Seem to have narrowed it down, purely from web research, to these three:
Woo Audio WA8, WA11 or Ifi Diablo.
Whilst I may be able to find someone willing to demo a Diablo, being in the UK rules out listening to either of the Woo Audio prior to purchase.
Also, importing the WA units is an unknown from the point of view of import taxes and charges.
So, for easy availability, Diablo wins.
Diablo may also play better with more headphones than, say WA8?
On the other hand, folks have recommended the WA8 as having great synergy with the Verite Closed and, I understand that Zach actually used this unit to demo the VCs.
Also, in reality, it would be only the VCs that would require a portable set up for me. So these are likely to be the only HPs used with the chosen portable amp/DAC as I am happy with my Elites/C3XR for home use.
Has anyone heard the VC with either WA11 or Diablo for comments on the pairing?
If not, could you Zach comment on potential partnerships, or lack of, from specs?
