Does anyone have any recent experience with the WA5/WA5-LE? I'm considering it as my next H/P/A (among others). Will it be a significant upgrade from my WA6-SE's?

I used to own the WA5-LE v1. Never heard the WA6-SE but when I was buying and amplifier I compared the WA5-LE to the WA22 because I was wanting to go fully balanced. Based on what I heard and Jack’s recommendation I picked the WA5-LE over the WA22.
I supposed the v2 is better with more power than the v1 had.
It should be no difference in sound since the design of the WA5 is single ended not balanced. My bet is that the XLR inputs are just for convenience and not impacting performance.

It could be the RCA output of your DAC is inferior to the XLR output. My DAC manufacturer explicitly states that the RCA output is the lesser in quality.

In most cases you are correct because the negative is the same collage as the positive but with inverse polarity. In my case the XLR outputs have a potentiometer where I can adjust the output voltage.
