Just received my HD800 (serial 26XXX) and really enjoying the combo with my WA7.

I have the same combo as yours since Christmas.
Do try the upgraded EH tubes if you have not done so

I just got them today as well .  Going to listen to stock for a bit and then switch to hear the difference.  What benefits do you see from the EH tubes?

I sold the amp. But the tubes make a big chNge for the better. It makes it more clearer and feh base more defined. It's well worth the 100 for the tubes. Also get a spair set too there is only so many to be had . No new stock . Get the ones from woo gold tips.

Congrats I just got mine as well, my WA7 will not be here for a couple weeks 

 They sound awesome to me in this not so awesome setup they are a little tiresome in this setup though. Come on WA7!!!

After giving my ears a nasty dose of tinnitus and noise-induced hearing loss using the hd800 with various amps, I've reverted to plugging them directly into my iphone 5 headphone jack. Works surprisingly well for me - the iPhone's 1v output drives the hd800 to 102 decibels, or way louder than I should be listening to it. Still need to eq the treble, though!

As mentioned before, I highly recommend getting the EH tubes if you can.  Completely refines the sound and detail retrieval more so with the HD800.

How is the WA5 for the HD800?

 

[ALRAINBOW]

I really thought it would not make any difference like wires . But wow it made an improvement right away. Easy to hear.

Oh yea! I'm not even going to put the stocks in at all, going straight for the EH upgrade.

WA7 sounds like a damn good price/performance dac/amp contender for HD800.. Should I abandon my plan of getting the WA2 and get the WA7 instead?
