My Wyred4Sound DAC1 Sounds Better then my Oppo 95

Would love to hear from anyone else that has both of these devices. I have had the Oppo for awhile and love the sound, but I just installed the Wyred4Sound DAC 1. On the source side, Apple TV2 driving the DAC and Oppo from Discs and pandora.

iI am stunned at the difference. My next test is to take the digital out of the Oppo to the W4S.

Thoughts?

The difference you are hearing is the higher quality of the external DAC versus the one in the Oppo. What you have not yet experienced is how good the DAC2 really is. Feed it a really low jitter digital signal and you will experience this as well. The ATV and the Oppo are not going to cut-it. They will ultimately hold-back the DAC2.
