Well I have been using the W4S Dac 2 now for several weeks.
I have to say that they hit a home run with this piece. The feature set and wide range of inputs is really nice, but the sound is out of this world. This is the fourth dac I have owned and it is not going anywhere. I always seem to prefer the ESS based d/a converters and Wyred's implementation of this latest version is stunning. This unit works very well with all inputs, but sounds really spectacular with the I2S input from the PS Audio Perfectwave Transport. It allows my Mac Mini to really shine and will allow high resolution formats with excellent results via the USB input. This is one piece, especially given the price, that I can recommend without any hesitation. The frequency extension, soundstage presentation and the natural analog like presentation are well beyond units i have owned that cost a lot more.

Have you had any problems with the USB drivers on your Mac? I was reading the review for the DAC-2 at 6moons and the reviewer seemed to have a few problems getting the USB to work properly. I honestly had a hard time following the review, but he talked about his Mac crashing, static and distortion when using USB, and problems getting it to output the correct data rates. I'm considering one of the W4S DACs, but I'm a bit leary of proprietary drivers. Because of this I'm leaning toward the DAC-1, but would appreciate any feedback about the DAC-2. Cheers, Andrew |
