Title: wyred4sound dac 2
Post by: timber715 on Dec 12, 2012 at 11:15 PM
Anyone using this dac? Been using a toshiba laptop as my source for the past year and courses through a superpro dac, I am planning to upgrade to the w4s dac2 and am looking for others who have experience in the settings...

Congrats Sonny!  Since no one chimed to your request ..... please give us your impressions on the sonic impact to your system.  That would need some break-in.... and by January when we schedule the Quiapo EB, maybe we can have a listen.

definitely Joey.... 200 to 300 hours to make it smooth and tame.
so far, separation of instruments are apparent. a little rough at the moment but already better than what I used....

it has the same DAC (ESS 9018) as the Buffalo-II and Buffalo-III DAC of Twisted Pear Audio (http://www.twistedpearaudio.com/digital/buffalo.aspx). :)

Go ako dyan Joey....

6 moons compared it with the Weiss dac202 (a dac that I want but cannot afford :P). they gave it a blue moon award and rated it very close to the Weiss but did not beat it....
the weiss cost $6.7k and this one $1.5k

Marami akong plano... Pero plano lang, mahirap matuloy kung walang pambili... Siguro sa dulo ulit ng  year 2014... Seems i can only afford a purchase like this every other year.

Talagang hindi na pinakawalan...congrats bro sonny!  O0

I have been looking for a good dac since sept. brader... Nangontrata na nga ako kung maguupgrade prend ko eh. Then nakita ko to sa hifi show.... Really I wanted the weiss dac, pero hindi talaga kaya kahit paano ko ikutikutin ang budget. Buti na lang ang review ng 6 moons sakto ang tinapatan....

Sat down for 3 hours and listened to my system this morning. So far medyo clinical pa. I really am not a big believer of break in period, but everything I read about this dac leads me to it...
Am so far into 20 hours pa lang.... 9 more days... I can't wait

Alam nyo, mag arrange kaya tayo ng dac shoot out? And to be fair let us invite the dealers para they have a say... Of course there should be a criteria like price range.... Apples to apples is best or within the same price bracket. I am aware. Hat the w4s has a cheaper dac that can go head to head with the one most own....

Mukhang maganda to Joey... Hopefully we can find a place that can seat a decent number of listeners. Not in My area, sobra traffic at mahirap parking. I will try to inquire one maybe in Makati area.
Preferable with a good set of gears as well....

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.

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.

Post by: timber715 on Dec 19, 2012 at 11:26 PM
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.
Title: Re: wyred4sound dac 2
Post by: timber715 on Dec 20, 2012 at 02:23 AM
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

(http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc417/sonny715/P1010696.jpg)

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.

Para sa akin,  oo! Pero kung maka kuha ka ng gamit na hi end sounding for a low end cost, ito ang ang panalo! But in Sonny' s case, since he was able to acquire a 160K speaker and 70K dac, a 5K USB cable is definitely  a loose change!! ;D

234 hours into break in and it has been fun. Heard the bass get bloated then disappeared, soundstage was all over the room. Then it tightened, but it also gave shrills on the highs afterwhich directionality went all over once more....
Now, it just sounds fantastic with everything in the right amount... But I still keep it on maybe until Christmas day. This is a gift for myself anyway for the past and this years christmas....

Title: Re: wyred4sound dac 2
Post by: timber715 on Jan 03, 2013 at 03:45 PM
now since I got back and installed the power cable, I have been listening to my music...
from Josh Groban's "you're still you", I feel more command on his voice and the violins in the background never sounded so sweet.
Chuck Mangione's "feel so good" gets more air, the drum cymbals soft and loud are so clear. it really feels so, so good...
almost any song in Andy McKee's Art of Motion album, you can enjoy the vibration coming the string from his guitar...
Toto's "geory porgy"... must be the Prat, the drums sound so natural and the organ as if it I can touch it...
and Chris Jones "long after you're gone" (one of my favorite and a staple in my system) just sounds so right.... with the bass guitar giving of a deep rich bass.
I do attribute the changes did come from both the dac and the synergy it gave to my system...
Title: Re: wyred4sound dac 2
Post by: timber715 on Jan 13, 2013 at 08:07 PM
Cross posting from Cal...
Monos + W4 sound dac  and as pre amp combo gives superb sonic presentation. I  believe adding an active linestage would enhance / improve more the over all character.

