Just purchased the HD800S and I am torn between these two amp/dac combos. I own a FiiO E17K at the moment, but I do not think it will be enough to drive the HD800S. What are your suggestions for me?

Have heard both but not with the 800S’s so not for sure.

Just my idea at the moment would think that the 800S would just be good with the brightest of the WA7 and then what ever after that.

I'd get something else. The WA7 doesn't sound anywhere near what its price suggests (even the WA7tp).

It's a tricky price range. The Questyle CMA400i and Audio-GD NFB-28.28 and NFB-28.38 are interesting, impressively built for the price with balanced class A amplification. The HD 800 S really scales up though.
