Tony and Paul - I was joking!
The new DACs are great products. They are a considerable upgrade from the previous DACs AND Wyred 4 Sound have great customer service. Something that is very rare these days IMO. And I also do not work for Wyred 4 Sound.

Ok, so giving the W4S DAC2v2SE a try... It has been playing in the background all evening... sitting down to play a little... had to set it at fixed volume and turn the remote off on the DAC so that it and the STP-SE would not fight over it.
A quick listen, it really seems pretty darn good. Still has many hours of break in to go. |

Thank you. Love my Wyred equipment... still getting used to it and figuring it out, but like what I am hearing so far!

After using the new W4S DAC for a few days it is starting to settle in a little. I know it still has a ways to go to totally be broken in.
It is more "analog" sounding then any DAC I have previously used in my system. The Benchmark DAC3 equipped with the ESS 9028 Pro sounds wonderful, but the DAC-2v2SE is a new level. Equipped with the ESS 9038 Pro is nice, but it does not stop there. There is no attention to detail that was left unaddressed, right down to the fuse being used. So far I am impressed with the unit. I have not 100% decided that it will be holding a permanent position in my system yet, but I am heavily leaning that way! |

Glad to hear that you're so pleased with it, and not unexpected. While you stated that you're not 100% decided on keeping it yet, I see that you've already updated your signature details to include it so that's a pretty good sign as to your desination!

Well, yea, I suppose.... although I have been known to change sigs whenever I am trying something in my system .... I do like the unit so far though...
Still working out the best settings and configuration for my taste. The DAC does have more "features" than any of the others I have tried. |
