My Wyred4Sound DAC1 Sounds Better then my Oppo 95

Mrvco: Have not done the Blind A/B, but have some friends coming over this weekend and I intend to. They difference was really noticeable.

OK, Audioengr. Please forgive my newbieness. Help me understand the best way to provide a very low jitter source. I have a Mac Mini via USB to the DAC now and use bit perfect. I had tried pure audio awhile ago, but with the Jolida DAC, I could never justify the cost.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Steve Nugent is correct.

The WFS is a very good DAC when fed with a low jitter source such as Steves Off-Ramp (the best - but unfortunately most expensive) or Audiophilleo 2 (probably the best bang for buck).

Via the WFS internal USB it's a bit ordinary - dull, slightly sibilancey with a cold although squeaky clean top end. That said I am not surprised at what you heard - a comparison I was at it was better than a modified Oppo - but it really is good when fed via a low jitter source. The detail is really stunning that way - although still slightly analytical for my taste - but that is a personal preference sort of thing.

Thanks
Bill

Ok. I am hip on the off ramp and the other options for low jitter delivery to my WFS Dac.

Thanks for the headsup

Ok... In the words of Neil Peart. "What a fool I have been" Channel D Pure Audio is great and I should never tried Digital audio from my mac and USB without it. Now I guess I have to check out Off-Ramp or Audiophilleo.

My concern is with my Amp/Speakers, et al. Am I overdoing it?

If you look at my system, I am currently looking to upgrade speakers.

Right direction?
