Yeah if you buy a brand new stock Wandla it'll have the voltage divider. If the dealer has old stock it wont
I think almost no one had old stock at that time. Got new one 👍

If anyone wants a particularly good song to try the spatial enhancement with, give this a go: https://song.link/gb/i/1710738926

My Wandla should arrive tomorrow. Stock for now but planning to build around it so the GS firmware, dual output Hypsos, and even Oor are all on the table. Current system includes HD800S, Clear OG, and LCD-x, through a Leben Cs300sx when I want some romance, and through an a90d when I am working. Speakers are Dynaudio Heritage Special with Sub6.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for their helpful impressions and input, and to @GoldenSound for his comprehensive review. You are legitimately 1 of 1 in this space.

Has anyone tried DSD/HQplayer on the wandla? I can only seem to get it to do DSD if I check DSD over DOP. I can do DSD fine on Roon(not sure if Roon uses DOP?)

Edit: The way to fix this is to remove Wandla from Roon and just have it run HQPlayer

I use HQPlayer with the Wandla, but no DSD - PCM up to 768, and other settings according to GoldenSounds recommendations 😄 can look them up later

Specific recommendations for Wandla or @GoldenSound ’s general HQP recommendations?

I asked in another forum what the equivalent HQP filers were to be close to the Wandla ones if you wanted to take them to 768kHz and @jlaako said their filters are finely tuned for Wandla, but closest are: poly-sinc-lp/poly-sinc-mp for apodising linear and minimum phase respectively and poly-sinc-gauss for gauss filter.

Thanks, that is also very good to know! But yes, specific hqp settings when using it with the Wandla, which included using PCM, but I’ve deviated from his preferred filters because I found them a bit too detailed and … maybe sterile.

I missed them, could you share or link to them for me to try?

I don't think I can link to a comment on a facebook post in a private group, but to quote him:
my personal recommendation would be 768khz, sinc-Mx or Sinc-L (try both see which you like best), 32 bit TDPF dither

Sorry if this has been asnwered before. Wondering if I could have two amps connected to the Wandla at the same time, one via XLR and one via single-ended outputs. There is no output switch in the UI.
