after 50 hours, everything starts to smoothen. changes in the mids and highs are apparent. from clinical now getting much more musical and very involving.


Hindi kaya nasasanay ka lang sa sound niya?  ;D  ;D

it really depends who will host the event... I cannot invite anyone unless the host says its ok. otherwise it should be ok for everyone.

rainy afternoon, nice time to listen to jazz.... but once lightning started to come, my system goes to rest.... it's been 75hours already and I'm pretty happy as it is... super bonus na lang whatever improvements that will come.

was wondering why the dac only shows 48k when I was playing 24/88.2 flac.... turned out the player (jriver had it set to down sample anything higher than 48k but lower than 192k.... now corrected though also now I can have the player upsample should I wish to.

I only have time to listen at night when I get home kasi kaya when I relax a bit, I get the chance to relish the sound. I keep it running the whole time for it to properly break in and so far improvements keep coming.

Approximately 155 hours into the break in period and i have lost a lot of bass... And from what i read, this seems like a normal occurrence in this dac... I just have to wade it out and continue.

about 2.5 hours from when I last listened I notice the bass coming back, happy sound... but soundstage is all over naman :'( the good thing is I'm prepared for it since there are lots of write ups online that one can expect this to occur. Funny though the soundstage is acting up, the tonality is greatly improving....  :P

I'm so excited to try new stuff as soon as the w4s dac2 settles....


and an old friend returning home from a vacation

It really is good to have friends though it is much better to have good friends.

unfortunately you have to know the difference between kindness and kulam, I don't... huhuhu

Will see if the holidays allow...

Warning: If anyone is thinking of getting this dac, be prepared to upgrade any weak link on your chain.... The wyred4sound dac2 is so good you will definitely want everything to perform as good!

Hehehe, the dac presents music so well that you want more. Trying to squeeze what little tweak you can do sa system.... Para bang gusto ko never ending yung improvement.
Joey, since you are a computer audiophile should visit me sometime. I would love to know what you think of it. Hehehe

samahan mo na rin ng power cable... MAC HC Sound Pipe 5'

From MyAudio Cableshttp://www.myaudiocables.com/page11/page11.html


funny what power cables can do... in my case connected to the w4s dac2 this is what it did:
tonality: 7
soundstage/imaging: 7
flexibility (of the cable): 5
transparency: 8

I rated them basing with the standard power cable supplied with the w4s dac2. 1 being the lowest, 5 being the standard and 10 best....
power cables is one of those tweaks that gets little attention, funny but it seems that is should be one of those first tweaks because it produces a night and day change (improves or degrades).
this power cable made the tonality of my system sound better, bass seem to tighten and lifted a veil of blurriness. It also improved the soundstage but not by a huge margin though noticeable still. Silent passages were very clean.
