About the DAC-2 DSDse

The Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 DSDse is a state-of-the-art digital-to-analog converter designed for ultimate resolution and linearity in audio playback. It uses the ESS 9018 Reference Audio 32-bit Saber DAC chip with built-in jitter reduction and oversampling, supporting asynchronous USB input up to 24-bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD64 and DSD128 playback. The unit features a fully balanced design, defeatable 32-bit volume control, a remote control, dimmable display, remote trigger, and a robust 5-year warranty. Inputs include USB, two S/PDIF RCA, two Toslink optical, and AES/EBU. The DAC-2 DSDse incorporates an 82 femtosecond femto clock for ultra-low jitter performance, achieving a signal-to-noise ratio better than -115 dB and linearity within ±0.075 dB. It delivers transparent, LP-like resolution sound with excellent staging, pace, rhythm, and timing, and can be used directly with amplifiers due to its volume control. The DAC is praised for revealing recording quality clearly, making it suitable for high-resolution audio enthusiasts seeking detailed and natural sound reproduction.
