Which one? I'll be using it for every mid-fi can(up to Hifiman HE-500. Other then that, I won't be going any higher, any cans lower than that; apply them to helping me) I want the most tubey sound. TUBE TUBE TUBE! I have a ODAC for a DAC.

Neither for the HE500. Those amps are OTL and are best suited for high impedance headphones, and the HE500 is low impedance.

I have a O2 too. I should've mentioned this will be mainly used with a Beyer DT880 600 ohm.

I've had both the WA3 and Valhalla, and the Valhalla is the better amp.

Over the Valhalla?

 

[hodgjy]

Depends on the sonic signature you're looking for.  What are you looking for?

I should've said, I want it the complete opposite of my O2. So basically tubey. warm, and smooth. Well, thanks for all the help, hodgiy! WA3 it is.

I think the OP may have had the answer he wanted but I'm curious if anyone else has heard both...

 

[Dubstep Girl]

wa3 for the beyers.

 

[CockatooDude]

What would someone recommend for the Senn HD 700? The Woo Wa3 or the Valhalla? Or maybe even the Lyr? I like treble heavy sound that isn't extremely smooth.

Any updated thoughts about the difference between the two.  If so please explain what you like and don't like about either.  I appear to be a beyer lover at the moment....  currently using the DT990.
 
 
Thanks for your thoughts.  OOK
