Wyred DACS

I've been following this thread and others for the last 3-4 months and was really hoping for great things from the Wyred DACs. I've been a big fan of the Wyred amps for several years.

However, my feeling is that it just isn't happening... at least for now. I saw one pro review and it was a list of all the nifty parts but couldn't seem to review the sound. All in all this has been a very frustrating piece of audio gear to make a determination on. Also, without a way to hear one before buying adds to the frustration.

I have been ready to call and order one on several occasions and give Wyred the benefit of the doubt, but in the end I'm going to pass and go with a more proven, musical sounding DAC.

Thanks to all who have provided their comments!

I hear what you're saying Paul, but if you are referring to the 6moons review, it hasn't come out yet. They have a preview that mentions the features, but a full review has not been published yet. I'm looking forward to reading it.

Pkubica, I took a chance an ordered one (DAC2) a few weeks back, and as previously mentioned it shipped Friday.

I as you had high hopes, unfortunately, now I'm a bit worried, especially considering the W4S restocking fee policy.

Hi Paul,

I know what you mean. What other dac are you considering? Will you be using the usb input?

Thanks,

When it first came out the scuttlebutt was it was scary close to the best out there at any price. My testing and comparison showed it was probably the best in its price range, with the possible exception of the Tranquility, but it was simply close to the best out there - not scary close. I am still happy, even with the balance issue and am glad I got the DAC.

Thanks
Bill
