Cambridge 840C DACs vs. Wyred vs. Eastern Electric

Anyone compare the DACs in the 840C to the either of the Wyred DAC 1 or 2, or the Eastern Electric DAC? I havent been using the CDP in the 840C, mostly only using it as a DAC for my Wadia Ipod doc. I enjoy the sound, however I am curious about some of these newer DAC's.

Any info is appreciated.

Compared the EE DAC and the 840C extensively for over a month. The 840C has more gusto, a bit more robust & dynamic. The EE Dac captures a bit more ambiance of the recording with a good tube installed. In SS mode it does not compare with the 840C but that could change withe OpAmp rolling.

Just my 2 cents but if you are willing to spill a little more bucks, for $1,150 the Anedio D1 is worth looking into. There is a review over head-fi wherein this dac was compared to a few others including some costing more and come out ahead.

I had the 840c for a couple of years befor replacing it with the Touch/EE Dac combo.I have to say the 840c doesnt come even close to the performance of the Touch/EE Dac combo.
