Hi everyone
Ive just been reading bits and pieces through this forum and thought Id ask whats on my mind.
I am thinking of getting a new Woo WA5 LE with upgraded internals / Takatsuki tubes and most importantly an added pre out because I want it to one day be used as a pre alongside a Metrum Pavane DAC.
Just wondering what you guys think of
1) Upgrading the internals and whether that actually improves the sound quality
2) Regarding the pre out function - Should I get a WA5 or WA5LE? I figure why spend more when I plan to use a power amp with it anyway.
I was wondering whether anyone has had experience with WA5 as a power amp and whether it works well. For me one of the main reasons im considering the Woo is not just that its a good headphone amp but also because I can use it as a pre amp in another system. But will only buy it if it can do both hasslefree / and that it doesnt introduce any noise or hiss etc. I guess what Id like to also know is that using as a preamp, if it is able to impart its sound signature into the circuit fairly well or not.
Looking forward to your expertise.
Regards
