Do you keep the WA22 on the low or high impedence selection and why? I've noticed the WA22 manual is lacking in any real detail on what changing the setting does and which impedences should be used with certain headphones.

I'm down to these two DAC's:  The Audio-gd Reference-5 or the Wyred4Sound DAC 1 Both around the same price.  Which are the better paring with said amp and phones ( Woo WA22 + T1 & LCD2)?

Which one is a better fit for high impedance headphones - Senns / Beyers?   Which ones are a better fit for low impedance headphones - Grados?   Which ones are a better fit for HE-500 / LCD2?   Does the Little Dot offer a better price per performance bargen?     Is the Woo WA22...

Hello.   I am just wondering what amp will you choose and why? Currently I have Luxman P-200 and I am very happy with it's sound but want something more...   P.S. I am planning to use RCA inputs of WA22 and I will order all upgrade tubes with it (I suppose it does not have any part...

Looking to get into tubs amps.  The two I'm looking at are the title of the thread.  I have not heard either, so I'm coming to the owners of each for a discussion.     I'm aware that the MMM is a hybrid.  However, what are the sonic sigs I can expect from each and what would be the...

I want to have an amplifier for my Audeze LCD-3,and I think WA22 is really good -looking and love it very much,but I'm confused that whether WA55 could work well with LCD-3?  The output of WA22 is only 1.5W at 32ohm.Please give me some suggestions.Thank you!

Cavalli Liquid Fire vs HeadAmp GS-X vs Woo Aduio WA22, WA5le vs Eddie Current Balancing Act vs Audio GD Master 8 vs RSA Dark Star vs SPL Phonitor   Owned one?  Multiple?  There are some major differences between these amps, but if you had to choose one to live with what would it be? Post...

Just received my new Woo WA22 and tried to removed the Neutrick 4 pin XLR Balanced Stereo Plug and its stuck.. How do I unplug it? I'm new to balanced and the other plugs I see have the release on female end (Amp End)

Hi folks,   My WA22 is being delivered tomorrow, and though I sincerely love the sound profile of the Woo WDS-1 DAC with my WA6-SE, I am looking for a second DAC to introduce some variety to my music listening.   I was hoping you WA22 owners might let me in on what DAC's you have found...

This post is the index for the  comparisons.  Any and all comparisons done will get a link posted here to the proper post.  And here we go...   Ended up buying and comparing the HeadAmp GS-1 w/ DACT, Woo WA22, Trafomatic HeadOne, Cavalli Liquid Fire and AMB Balanced B22.  Rest of the system...

Hello current setup is a Burson Soloist / Burson DA-160.  Good transparency and resolution with the LCD-3 but it seems like there is not much low end impact that everyone talks about.  The Soloist is supposed to have enough power for these but sometimes it does not feel like it.  Im not 100%...

Hi,   Which would be a better option:   1. upgrade the internal parts of my WA22  2. sell it and buy a wa5 with the upgrade options?   Have anyone heard both amps? Is the WA5 a big upgrade from the wa22 or more of a side step? I am not sure how big of an improvement i will get...

I am in the process of selling off my amps and speakers from a high end system and spending the proceeds on hopefully a very high end headphone system. The reason for this is due to my changed circumstances and moving to a much smaller dwelling, that will not house my present system(without...

Hi everyone,   I want to buy a fully balanced tube amplifier for my high-rez-source to HD800 system.  I have done a huge amount of thread-grazing but nearly every search I make leads me to long discussions of tube arcana (I want in on those conversations later) .  And so, to save myself...

Let me hear your opinions. I haven't heard either, but must go with either option. I will be using either HD800 or Beyer T1. I used to own LCD-2 but they were too uncomfortable for my liking and Soundearphones is exchanging them for either the T1 at a equal trade or the HD800 for $100-$200. Let...

I recently purchased an Audio Note Oto Phono SE Signature and noticed that--even with it powered off--my Woo WA22 sounds better when playing CD's. Something about the higher quality line stage improved the sound. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

hi guys i'm in the building process of my first high-end headphone rig. My target is to beat my Speaker Setup in every way. It's a 40k+ US$ system, so listening to music is already on a certain level (this is the speakers rig: http://houbi.heimkino.info ) What i have so far is a ton of...

Hi.  I'm new here, and just getting into headphones in general.   I'm interested in the Woo Audio Wa22 for my Sennheiser hd650.  The Wa22 has one set of unbalanced inputs, and one set of balanced inputs. I understand that the source/input needs to be truly balanced to get the best from the...

I got my hands onto a pair of HD800 from my friend and i'm looking for an amp. I am currently using the Schiit Lyr + Bifrost combo so I am assuming that I probably wont need to change my DAC along with the amp.  I've heard my friend's WA22 with the HD800 and it sounds absolutely stunning with...

Gear: DAC: Grace Design m903 Tube Amp: ? Headphones: Sennheiser HD800 Single Ended Candidates: DNA Sonett 2 Eddie Current Zana Deux SE Woo Audio WA2 Other? Balanced Candidates: DNA Stratus Eddie Current Super 7 Woo Audio WA22 Other? Amp Criteria: maximize bass performance, sonic...

Hi,   I had an earlier post last week where I was asking about tube amps for an HD800.  But I have been thinking a bit more broadly about it and considering also solid state or hybrid amplifiers as well. The thought for a tube amp was because so many experienced HD800 users preferred them, and...

Hi all, Has anyone received the Woo Audio WDS-1? It's high on my list as well as the Wyred Dac-2. Thanks

Hi, I have heard the HD800s with my Grace Design m903 and i thought they sounded great (no reference to compare to). I overwhelmingly see Headfi participants recommend tube amps for the Sennheisers. If I wanted to just use it as a DAC and buy a tube amp for the HD800s what amps would recommend...

I'm looking for a good amp for D7000...budget is below 1500$. Thanks for help!
