Class D amp wyred4sound and B&W 803D

Well, I can say that the TacT M2150 is a great match for my 802D's.

For what it´s worth, the back of the DAC amps looks NASTY to say the least.....the binding posts are worse than any 100 bucks receiver....

I can accept Spectron (pioneers in class D invention), wyred4sound (circuit builders for PS audio, another pioneer in class D) but this DAC brand seems like it suddenly appeared on the field......I am willing to spend 2k on a digital amp to get better performance, but above that, I´d rather go for some big irons in solid state.

So far in my brief exposure to Class D, the sound doesn't excite my interest ... just can't warm up to it. I'm still leaning towards conventional Class A/AB amps and have not audition DAC yet.

I contacted Tommy and if I'm still in the market for SS amps a month or so, I will give it a shot. FWIW, I found many tube lovers switched to DAC. For $2000 and a 30 day return policy, there is no risk. He can also customize the amp to your requirements.

There are many DAC threads on AC and here's link to more pictures.

The binding post looks fine to me for a $2000 amp. Have you seen the binding post on the $17000 Bryston 28BSST??

Some of those AC posts about the Digital Amp Co are from me, and I do know the designer so take that as you will.

The rear may look a bit industrial but it's the listening that counts.

Haven't heard the Wyred but one of the AudioCircle mainstays has heard them and the DAC and thought the DAC was far superior.

Unlike others with a shiny case and the same boring modules inside, the DAC products are proprietary technology that, IMHO, sounds much better than the ICE or UcD amps I've heard.

Don't discount them just because they are new (they aren't). They are a far cry from someone just stuffing modules into a box to ride the class D wave. Not all designers you've never heard of lack serious industry design experience.
