| Sonos mod by wyred Late post - but for anyone looking, W4S does a lesser expensive I2s modification (than the re-clocker) if you have their DAC-2. | |
| Whom to invite to a Powercord shootout party Give a look to Cullen cables. Affordable. Made in California. Rick Cullen's kid. I bought a C7 from him. Well made/works great. | |
| Emotiva XPA5 vs Wyred MC5 I have a W4S MC7x250 fed from a STI-500 integrated. I upgraded from a Parasound P3, 2 Parasound A23s and an HCA-1205a. Very happy with the Wyred4Sound equipment. Sounds crisp, and clean. Runs very cool. Can listen for hours without fatigue. Using ... | |
| Best DAC for Sonos I went the modified Sonos ZP90 route with I2s modification installed by Wyred4Sound. Very happy with the upgrade from the standard Sonos ZP90. Folks at W4S were great and got the product right out. | |
| Sonos Products For the searchers, I have a modified Sonos ZP90 with I2s installed by Wyred4Sound feeding a W4S DAC-2. Amps are also W4S with Monitor Audio Gold speakers. Sounds fantastic! The Sonos ZP90 sounds good unmodified and superb with the I2s modifications. | |
| Best DAC for Sonos Wyred4Sound DAC-2: Marvelous | |
| Wyred 4 Sound.....Anyone????? Hi Bacardi - I had a P3 preamp, TWO A23s each running a set of stereo speakers, and an HCA-1205A which ran one set of stereo speakers, a center, and a set of surrounds. I still have a C2 controller which I run the multi-channel stuff through. An A... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound.....Anyone????? I replaced my Parasound preamp and amps, with W4S gear. The DAC, Integrated and Multi-channel amp are fabulous. The MC7 pulls a little current at startup, so I decided to just leave it on full time. W4S equipment runs cool unlike my Parasound gear... | |
| Where does your user name come from? From the NHL Anaheim Ducks. Won its first championship in 2007; thus the screen name. Had the privilege of being there for the playoff run. Quite a few hockey fans on Agon. | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? A volume remote is a must have convenience for me. | |
| Wyred4Sound Dac-2 vs Preamp and separate DAC I just hooked up my W4S DAC-2 outputs direct to my amps via balanced outputs/inputs and installed my Parasound C2 controller using the HT bypass via RCA connections. The W4S DAC-2 works well as a digital preamp and provides clear and crisp sound. ... | |
| Enacom speaker filters JOHNK - Have you tried them? | |
| Parasound A-23s in mono or A-21 I also own a pair of A23s, each used in stereo mode since I have multiple speaker pairs. I think the A21 might be the better choice. Although you may get more net WPC with the A23 in mono mode, current delivery on the A21 is 60 amps, versus 45 amp... | |
