For sale is a Wyred4Sound DAC2. These rarely appear used. The DAC2 has 24/192 async USB input, 2 coax, 2 toslink, I2S via HDMI and AES digital inputs. and both RCA and balanced outputs with a discrete output stage. In addition to the 24/192 async USB, the DAC2 features a remote control and upgraded capacitors. There are numerous glowing reviews on the web, with many reviewers buying their review units. These are even designed to allow updates of the digital or analog stages in the future as further improvements become possible!
Unit is the black color option.
$OLD plus shipping.
I will ship internationally. But I take no responsibility if buyer declines to insure or purchase tracking option.
From the 6moons review:
"The value assessment of this assignment has progressed to a predictable conclusion. Being so close in performance to an established $5,000 benchmark—the Weiss Minerva won UltraAudio's Select Component distinction and a Blue Moon award from us—and bundling greater functionality for just $1,500 doesn't, in this context, make Wyred's DAC2 an actual giant killer. It does very much make it a killer value in high-performance digital however."

"Wyred 4 Sound is again offering a component with exceptional performance. At twice the price, I would recommend it just as highly. Buy this DAC before they realize just how much they could actually charge for it."
http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue51/wyred.htm The positive feedback reviewer who reviewed the DAC2 bought the unit. As did the Stereo Times reviewer. I will close with his concluding comments:
"I often hear audiophiles complain about trying to balance their system’s sound on that fine line between ultra-resolution and compelling musicality. The Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 is one component that does not force you to play this tricky balancing act. Instead it provides fine detail and superb resolution perfectly integrated with musicality.
In conclusion, when you have a component with so many worthwhile consumer-friendly features that provides such exemplary musical performance and at the same time lets you hear every breath and nuance of sound no matter how slight, well, in my book that’s something to get truly excited about. When you see the price sticker reads only $1499, as they say, that’s the icing on one very delicious cake. I’m buying the review sample because at this point I couldn’t bear to part with it."
