I've had two wa7 and the dac failed in one and the led light failed and the second one had a led light fail. Thought I was done with woo but I love the style of this amp. Wonder if they have fixed the failing led lights in the gen 3? Might be interested

I had a premature DAC failure in mine as well, and the Woo repair was far more expensive than buying a high end external DAC so that was my solution. I too love the look and the sound of the WA7, but the early failure has turned me off on buying any more Woo products.

@bobelton Thanks for posting the Ver 3 link. My opinion would be concern of integrating the power supply into the small cube Amp space, will be interesting to see how reliable that approach is, certainly not interested in an upgrade if that is what it is supposed to be. Many in this thread swear by the Tube PS and Ver 3 eliminates that option.

Version 3 of the WA7 could streamline my work setup a lot! DAC + headphone amp (that can handle IEMs) + speaker preamp looks like a damn good deal for under $1,500. I'm looking forward to hear more before I lay the cash down.

For new customers this seems like a nice update. For existing customers like me with version 2 and a tube power supply this is a not an option despite the enticing availability of balanced output.
