Came today easy setup. Input 2 bypass the amps volume controls so I can use my own pre amp. Not too difficult to even out the two amps by their volume even though they aren't attenuators.
Big improvement over WA5. I don't get how no gain is needed like the other amps.
I have and it is not a great pairing unless you have a means of volume control by way of a pre amp (this is beautiful) or software (not so good IMHO). Setting Qutest to 1 volt output helps but Qutest does its best at three. WA6 sounds it’s best with volume set around 1200 up to 1300. Not easy with the Chord. I expect the new Mojo 2 would be an outstanding pairing…
Don’t known if they do this close to their home base but when they travel they sell the show pieces off at a reasonable discount. Been there and done that - a win all around. Get there early as they sell fast. If you strike a deal pick the unit up near end of show and enjoy!

Yes, in fact I now leave mine set there because I have a Chord Anni and 2 volts is the maximum input allowed. Check your manual for setting it but the gist of it is during the power on startup cycle press both balls, together repeatedly, until they glow green. At that point you are set to two volts… From there you can forget it because Qutest holds the last setting you gave it for voltage output.

The only advantage that I can think of is the ability (need) to turn the volume knob further clockwise. On some h/p/a, this mitigates / eliminates the chance of channel volume imbalance. (I have never had this issue with any Woo h/p/a.)

That makes sense for harder to drive planar...I've actually never needed to go past ~2 o'clock with WA6
Was just curious if anyone has used the Qutest (or other DAC) at 3V output into the WA6 (vs default 2V Qutest) and what, if any, sound impact that might have.
