DAC Impressions


Looking at several new DACs, the AMR DP-777, the PS Audio PWD MKII, and the NAD M-51. Anyone used and/or compared these three models? Which did you like best? Pros and cons of each model?

Drive the W4S DAC2 using I2S from the transport or I2S from a USB converter and you will discover how good this thing really is. I2S bypasses the resampling and reclocking in the Sabre chip, which is a good thing:

Not clinical or bright if you use the I2S input from a source. Very neutral IMO.
