Any thoughts on the Woo WA11?

This would be for my college-aged son. His dorm room is tiny and there's not a good place for a full-sized/desktop amp. I'm open to other suggestions as well for portable amps. The WA8 is a bit pricey and a touch large, though not out of the question. This is to be used with Focal Clears. (I'll check out Head-fi but I thought I'd ask here as well.)

Thank you!

😊👍... I'm pretty sure that anyone using those horrible Koss headphones had the same reaction. I thought you would get that!

At his age I had a set of 15 pound... well they felt like it... Koss that gave everyone who wore them a splitting headache from the weight and poorly cushioned head band.

I have spent at least 15 years putting together my headphone system. I have used Woo amps for most of that time. If in a similar position I would invest in a Woo without hesitation.  Also, one of my primary headphones is Focal Utopia. 
 

Your kid is really lucky. I would have enjoyed a few bucks for tuition. The WA8 looks incredible, I would buy that for myself.  Maybe I will. I use a A&K SP1000 DAP with my Focal Utopia, I am pretty sure the WA8 will blow away the amp on my DAP. 
 

I think your son would be happy with either.
