ah yes, that is my setup: WA22/Woo DAC/HD800, fully balanced all the way through....I have found head-fi nervana.....
There is some great reviews, but some bad ones too. The bad seems to come from people Looking at it and saying its has cheap connectors. Other bad ones say they have listened and not impressed. I figure if they are using it as the ref dac/Amp at shows it must good. Maybe not 10 k good but what a niche market that is I do not care.
I have one on order since nov last year paid in full just waiting
I was at the NYC audio show. At the senn
Booth and I asked where is my unit.
Here is his reply units are boxed and getting ready
For shipment. Should be about two weeks or so
I laughed and said that is what I heard from oct last year.
He said only a few units have shipped worldwide for review
He also new nothing as far as specs FOr the unit
The unite they had setup poorly as it was non flax recordings
Pure garbage I commented on it and asked can I give him something
I have to use. He said yes but it had to be on a ad chip. I did not have one to give him
So in the end I walked away hoping it will be good and although I have read
Good reviews it did not boost my confidence.
On another note woo audio had the hd800 set up on a wa22 with there dac
And I must say perfection. For the hd800 I bought the amp and dac.
I did listen to the hd800 on everything else woo had and only the fully bal wa 22
Met what I was looking for and surpassed.
That's all
Stock tubes . I asked him that . I asked what the better tubes would do and I got the usael .
Better clarity, sound stage , more musicality , and more adjectives I can,t remember .
I know this it sounded fantastic , even with IEM ,s at low impedance . I'm picking it up at woo in queens tomorrow . And yes I will have my own music and sources and will ask to here the better tubes to possible here a difference that I might like.
I do beleave it would be different but maybe not better to my likening .
I will do a post after burnin and all.
