I have single ended sonett and lcd-2, and the pairing sounds fabulous.
I assume balancing adds another notch of performance...

Is it better than the Woo 6 combo because the OTL sonnet may not be as suited as the Woo transformer coupled amp. Curious

I don't have a LCD-2, but it does sings with HD800.

I really enjoyed the LCD-2 out of the Sonett as well.

I do think the Sonett is transformer-coupled.

yes, frank, the sonett is transformer coupled.  but, it has 120 ohm output setting, which closely resembles OTL...
i bought it hoping to drive the T1s with it.  but find that it doesn't have quite as much power as i had hoped.
hower, it is excellent with some of my other headphones...

The T1 and CSP-2 is magical and it plays the LCD2 well on everything except demanding classical at loud levels it has clipped. I am starting to think that the SS powerful amps would be best suited with wattage but the Little Dot should be able to handle the LCD2 because of power. The other alternative would be to go with a speaker  amp with a headphone input on rear like the Decware Taboo its 6W transformer amp with the 84 tubes but little too out of my budget right now. PS audio had very weak bass and dynamics were not the best either for demanding music.

Anyone knows the e-mail of dnaudio.com?. 
   I've submitted several e-mails to info@dnaudio.com but I get all them returned, as if the address does not exist.

Thanks,  I submitted an e-mail to this address. But, where did you get it?. It is not in the official Donalds page.

I received your mail. djnorth@earthlink.net is my long-time personal e-mail address. I'm surprised my info@dnaudio.com website address didn't work for you. I have it set to automatically forward to my earthlink account.

Has anyone here compared the DNA Sonett with either the Woo WA6, WA6-SE, WA2 driving the HD800 and/or T1?   

 

[jc9394]

I have compared balanced Sonett to a maxxed WA6 driving HD800.  I did not use the stock tubes at all, Sonett with Mullard GZ34 and DR, WA6 with Sophia and 6FD7.  Using those combos, I prefer the Sonett.  It is more dynamic and better bass extensions.  The Woo have slight edge on female vocal but not by much.

Hey Wuss, have you encountered any problems with the Sonett and LCD2 setup? not enough power perhaps? any clipping?
