nah only using the EH Tubes, mixing these wont make the sound better  

 

[hydesg]

this game is too expensive.
Am going to order the silver widow cable (not sure if it will improve the phones further).
Surprisingly, my new HD800 does not sound as trebly as described in other threads, bass is deep and mids are full.
 
Anyone paired the WA7 with a Schiit Gungnir? Heck, I might even just buy the ALO studio 6 / WA22 next week.
 

 

 

[Shini44]

deep bass with the stock tube? wasn't the stock tube with tight bass? or was it flat? how was the upgraded tubes with these cans?

 

[hydesg]

im using it with the EH gold pins currently.
 
The HD800 is fresh out of the box.bass is tight and deep.
 
Besides, the HD800 comes with a free ifi iCAN headphone amp (dont know what to do with it)

Just sell it

Ummm.. Cost is 2x WA7 plus add WA2 in the future.

Naim Dac-V1 should be end game DAC since it costs as much as WA7

That's why I'm saying it better be end game DAC for such money. I just happy with my current setup which cost me as much as WA7 while I'm curious if Meridian Director can beat DacMagic Plus

  Awesome, yes! Endgame for an HD800 or LCD-3, probably not

You've listened to the WA7/e20 combo then?

 

[hydesg]

is it crazy to have both LCD2 and HD800 for the WA7?
Just placed an order from headamp.

Nothing is crazy in the world of HeadFi

  and i though that the WA7 is enough for the hungry HD800!! GOD!! people have to spend a fortune that worth the HD800 10 times just to be able to enjoy it!!  its a big joke tbh..... i think there is better options.... 

 
My WA7 sounds fine on my HD800's. 
 
Particularly with the upgraded tubes (which I tried last night). 

 

[MickeyVee]

You don't have to spend a fortune.  The thing to note is that the HD800 scale way, way up.  Stop when you're happy. I've enjoyed the HD800 with Bifrost Uber/Lyr, to the WA7 and now have moved to the Naim DAC-V1.  I also have the Schiit Vali which is fabulous with the HD800.  Pick your poison and enjoy!

Tube life? 
 
How many hours should we be looking at for the tubes in this puppy?
