Bye Bye Puppy!
The Sasha 2s are so much better in every respect than the WP6s, the only regret you will have is not making the change sooner. Congrats!

For those who think power cords do not impact sound, check out Part 2 of Michael Fremer's tour of the ARC facility where in the main listening room ARC uses Shunyata power cords for front end components. I use them on my Ref 160s and my ARC front ...

Are you still ignoring Iris Dement?
After I heard David Byrne and Natalie Merchant perform "Let The Mystery Be", I looked up the songwriter and then purchased Iris’ albums. A true unrecognized treasure. That performance is on "Few and Far Between" a cd extended play by 10,000 Maniacs. 
DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$
