Default New! Wyred4Sound µDAC-HD headphones amp/DAC unboxing

"µ" is Greek for "M" so it should be Micro DAC, not U-DAC. Sorry about that.

I'm using it in Class A right now with the Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD. Holly cow! this thing sounds GREAT!

24 hours later:

The headphones out on this sounds very dynamic. So far, I've used the V-Moda M80 & Beats by Dre Solo HD and both sounded the best I've heard from a USB amp/DAC combo. I'm gonna throw the MrSpeaker Mad Dog and a few other cans at it and report back.

thank you Ivan. This is my first Wyred4Sound product and I am impressed. The headphones section is seductive. I can't stop listening. The V-Moda M80 sound so good I can't put it down.

I just noticed my subscriber badge was gone. It's fixed now!

This is my first piece of Wyred4Sound product. I am impressed! The Class A amp section sounds amazing.

Would love to know how it sounds through speakers. It seems perfect for my desktop just wondering about the RCA output quality. Any thoughts?
