I have recently bought an Onkyo C-S5VL SACD player and WOO WA6 with EML 274B rectifier (about 2 weeks). My Headphone is HD-800. Today I decided to for no good reason try the headphone jack on the Onkyo which has internal amplification (with actual volume knob for headphone out). To my surprise going aback and forth I could not discern major difference between Onkyo and Woo. I tested these on several 24 bit recordings that I have.

I also tried my Denon receiver headphone out but this time the sound was simply horrid.

Is something wrong with my setup? Or Onkyo internal amplification that good. This post is by no mean to criticize WA6. I am just trying to get some clarification.

A wizard did it.

:popcorn:

Sell your WA6. And also who cares.

Probably dust but could be a bias supply issue. Unplug the headphones while this is going on and if it is still present after unplugging then it is a dust issue.

Every once in a while, a component has a decent internal amplifier. You win.

This is so exciting

Does this look swollen to you?

I'm drinking a diet soda, but I really would prefer to be drinking a soda with delicious sugar in it.

My favorite pick-up line.

My tv in the living room has a better picture than the one in the bedroom. Which one should I watch?

If you have to go to bed, the one in the bedroom;

if you have to live...

Jack Woo will arrive at your home shortly to reclaim the WA6. Ignore his tears.
