Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade

Once again thanks for the good info Audioman58. Again, as long as the Wryed piece is smooth without to many tradeoffs, it should be a good fit.

has anyone compared the DAC2 DSD SE to the Lampizator Level 4 that has a lot of great reveiws?

Does the DAC2 DSD SE play regular files better than the DAC2 or is just because it can play hi rez material that it is better. In other words, all things being equal is the improvement just because it has DSD capabilities or is the DAC just improved or an upgrade overall.

Thanks Audioman58, very good information. I currently have the Bryston BDP-2 Media Player/BDA-2 DAC that I amp happy with but the Wyred4sound DAC2 DSD SE has certainly perked my interest.

well, the Bryston does look great in the rack. I will admit, that is kind of important to me. My setup sounds great, but like Bezimienny above, I too value smoothness. I have a lot of pop/rock recrodings (no hi rez stuff yet) and in most systems it is a challenge. Even though the reveiws talk about the Bryston making things more listenable, and that is true compared to most stuff out there, I still think there is room for improvement. So if I can get a DAC that is smooth without giving up to much of the other good stuff, that would be great. That is why the Wryed DAC2 DSD SE interest me. I am also interested in the Luxman DA 06 too. I would have to research the Auratliti PK 90 music server.
