W4S DAC

There's always a lot of talk about DACs with most revolving around names like Denefrips, Gustard, T&A, Weiss, Border Patrol and many others, but I see no mention of the Wyred 4 Sound DAC and in particular the 10th anniversary edition. Even a quick search of the forum doesn't bring much up in the last couple of years.

It is competitively priced, made in the USA and it was well reviewed at the time (2018)

Has anyone compared this DAC to the newer ones most that are most mentioned here? Maybe technology has surpassed a DAC that is now 5 years past its prime?

I had a DAC-2v2 SE DAC for a number of years and it's a very nice sounding DAC which you can pick up used at a very reasonable price.

I thought I was upgrading when I bought a HOLO Springs 3 KTE DAC, but I was mistaken. The HOLO had a quirk that drove me absolutely nuts - I couldn't take it after six months. I decided to step clear of all the flavor of the month DACS which are so frequently reviewed and bought a Aries Cerat Helene DAC.

It wasn't cheap, but I'm now content in the world of DACs
