Here are a couple of pics. I need at least a few days of break in before any opinion. I do really like the WA7/tp very much already. I just wanted to see if I could get a bit more out of the purchase. It is probably the best sounding system I have owned. And for only 10% of the cost of my last full system.

Congrats mjock. the WA7 is awesome indeed! - what you said makes me curious to know what your last system was that cost 10 times the WA7/tp !? 
 
Happy Listening,

Hi Jeb,
 
The system was a Rogue Athena (then a Tortuga which gave me the transparency I wanted), a pair of Ncore mono amps, a pair of Salk HT 3's (by the way Salk makes some very nice speakers), some Wywires silver balanced and regular interconnects as well as USB and speaker wire, Triode Wire Labs power cord. A tricked out Windows Server 2012 OS, with JPlay, and Highend-AudioPC, along with a very tweaked out Buffalo III Dac.  What do you think?

Oops I forgot a lot of time positioning the speakers so the I got the most out of my system in addition to about $3000 retail of room treatment.

Impressive, is what I think.  I looked and those speakers look magnificent!  I hope for something like that one-day.
 
Well your Woo & T1s certainly save on space.  You've obviously owned and heard some very fine equipment which reflects very well on the WA7.    Look forward to hearing how you get on with the new umbilical in due course. 
 
Jeb.

Yes the space has made for a very happy dear wife. She let me do do all the room treatment with only a few frowns. And I must say it is much more spacious now it that room.

That's a cool looking setup you got mjock3 really like that cable, maybe after you've spent some time listening you'll let know of the improvements it's made..

Hoping to post an update later this week. I took a while to break the new cable. Then I needed to break in a shorter Woo cable (still doing that now) so that it was an even comparison. Right now I will say RAL cable is an amazing upgrade. Highly recommended.

  What's an equivalent external DAC to the one inside the WA7? What other dacs would be considered an upgrade from the stock internals?

There are many dacs that would be considered an upgrade. Considering the WA7 doesn't do DSD, a lot of DSD-capable dacs would be considered an "upgrade" in my opinion.
 
If you're interested in a DSD dac, ted_b has a dac database up on Google docs that he's shared a link to: DSD DAC Database

I've never really used the D/A mode on my WA7. I just recently started to use it with my new Sceptre S8's + Temblor T10.
The T10 is the sub controller, has balanced inputs. I bought a balanced DAC but it won't be here for a few weeks.
The T10 also has RCA unbalanced inputs that I'm using from the WA7. I get a low analogue noise hum. Is this normal? I assume it is because it's not balanced, and that's the main reason to use balanced inputs. I just want a second opinion.
