I have noticed that a number of posters remarked on the positive feedback regarding the RWA Isabellina HPA. Truth be told, i can't think of a single negative thing to say about it at all. It really is hard to imagine Vinnie putting out a better version of the HPA for the price. The whole package...

Miguel Vinnie and I talked about the Wadia i170 and upgrading the back panel of the HPA last week before we left on our trip and i am thinking of doing just that. what i really like about doing it is the added flexibility the HPA gains in doing this. You're right about having to upsize the...

I know I am getting to be a hard core headphone listener when I took my Red Wine Audio Isabellina HPA and Sennheiser HD800s on my recent four day weekend trip to see family. I found myself listening whenever I had time to myself and before falling alseep at night. I am so hard core that I...

As i sit here typing this post i am continuing to listen to my Sennheiser HD800's throughly enjoy my Red Wine Audio Isabellina HPA amp and i just can not imagine wanting to ever own any other DAC/Amp. Nadda! My HPA has over five hundred hours on it now and the soundstage just as it did when I...

I am also an owner of a Isabellina HPA and i have got to say that after 400+ hours of burn in and of listening that i have too found my nirvana in headphone amps. my previous two solid state amps were the Grace Design M902 and the Lavry Engineering DA11. Both of those amps were on opposite ends...

I have had my Isabellina HPA(i refer to my Isabellina HPA as "Izzy"for short)now for just over two weeks and it has about 200+ hours on it thru the supplied usb cable. i continue to listen thru my Sennheiser HD800. i also have a pair of HD600s but i prefer the soundfield of the HD800s much, much...

i would say that i have about 100+ hours on my isabellina hpa now. i have been listening to the shmcd(japanese version) set of led zeppelin and as the hours go by i have found the isabellina hpa to be getting more precise in detail from the bottom end to the top end. drums, guitars, keyboards...

I am very satisfied with the usb cable that Vinnie sent along with the Isabellina HPA. I don't want to start an oem versus custom cable war here. to each their own when it comes to choosing cables. enough said on that subject. i'd rather put my money into the Isabellina, as i desired it to be...

I've got about 40 hours on the Isabellina HPA now and i have been listening thru my HD800 off and on during that burn in time. at the moment i am listening to led zeppelin second album and the song is moby dick. what really got my attention was the drum solo portion of the song. the clarity of...

Vinnie, First off....Kudos to you for a great headphone amp! i have two sennheiser headphones, the HD600 and the HD800. I have only listened thru the HD800 and my initial impressions are extremely favorable. From the moment i plugged in my HD800 and started listening i was like 'WOW'! Right...

usaudio you didn't oversell the da11 at all. i think you added your humble opinion to the mix and that was important to me. speaking of the hd800. i have had mine since shortly before canjam thanks to todd at ttvj and i can say that i think you will be extremely happy with them. i found them...

usaudio your enthusiam for the da11 and my continued conversation with todd over at ttvj convinced me to pull the trigger and buy one. i should see mine next wednesday, as it will be coming straight from dan and his wonderful wife. btw, i spoke with dan's wife yesterday about the da11 and she...

usaudio thanks for the reply on the feet and dimensions. i was hoping to see that indepth review by jude on the da11. have you enjoyed the da11 enough to make it your one and only headphone dac? i personally don't mind the volume toggle switch. joe

dan I was looking around for the dimensions and weight of the DA11 and i couldn't find them in reading the pdf or your website. could you tell me what they are? also someone asked earlier about whether the unit comes with feet or not and i didn't see an answer if it does or not. thanks joe

Just so you guys know, there is a thread over in the alo section that talks about the upcoming Isabellina HPA. this is basically a Isabellina with the headphone amp, headpone jack out front, and a center mounted volume control. here is the link to the discussion...

krmathis, thank you as well for the warm welcome. 26,096 post......! wow! that is a lot of posts... i can only imagine what your knowledge level was before you can here and now after all those posts. i am also thinking of all the new friends you've made over that time. that is really pretty...

HeadPhoneAddict thanks so much for the welcome. i figured a while back that my wallet would just one day up and sue me for better living conditions. we are still in talks hoping to delay that very day. at least i hope i get to keep the cash and the one important card that will have a RWA charge...

Vinnie well i just could not wait any longer to write my first post. after viewing and reading on head-fi.org for as long as i can remember, i decided to officially become a registered member and now here i am. even though we have communicated through emails, i wanted to add my name to the...
