Hello dear friends
I am in a big dilema, after years of reading and lurking around i bought my Corda Opera some time ago and i like it. However i am dying to know how a GS-1 or a WA6SE sounds, where i live i cannot demo both units, it's pretty hard cos' all the gear i bought it was without hearing them, that sucks i know.
I think soon enough i will upgrade to an HD800 or to an Beyer T1 (one of them for sure) and in an distant future a PS1000 (maybe).
I want one single ended headphone amp which will drive all phones (low and high impedance) with authority and with a black background and good separation of instrument. My Opera has this qualities, however i want for now maybe a different sound.
My source will be a MHDT Havana which i don't think i will change it, i just like how it sounds a lot more than other DAC's i tried (including benchmark and lavry).
Which of them will suit me better, GS-1 or WA6SE??
Also the last thing, i'm pretty tight on the budget now, so i think 1100 $ will be max for me, that's a GS-1 with DACT or WA6SE in stock configuration.
I will be driving RS-1, DT880 and HD800 (or T1)
Thanks for helping killing my wallet
