DAC-1000 vs APL Hi-Fi DSD-WR
The DSD-WR's bit depth is 32-bit against the DAC-1000's 24-bit, its output voltage 2.1V RMS against 2.8V RMS, and its output impedance 150Ω against 30Ω. Both share max sample rate (384 kHz).

About the DAC-1000
The Ypsilon Electronics DAC-1000 is a high-end non-oversampling digital-to-analog converter that combines a discrete R2R PCM section with native DSD conversion over USB. It accepts multiple digital formats and uses a tube-based analog stage with transformer coupling for low output impedance and a fully analog output path. The standard DAC1000 uses Vishay metal film resistors, while the SE version uses custom naked foil resistors and silver internal parts; the standard model is the one reflected in the listed pricing here.
