Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2 DSD

Wyred 4 sound amazing Dac 2 DSD. Purchased this unit new directly from w4s approx. 3 years ago. Amazing, detailed and articulate lovely sound. 

Accurate conversion of music and sound from the digital world to the analog realm is the cornerstone of a top-quality system. For the discerning audiophile, we created our flagship digital-to-audio converter: the DAC-2.

At the heart of the DAC-2 is the industry-leading ESS 9018 Reference Audio 32-DAC. Using the chip’s trademark ESS Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the ESS 9018 utilizes an oversampling process that eliminates all of the clocking inconsistencies (jitter) found in a typical digital-to-analog conversion. The result is an information stream that’s cleaner from source to sound, free of artifacts. Combined with our proprietary discrete output stages, which optimize sonics, the DAC-2 delivers the absolute most accurate and musical sound.

Defeatable pre-amp functionality allows audiophiles with 100% digital systems to completely eliminate the need for a pre-amp, reducing signal processing and increasing transparency.

In addition to Coax, Toslink, and AES/EBU units, the DAC-2 also features a balanced I²S input that when mated with our PCOCC HDMI cables and a compatible source, yields unmatched sound quality. Proprietary USB drivers for all operating systems make installation easy and a compact footprint makes the DAC-2 the perfect fit for any system.

DAC-2 DSD

When we built the DAC-2, we knew technology would change quickly. That’s why we armed our flagship digital-to-analog convertor with upgradable digital, output and USB boards allowing it to evolve with technology.

As with the DAC-2, the heart and soul of the DAC-2 DSD is the 9018 ESS Sabre DAC, widely considered the best in the business. From there, we gave the DAC-2 DSD the added capacity to flawlessly stream files up to DSD256 files via USB. With an onboard USB to I²S platform that delivers digital information directly to the D/A convertors, the DAC-2 DSD offers critical listeners jitter free transmission of data.

We increased the DAC-2’s USB PCM resolution to 32-bit 384kHz and added galvanic isolation to eliminate computer noise from the audio signal completely. Integer mode compatibility allows direct communication between the signal source for bit-perfect playback in Mac systems. Additionally the new DSD interface is driverless for Mac and Linux platforms, ensuring seamless installation. A simple driver install is needed for USB streaming from PC systems. The DAC-2 DSD means you can be confident that the ultimate USB technology is built into your DAC!
