Thanks for suggestion, I'm using wa22 as amp and I'm looking for a better DAC to power 800s, I'm using wds-1 right now.

I've connected with a couple local audiophiles and had one listening session. There's a new group forming with its first session in November. Here's a link...

Post by: randytsuch on 28 Sep 2016, 04:12 pm: Head fi has local meets in so cal, around once a year. If you haven't, you should join the so cal group at head fi.

But, TBH, it can be hard to listen at a big meet, lots of people and background noise.

I know we have members with HD800's here.

And you can get lots of DAC advice here, probably better to start a thread in the right circle.

I find it makes a big difference what you feed the DAC with too.

Junepy, welcome to AC, ACHipo, we seem to be on many of the same threads.
