To clarify.... New pre-orders from here on will ship in early February. The first batch of pre-orders is slated for mid-December. The $100 deposit will secure the special pre-order price.

We have redesigned the chassis and internals to greatly improve EVERYTHING from the prototype shown at trade shows.

@HiFiGuy528 Do you have the final specs?

I am happy to be wrong about the shipping for the earlier preorders! Will we be notified soon regarding paying the balance? Thanks!

Nice to see Woo putting the time in to get this right, very excited about the redesign. Glad I got my order in early. Can't wait to hear how this pairs with the Utopias.

I liked the physical design of the previous version well enough, but I can't tell so much about the new one based on the one pic. Will be interested in seeing more formal product shots sooner rather than later to decide if I'm gonna go in on it during the pre-order time window.

Yes, we will email an invoice for the remaining balance one week prior to shipping. Thanks for being patient.

Thanks, looking forward to receiving mine in the not too distant future.

I like the final chassis design. I think the rounding on the top side is a nice touch.

Also, excited to hear that the final production version is superior to the trade show version.

Won't be long now before those of us can start to enjoy our music out of the WA11.

@HiFiGuy528 can you shed any light on how it is “greatly improved”? In terms of power? Sound character? Battery life? Weight? Size? I am excited about this product and really want to have more information. Is the dac still the same?

If the first batch is going to ship in mid December, then the final spec should be in production now. Why is Woo Audio still withholding spec to the public? I would think by releasing the spec to public will only increase interest and business.

Mike I am getting the new iPad Pro with usb C output, do you know if I can connect directly from this new IPad Pro to WA11 through the USB C input on the WA11? If so, do you know if the WA11 comes with a USB C to USB-C cable included?

I can give you my experience with my new iPad Pro with USB-C and a competing well known high end highly respected portable DAC/amp (cough). I can’t speak for Woo but in terms of the iPad spitting out the correct data, a USB-C cable out of the iPad works fine. My DAC/amp has a coloured LED in a little window which changes colour depending on bit/sample rate. As I played music with different bit/sample rates from my iPad Pro the LED changed colour accordingly. Music sounded great. I assume the same will be true of the WA11 (which I’m also interested in).

That helps and thank you.

I was just on the Woo Audio Instagram and saw this short video.

Just noticed it looks like they did some cool mill work on the volume pot/knob. I like what I see!

Does enough power pass through the USB-C data connection to charge a connected device?
