The headphone stands are Rooms Audio FS White. The pairing is quite nice. Wavelight has such a great balance between analytical and fun that I wouldn’t change it for anything. Ok, maybe with the wavedream.Liked your Headphone stands ! How is Ferrum amp pairing with WL ?
U didn't ask me, but I've tried the WL and Ferrum and it is a vgood pairing. better thru xlr than rca. also, Ferrum stack sounds great with the full output from the WL ie no need for reduction in dac volume. I think i prefer the Ferrum with the WL over the May as the WL has a more "fun" tuning.
I am totally getting the HP stands !The headphone stands are Rooms Audio FS White. The pairing is quite nice. Wavelight has such a great balance between analytical and fun that I wouldn’t change it for anything. Ok, maybe with the wavedream.Oor is also a little bit on the fun side, but just a touch and with Susvara with its neutral tuning and amazing timbre it’s an inviting setup. Whenever I want to listen to music I know that I’m gonna have a good time and isn’t that what we all want?
Welcome to the club @lumdicks - I'm sure you will enjoy Rocka WL. If only it would be more compact I would keep it on my office desk, however due to dimensions I keep TT2 with M Scaler. I agree with your observation except for the warmth level: for me TT2 is a bit on colder side in comparison to WL. I suppose it really depends on the amp/cans pairing.
Just joined the club and complementing the WL with my M-scalered TT2. Comparatively the WL is more resolving but less warm than TT2, with better slam and imaging as well. Still in the first few hours of playing but I am already impressed by the tonality and technicality.
Can't go wrong with either if those options.Also any news on the Wavelight server? According to the Rocka Audio Facebook page, a post from mid-Feb 2022, states that WL server will also include an upsampling engine.
I'm in the market for a new DAC by the end of the year. At the moment the Weiss DAC501 4-channel and the Rockna WL & WL server my top picks. I believe the price of the WL & WL server would be on the same ballpark as the Weiss. I believe I'd be happy with either but this is assuming that Rockna can get the WL server out to the market by the end of the year. If not then I'll go with Weiss. But at the moment I'm keeping an open-mind.
People like Holo May DAC as well in the $5K category, especially it gets on steroids with HQP upsampler software. Audition all of them if you get a chanceAlso any news on the Wavelight server?

Holo sounds more like delta-sigma. And it require external upsampling engine, probably due to the hiding ladder defects with ultrasonic frequency scrambling. Many people like it, but it is not Rockna sound.People like Holo May DAC as well in the $5K category, especially it gets on steroids with HQP upsampler software.

My dealer in Hong Kong advised me that the WL Server is available for ordering when I got the WL DAC. Price quoted is similar between the two but I do not know whether its is true.Also any news on the Wavelight server?
