get my wa11 today. It arrived 2 weeks ago, but today the time I can listen it. The sound seems very very good, despite no wa11 neither headphones (ether flow C) are burned up. Looks it is amazing device. Also listened with my campfire atlas - no any problems. I was afraid it won’t be good with sensitive iems and ordered ether for them, but it is good with both iem and headphones.

This seems to be the perfect closed back setup. How is it after burning up?

Hopefully, people do not burn up their new WA11...

Sorry, I guess burning in is the term. Keep your WA11 safe

I read in some reviews that iem would not be a great match on the WA11. Any feedback on this?

Here's Headfonia's review of the WA11:

Thanks for the link to the Headfonia's review, I am not too familiar with this reviewer-Linus style, but it is a glowing review.
Can Mike or Jack chime in as to the order status of the WA11? On Woo's website it states that shipping time is early May but I have not heard anything on my preorder from last November.

Went to a ENT doctor cause I think I have tinnitus only to find out I have “supernatural” hearing according to the doc. So I rewarded myself with some new toys.

I only brought my PP8 with me right now. Paired it with Cleo right away and it’s just pure bliss. Didn’t bring any DAP so I’m just listening from iPhone XS Max now but this WA11 is worth every penny.

Got mine the other day. Love it to bits. Probably at the level of a $1000 desktop rig, maybe more. Balance performance is superlative.
Having an issue though - sometimes when I insert a SE jack into the SE input the unit switches off and won't switch back on until plugged into power. Battery indicator is at the same level when switching back on so don't think it's the battery running out. Anyone else experiencing this?

Make sure of lowering the volume before switching headphones. It might be the unit going into protection mode or something.

I thought of that and it happened when I had the volume knob at zero as well. The frustrating thing is it is a relatively rare occurrence and might be hard to reproduce if I take it back to the shop. I'll shoot an email to Woo.

Finally mine arrived and enjoying it right now...

I just got this when switching headphones... I thought the unit died or something. Connecting the power solved it.

This is no good if you're using it as a portable. Good to know others experience this too. Might be some kind of overload protection.

Well, it's actually okay. We can use powerbank with standard USB-C cable (PD doesn't seem to work) or just simply connecting the phone to the charge port for a moment.

I think because it was meant as a portable device that they should've made sure it didn't happen. Doesn't happen on any other portable dac/amp I've used. Just very frustrating to have to rely on a powerbank or be near an outlet in a portable situation.

Anyone has recommendation for balanced DAC that is better than the one on WA11, with the footprint that is about the same size or smaller? DAP is also okay as long as there is DAC function. I'm thinking of A&K Kann Cube, which has two 9038 pro. I wonder if there is another alternative...
