The Woo Audio WA8 Eclipse is a compact vacuum-tube headphone amplifier and DAC designed for use on battery or external DC power. It features an all-tube, single-ended Class-A transformer-coupled design, a built-in hi-res DAC, and dual- or three-tube operation to tailor the sound. It is aimed at high-end headphones and IEMs, and is known for low noise, robust build quality, and portable transport use rather than pocket portability.
