Wyred 4 Sound Dac1 vs. Dac2


Reading lots of favorable reviews. Not seeing much on the Dac 1.

Reading advertisements, seems the big difference as far as features is remote. has anybody compared the sound? is there an appreciable, if any difference?

Thanks in advance. Thinking of using to start a PC-based music server and wondering if I really need to spend the extra $500.

If USB is not your primary source,
If you don't care about the remote,
Then the dac1 with the $50 supercaps upgrade (ask when you order) is equivalent to the dac2.
But to make sure everyone is clear on Mizuno's post, the DAC1's USB is NOT equivalent to the DAC2's. It may be possible to pay extra to get async USB on the DAC1, and still save some money from the DAC2 if you don't need its other features. You'd have to call Wyred to find out about that. Or go with a USB to coax/BNC adaptor that is async, something like the HiFace.
Don't forget that the DAC-2 has HT Bypass, a huge plus for those who have a integrated HT/2 channel setup.