Thanks for the W4SOUND guys, Victor and Roland,  letting hear the dac, sotm and your server.  :)

The guys from w4s are pretty game and willing to home audition... They even joined us in fr. Jim's kubo in bulacan.... Thank you Victor and Roland, we hope to see and/or acquire your other products in the near future..... Huhuhu.

Pambili na lang ng DSD ang problem kung ako ang nasa situation mo. Pero since si master Timber eh logging conglomerate, walang problema!  ;D

SOtM yan brader, but since same lang ang distributor it becomes very interesting...... hopefully the price is reasonable enough since Korea ang source nyan...
Seems most dac is really headed for the dsd direction... papaiwan ka pa ba or will you convince yourself dsd is inferior?  ::) ;D

W4S will surely follow.....

Just make sure that the component is downgrade proof ...... in case DSD flops.  I do factor in the availability of music material before I take a plunge.  Just my dos sentimos ;)

Yes I do agree that the dsd material is very important too.... There seems to be around 7,000 albums pa lang currently in dsd format. Hopefully pop, hip hop and other genres join in as these are the likes that limit their numbers....

Integer mode will also be included in the upgrade, plus support for 32/384... Info from computeraudiophile.com

Upgrade season na ba?
Ewan ko ba brader, so far the only info I got is that the unit needs to be sent to w4s usa for the upgrade... Not only will it cost more than I hope, it will also take longer. Been quiet here for a while and another set of waiting time could be tiring...
Might try to enjoy the upgrade on the amps muna before I decide to send my dac for the mod... But then again, who knows....... Hehehehe

I did think about that and the option of getting an off ramp5 instead. the second option I thought might be a good choice in case I decide to change dac and can keep it. but with the integer mode included in the mod, it would be very hard to beat that together with the rest of the upgrades....

Hi Sonny.  Turntable na!
Hi John, been wanting to dip my finger on turntables for a long while but the thought of starting lp collections just stops me. Lately I have been lurking another site and.... I think you might want to read it instead.
http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f6-dac-digital-analog-conversion/replacing-my-vinyl-system-comparative-review-amr-audio-horizons-acoustic-arts-15652/
There have been lots of audiophiles with the same reaction digitalwise esp with the advent of the new format (dsd). Unfortunately, like most new formats the selection of music is still very small. Though hi-res is getting very popular lately with a reasonable selection.
This is what totally stopped me from going analogue altogether.

Sonny;

I like computer audio for the convenience of remote controlling digital files from anywhere in the room and if you succeed in mixing and matching the right components - both hardware & software, you may even attain what most digital sources aim for - the analogue sound.  Good luck on your search.

Thanks John, I do hope I come close... Close enough would be good enough for me since the funds are limited. So much dac is flooding the market lately and I am sure there would be one that ill fit your needs.
From what I have been reading the w4s dac2 would be similar to the bel canto with a different flavor. In case you want to hear it in your system, let me know... Either I arrange a home audition or I can bring my unit for you to try.

It would be nice to compare the 2 DACs Sonny.  Would like to hear DSD material as well. Do swing by when you can. My system's still the same, only thing new is a wider selection of fine sounding LP's.

I would like to say the review is not very convincing, but i would rather test it on my unit instead. Now while it only cost two clams, I might just wait for the dac2 upgrade to come out first before I spend more clams which I already have none... Lol.

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.

Nag order kasi ako ng linear PSU kay Hynes kaso hiwalay pala mains cable.
Shoot Cal a pm for pricing brader...

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

why the need to upgrade the W4S bro?
Title: Re: wyred4sound dac 2
Post by: timber715 on Jul 18, 2013 at 12:31 PM
why the need to upgrade the W4S bro?
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

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?

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