Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade

Wyred ST1000 vs NAD325BEE - I briefly owned the NAD as I experimented with amplication in a second system. For the money, the NAD is quite nice; but ultimately the Wyred trumps it in virtually every area. I don't have the NAD anymore so a direct comparison is no longer possible - still, from memory, here the Wyred amplifier wins.

Which nad ? M51?

To the other question the Wyred DSD-SE plays everything Night and day better then the dac-2 with precision!! All those better quality parts are not just better , I used to mod electronics - amps,preamps, the parts quality in the SE are better then Anything I have seen even in $20k DCS units, as well as EMM labs.
This is a Fact just look at the upgrade parts specs normally 1 percent is considered very good ,these parts look at.01 that is One a Tenth of one percent resistors
And other parts are far better still.with digital being so very sensitive to change much much more then say an amp.it pays off in spades in timing,
Imaging,and sound staging. Personally in my system this SE sounds better then my friends Meitner MA-1 and that is saying lots,you can keep the
Berkeley-2 that is why they have a new unit coming out great detail to thin
Sounding though,this is a $6-7k unit all day long.if it were at regular store markup and matched per Dollar.i just sold the well reviewed Luxman -06
Which was $5k retail.i also had the Meitner in my system for two months.
With my YG Carmel's or Revel f-208 speakers very musical tight .
The 2 reviews are the units were not even fully runin, as well as one reviewer using spidif,on one then usb ,In testing Everything has to be Identical. This drives me nuts having worked in the field before.
These guys who many think are audio gods ,make many rookie mistakes.
Please keep this in mind do your own home work. Email others research
And see about a audition.

Thanks Audioman58, very good information. I currently have the Bryston BDP-2 Media Player/BDA-2 DAC that I amp happy with but the Wyred4sound DAC2 DSD SE has certainly perked my interest.

Hello I had the Bryston player and sold it and bought the AuralitiPK-90
With a Linear powersupply for $950 with better overall results.
I can play anything available in hires 64 or 128 DSD without the lock ups
You could sell your and have 1/2 the money for the dac also the card reader is 500 meg, the Bryston buffer is not even close.i was shocked
.bryston makes their $$ with displays and a fancy case that is worthless.
I would not say it unless I have been there done that. You run it from your IPad,or Droid why do I need a little glass window? Worthless .it is your money,do as you wish I am just telling it like it is.

well, the Bryston does look great in the rack. I will admit, that is kind of important to me. My setup sounds great, but like Bezimienny above, I too value smoothness. I have a lot of pop/rock recrodings (no hi rez stuff yet) and in most systems it is a challenge. Even though the reveiws talk about the Bryston making things more listenable, and that is true compared to most stuff out there, I still think there is room for improvement. So if I can get a DAC that is smooth without giving up to much of the other good stuff, that would be great. That is why the Wryed DAC2 DSD SE interest me. I am also interested in the Luxman DA 06 too. I would have to research the Auratliti PK 90 music server.
