Hehehe, eyeing the dac-se brader.... Interested in trying the dac2? Heheheh

If eying for the SE upgrade capability, better to sell the DAC2 and buy the SE version. Upgrading the DAC2 to SE will be too costly as shipping the existing DAC2 back and fort will be too much of a cost.

Di nagiinit yung DAC2, upgrade na?

Mag 555 mode ka uli?

Magschedule ka brader pag buo na kwarto mo, dalhin ko dac2 pati yung laptop ko.... Naka tweak kasi yun from bios to os.....
Yung laptop madali lang brader, daming mura na older model or secondhand...

Got my W4S DAC-2 din!

Still burning in pero so far ganda ng sound, soundstage opened up and everything seems to be in the right places.

Will post more pag natapos na burn-in.

Sonny,

Hope its ok that I posted here in your thread. Btw, ano gamit mong interconnects and power cable currently for your W4S?

Interconnects and power cables all come from our resident cable guy Cal.... The ic's got lots of testaments and I need not add any, but the power cable.... Its an investment I am happy I took.

timber715 · « **Reply #192 on:** Jun 23, 2013 at 09:38 PM »

Wala pang SE dito Jhameeh... Hehehehe pero magkakaron na rin yan soon.

Eto pala Em yung power cable ni Cal na ginawa for my Dac2

jh@meeh · « **Reply #193 on:** Jun 23, 2013 at 09:42 PM »

Order din kaya ako ng power cable para sa Exa? Magkano ba 2 mtrs?

Nag order kasi ako ng linear PSU kay Hynes kaso hiwalay pala mains cable.

Next move would be to upgrade my dac2 to dac2se na.... Either I send my dac to the factory in the US or dispose and get new. Unfortunately the upgrade alone cost a minimum of another 1k...... USD! Huhuhu

Money isn't that important if you have it brader.... Ang mahirap is it isn't readily available. Sardinas nanaman ako di pa nakakarecover eto nanaman.... Huhuhu

Dsd capability plus jitter reduction plus support for higher bitrate plus marami kasing dinagdag ang w4s eh.... Its just like having an off-ramp 5 sa system (jitter removal and I2s support meaning direct connection sa dac chip which in turn eliminates jitter) di ko pa naman talaga kailangan.... Pero......... You know. Heheheh
Want to try the dac2? Hehehehe

Bagay atty. gusto ko lang mag next level. Just like the compact 7 this one I don't have to let go, unless someone wants it. Thus it gives me the upgrade option. Yung upgrade kasi mahapdi pero mapagiipunan naman.... Haaaay

Hmmmm, matawagan nga supplier. Alam ko meron ng dac2se locally.

JoeyGS · « **Reply #206 on:** Jul 18, 2013 at 02:12 PM »

Ahem.......self kulam yan ah.

In the meantime na nagsasardinas ka, why not get an iUSB Power muna para ma-enjoy mo ang level up na dac2. Madali naman i-dispose yan in the future cause almost anong ikabit namin with the iUSB Power improves. You can also it with your external drives to intercept the noise coming from the USB power supply.

BTW, kamusta na ang bagong Harbie?

Sama mo na makarel, tuna, tawilis, dilis, tinapa, dangit, palad at iba pa ...... mahabang penitnsiya yang e260

Kailan tayo mag-session sa inyo para mapakinggan si harbie at puwede kong dalhin si iUSB Power.
