It ain't pretty but it sure sounds amazing. Headphones are Susvara, 1266 TC and Verite Closed.

Next steps are probably a PS Audio Stellar Powerplant 3, another amp (WA33, CFA3 or maybe buying again the Ferrum stack), and speakers.
@orrm I wonder how do you find pairing Rockna WaveDream with Enleum?

@orrm I wonder how do you find pairing Rockna WaveDream with Enleum?
I really like this chain, I think the Rockna balances the Enleum really nicely. It did tone down the bass which I need to get used to but I think it makes it a bit more accurate and still has plenty detail, perhaps just a bit less boomy and massive.
Stage size compared to the Spring 3 that it replaced is a tad smaller (less width) but better height and depth and instrument separation and placement is top notch.
Generally speaking I think the Rockna was an upgrade over the Spring so it's a bit unfair comparison and I haven't had much experience with other DACs in this caliber.
With the Spring and Enleum I felt the Susvara was a bit too smooth and relaxed and I feel the Wavedream compliments it well to a more overall balanced sound signature.

Those are relatively first impressions as from my experience it takes me more time to get a full picture of a new DAC in my system. And it also changed a bit with the introduction of the Aries G1 instead of the Node it replaced..

Nothing too fancy but it’s all I need!

which amp do you listen to more, Woo or Ampsandsound
They sound completely different. The Red october is extremely tubey and the wa33 is more solid state sounding. I listen to them both just as much lol

This may be insane: could Red October be used as a preamplifier to WA33?

And that is what I call a happy marriage. :)

From memory did you used to own the tt2 and empys but had to sell one or both?

and now you’ve upgraded and returned.

enjoy :)

Sir, you have got the memory of an elephant! :) 🐘

I did indeed sold a TT2 a couple of years ago. I owned quite a few amps/DACs/headphones since then though.
