Woo Audio introduces portable tube DAC-headphone amplifier

[EERecordist]

It is unlikely Woo Audio is in the ASR measurement hall of fame. Now they have a small tube DAC in your choice of colors.

$499. Not sure how you change the tubes.

They seem to have tried this before, bigger:

and have tube power supplies. From the website, this appears to have 2 miniature tubes of unknown type, then FET drive.

I assume these are real, but maybe they are hardfraudware. In the above photo, the tube internals look wrong and the filament illumination is in the wrong place!

Mods, feel free to move to snake oil forums.

Well that's certainly one of the sillier products I've seen released.

LOL could never buy from an outfit called Woo. It was hard enough buying a Schiit unit (which turned out to be nothing special either)
