah, and i am getting the wa5le, not wa5

 

[Brandon311]

Nvm, figured it out. So, my new setup would remove the dac and replace it with a transcendent sound phono preamp. So, how is that?

What cartridge will you be using?

*sighs*

At least you replaced the HM801 with a benchmark dac. That was a good move.

INB4 What's a cartridge?

Btw, i took out the dac and replaced it with phono preamp
