They also announced a balanced SS amp with the power of the EF6 at half the price.

The pre-amp option is a switch on the back of the amp and an extra set of RCA outputs on the back...      Its pretty nice...   when you want to listen to headphones you put the switch for the front output ( headphones )  when you want to use the Woo as a pre-amp, flip the switch and the out-put is now out of the extra RCA outputs... to drive another amp or powered speakers...
 
A good upgrade option...
 

Just to add that the loop is always active, so one doesn't need to turn the Woo amp on for the signal to pass through if it's installed between the source and existing preamp (which is my case)

I wish I had known about this upgrade option. When did it become available?


 

That would be a question for Jack to answer...

This looks pretty dang interesting. I really like the modular, upgradable design, and fully balanced hardware. Thanks for sharing.

Those guys don't slow down do they?  Lots of new Schiit.

Well they did for awhile actually, evidently biz has been good with the Lyr and Bifrost, so they had to move into a bigger manufacturing space for greater capacity. Now that they will be able to keep up with demand watch out.
 
The "Spear of Odin" has pretty much eliminated the Audiolab from consideration for me, I can't wait for some listening impressions late in the summer. I probably won't shell out for the Anedio either, so it's down to this Schiit or the Woo WDS-1.

Seems like Woo is getting new dealers. I've seen the aussie one before, but the chinese is new to me

Wonder how the W4S units stack up.  There is also my favorite audio brand (Virtue) in the mix as they're doing a DAC this year too.  The Schiit unit certainly seems ready to beat anything at its pricepoint though, and I love the name.

i dunno if i wanna sell my k701s anymore,  i've been having so much fun with them tonight.
 
they sound like a blend between hd 800 and t1. they sound more open than they used to. perhaps cause im finally giving them some listening hours (over 100+ hours) compared to before when i only used them a few times...
 
 
hmm....
they look really cool too next to the WA6-SE/WA2.

 

[emremusic]

That's a coincidence because I was thinking of not going for the D7000's and sticking to the k701s.

  Sounds like there's more $$$ & fidelity to be had in those AKG's. Curiously, looking at your signature, did you go K702>K701 or the other way around?
 

 

[emremusic]

I'm sorry, I meant k702s. I've never owned the k701s. I either called them k701/or 702. I figure they are the same headphone anyways.

And I see you switched from Wa6se to 2359glenn... How do you like you new amp?

I'm trading off my Q701's to fund an HD800 for my WA2 that I'm going to buy.

 

[Dubstep Girl]

nice! 
 
i wish i could trade my RS1i, Pro 900, and K701 for a ps1000 or something. but those are hard to come by.
