I will probably have to have one of those new power supplies, grrr. Are we going to be limited to the same tubes as we use with the wa7?
From the pics it looks like the same tubes...I will probably have to have one of those new power supplies, grrr. Are we going to be limited to the same tubes as we use with the wa7?
But new power supply with tubes can make it even better
Power supply uses 12AU7 tubes so their direct replacements shouldn't be a problem. I tried Jan Sylvania 5814A and PM-1 had THAT bass depth and extension so i want them now while I no longer own WA7
I found the internal DAC to be aggressively edgy on the trebles.I am completely satisfied with the Dac in the Wa7. I have previously owned a Uber Bitfrost, ALO Pan Am, and Audioengine D3 (surprisingly good) so thats what I am comparing it to. Maybe down the road I will try another dac with it but for now its pretty darn good.
if anyone loved the WA7 DAC a lot! just like me, then X-Sabre is the right upgrade, same sound, musical on the mids, more treble energy, and 100 times smoother ...
I noticed more power in music dynamic range and bass depth..
Correct it was not quantity it was the same musical piece with a greater sense of authority in size and those other attributes..Could you expand on what you mean by "bass depth"? Are you referring to perceived extension, control and a greater sense of dynamics? I assume you're not simply talking about bass quantity.
