Quickbrick Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Item: Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 - BlackLocation: BrisbanePrice: $1000 plus PostageItem Condition: ExcellentReason for selling: UpgradedPayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Direct DepositExtra Info: I Bought this Dac new in September 2011 from the Australian Distributor (Deep Hz Audio) and it comes with all original Packaging; manuals and cables and is in as new condition. It is a very nice sounding DAC which uses the ESS Sabre 9018 Processor Chips. The sound is best described as highly detailed but without being overly analytical. The Dac2 is high on features including 24/192 Async USB input; 1 x AES/EBU, 2 x SPDIF, 2 x Toslink and I2S inputs; Remote control; Home theatre Bypass & Volume Control. The Volume Control and HT bypass mean that you can potentially skip using a dedicated preamp in your system which is how I used to use this DAC.

I have priced it for a quick sale. Pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiohifiaudio Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 How does the Meitner Ma 1 compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickbrick Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well it's really not a fair fight as they are not even close in pricing. My main source is vinyl and that is the sound I am trying to reproduce when I listen to digital sources. This is obviously a tough ask as most digital sources have artifacts that make them sound ...well ... not quite vinyl. The Meitner plays dsd and gets me much closer to the analogue sound than the w4s ever could. it seems the large void between analogue and digital are getting closer and closer. I have heard the playback designs mps5 before and I imagine the dcs and emm labs offerings are similarly good, but the Meitner MA1 well and truely gets me into the ballpark of these levels of performance for a more realistic budget. If you get the chance to hear one I encourage you to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
