nice pics sir sonny! were you able to compare the w4s DAC with the bufallo-II DAC during your gathering?

The pictures were taken by jojod and yes they do look good.
We were able to hear the buffalo dac 1, wala kasing buffalo ll. but we were not able to give it a proper a-b test bec of the difference in dac input. The buffalo did play but we used an sotm between the laptop and dac to complete the connection.

If and when we are able to install the USB module into the buffalo dac II, let's have another test in your system

Congrats! Glad that your upgrades are meeting your expectations.

Would you like for me to bring my aikido preamp?

Has anyone gotten the w4s dac2 yet? Wondering how it matches with other systems....

timber715 · « **Reply #129 on:** Jan 31, 2013 at 06:27 PM »

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

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?

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....

DSD capability for the dac2 is expected to be available 2nd quarter of this year, and the price is within reason too... woohoooo!

timber715 · « **Reply #144 on:** Apr 03, 2013 at 07:03 AM »

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

The upgrade price is still uncertain since marami yatang choices. Hope it doesn't cost so much.

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

JoeyGS · « **Reply #147 on:** Apr 03, 2013 at 03:30 PM »

Would suggest to enjoy muna the amps, then wait for the reviews of the dac 2.

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....
