makes I really enjoy all to make of all of his in product line some of the best designs and durability really solid solid feeling for the product is just really heavy you feel really well built this right here is what you may have seen before the wa seven and silver this is a solid block of glass on top here that helps diffuse the heat and dragon and just really elegant design with that when I think they have it running right here from the with a camera connection kit from the app from an ipad so they can also be used as a source you can see is plugged right there in the back in the USB here we have the wa seven but also with the wa seven as you can see TP that's the tube power supply so they've been running here to a pair of LCD X's is the LCD X I thought it was just the X this whole time I've been calling it something wrong over here we have the WDS one odds the deck that also complements the sea transport we saw earlier in black connected to a Sony source running I've reviewed this one myself I really really enjoy it a little extra power over the w/ei 6 this is the WA 6se excellent yeah this is the stock too but you can also get this Sofia up to upgrade that's a pretty fun so a really great am running single-ended to a pair of LCD threes this is the WA to single-ended headphone amplifier once again is transport but you can see that you know wide variety of
