Hello guys,   I'm quite new to headphone world (while experimented in hifi), and want to go for a tube amp for a HD650.   Reading this forum a lot, I started to select one, and then basically choose: - Schiit Lyr, - Woo WA3, - Woo WA6 (or WA6-SE), - eventually Ray Samuel Raptor...

I am looking for an amp/DAC and I have a budget of about, hmm. Lets just say.. $1000 would be a very nice budget, but I can definately go over, if worth it. At $1000 we have some good choices, like the WA7 and Lyr/Bifrost. But hey, go over by all means.    I'm looking for a amp/DAC that will...

I am about to purchase a pair of Audeze LCD 3s and I need to pick a dac/amp unit that would complement them.  I am looking @ the Woo audio WA7 fireflies or the Mytek Stereo 192-DSD.  Which do you think would pair better with the LCD-3s.   I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me...

I am looking for compact and good  very nice sounding one box solution for office rig. Was trying out Burson Conductor which didn't work out that well due to size and mostly the sound, even liked my Glite with DPS better. Is there anything better available that doesn't take a lot of space on...

So i made the jump..coming from nowhere (iphone + sony MDR-1R) to a WooAudio WA7 + Sennheiser HD800. I still cannot believe the quality this setup delivers vs what i was used to. The detail of the music, the separation vocals/instruments etc. Wow, i was not expecting so much of an improvement -...

Since receiving my Wa7 there has been issues regarding drop outs and crackles for about 4 seconds every 30 minutes or so. The issue appears to cause the sound to lag in regards to any video content that I am using. I am using Windows 8 and have updated the drivers supplied by Woo. It's slightly...

A Tale of Two Tube Amps Woo Audio WA7 and ALO Audio PanAm         My normal gear preference and choice for many years has been solid state. I have held a curiosity, however, in tube-based audio gear and the possibilities and presentation that comes from it. It might be considered ironic...

Hello, this is my first post here, although I've done a lot of reading.  Here is my situation:   This is my first real foray into the hifi world.  I currently have no real equipment to speak of, other than a low/middle end home theater system, through which I play all of my music (mostly from...

Hi Everyone.  I've been skimming through various threads and noticed that there aren't any threads specifically discussing preferences between the Sovtek 6C45 and upgraded Harmonix 6C45 tubes.  I've only had my WA7 (paired with my HD800s) for a week now and think I am going to stick with the...

Hello there everyone, been sometime since I last posted.  However, after finally breaking down, and getting a good sale on Amazon, finally picked up a pair of Sennheiser HD700s.  So far I am thoroughly enjoying them, they are HANDS DOWN, the most comfortable headphones I have owned, feels like I...

On some Macs with USB 3.0 running OS X Mavericks 10.9, WA7 and WA7d Fireflies can occasionally lose connection to the Mac.  If this has happened to you, please give the following a try.   ***** be sure that the tubes are installed correctly.  There should not be much if any movement when you...

I was running a γ2 with a Bijou SE (http://www.cavalliaudio.com/diy/bijou/main.php?page=overview), however I am now amp-less as I let go of the Bijou. Headphones being driven are Sennheiser HD 650s. At first I was planning on keeping the γ2 and getting a WA6, however I am also entertaining the...
