Very excited.

I'm kind of hoping it includes a DAC, but I won't really mind if it doesn't.. especially if it's more affordable than the WA7 series.

I asked WooAudio if this will work well with the LCD series. They said it works great with the LCD-3.

Also, this thread might be better placed in the Headphone Amps (Portable) forum. Although, I'm not sure if it really matters. :)

From WooAudio Facebook: "its the white 3D printed travel size tube amplifier."

So yes, their prototype is 3d printed.

It's Amp/DAC. Similar design as Analog Squared Paper amps... hopefully more affordable and easier to find.

It's got a DAC? I'm gonna be the first to place an order for this.

Yes, 32bit 192kHz DAC.  Works with Android and iOS with appropriate adaptor.  Drives HD800, T1 and LCD3 with ease and sounds amazing for an early prototype.

Any chance it will ship before Christmas?

Doubtful- I was speaking with them at length and they were shooting for mid 2015. They said it's very early in the design process at this point.
 
BTW worked perfectly with my One Plus One Android Phone running Poweramp - 192 KHZ 24 Bit FLAC files. I listened thru Sennheiser HD-800.....luscious, captivating sound......can't wait for more!

Hmm, that's probably for the better if the price will be closer to $2k like I hear. Gotta save up.
