Wyred DACS

Magnumpo205,

I am looking forward to hearing from you. Please let us know what you find.

Went by Wyred to pick up a Wadia iTransport that I had modded.
Saw my future DAC. EJ was just putting the final tweaking on the DAC 1. Saw the DAC 1 and DAC 2 that were used in their web pictures. Still the robust unit I saw at RMAF. Huge power supply, superior parts, massive filtering.
The DAC 2 has more going on with the preamp section and all the inputs, outputs and bypass. Forgot to ask if the DAC2 could be used as a stand alone DAC if desired. Would assume so.
Production should be ramped up in the next week or two.
Price of the DAC 1 has been lowered to $999. The DAC2 will be $1499, seems like quite a bargain with the preamp and extra connections.

According to their site, DAC2 has volume control that can be bypassed. Seems to have all the bells and whistles at a (relatively) reasonable price.
Awaiting reports of sonic performance from users.

BTW: Are they planning a transport for use with the I2S input?

Magnum, do you know if the ht bypass input on the DAC 2 can be configured as an input for an analog source?
