Wyred4Sound DAC-1 digital to analog converter with factory Super Capacitor upgradeThe sound and build quality of the DAC-1 is exceptional and having a USB, two coaxial and two Toslink inputs gives it a lot of versatility. It comes with the original box and foam packing, power cord, printout of the owner’s manual for the DAC-1 and DAC-1 LE and a 3 ft. glass-fiber optical cable. Condition is excellent, no marks, scratches, smudges or dings. Operationally perfect. I’m the second owner, bought it from The Music Room about a year ago.

I was enjoying what I was hearing too much to worry about taking notes and trying to determine just how far back in the soundstage the French horn player was positioned." -Positive Feedback
https://positive-feedback.com/Issue51/wyred.htm “Did you ever visit a recording studio in the days of tape? The W4S DAC 1 is the closest thing I’ve heard to master tape. It’s totally present, immediate and free of editorializing. It just is.”
