On the W4S DAC2-SE....great discussion. I currently enjoy the regular DAC2 but now think it's time to send it in for the full upgrade.

I know this is reviving an old thread, but has anyone else done the SE upgrade? Additional impressions & feedback?

thanks

Ryan....welcome to AA!

I haven't heard of too many going in for the upgrade, but will be interested in hearing your impressions if you go for it!

It's 2013 and we have DAC's and DSD. Let's all embrace technology and move forward.
I agree! I'm searching for a replacement for Melinda. I find she's so analog, and I figure if I get a modern version that I can program to my liking, then life will be far more....modern. I just can't find the right model....yet.

Seriously, though, there's a used DAC 2 that I've been eying. Right now I've been playing the daylights out of my little Loki DSD. I'm tempted to take the DAC 2 home and give it a spin, see what difference it makes just prior to the upgrade over both the Loki and the Bifrost.

John.......Try the DAC2 out. I am extremely pleased with the W4S DAC2's performance in my Sennheiser HD800 headphone rig. It's driving the Musical Fidelity X-Can V8P headphone amp from the digital output of an Oppo BDP-83 and a Sony Vaio laptop with JRiver Media Center 19. The DAC2 sounds seriously good.

Dan... I just checked and it's still available. I'll drop by their shop on Thursday and borrow it for home audition. I don't particularly like the looks of the W4S equipment, but folks do like their performance. It will be interesting to compare it to the much less expensive Schiit gear.

John......I will be waiting to read you comments on the W4S DAC2. I believe you will be impressed.
