Interesting that you are going from the Wyred DAC2 to the Wavelength Brick. What's prompting the switch?

Cyril, the dealer I bought the Super 8's from got in the new 88's and said they are a nice step up from them. I would imagine the X's will be the same. From photos I've seen they look like they will be quite a full range speaker. I'm very interested in the Orangutan models but they are a little too far out of my price range right now.
I've had the Wyred DAC for a few years now. It has great data retrieval, and the sound is top notch. I've tried a few different DAC's in my system and so far nothing has been a huge improvement from it. I'm very happy with it but I guess I'm just looking to move on and try something else.
