Wyred DACS

Going to Wyred today. Will find out more from Rick.
Sounded great at RMAF with the Sabre 9008 and now contains the superior Sabre 9018.

Went by Wyred to pick up a Wadia iTransport that I had modded.
Saw my future DAC. EJ was just putting the final tweaking on the DAC 1. Saw the DAC 1 and DAC 2 that were used in their web pictures. Still the robust unit I saw at RMAF. Huge power supply, superior parts, massive filtering.
The DAC 2 has more going on with the preamp section and all the inputs, outputs and bypass. Forgot to ask if the DAC2 could be used as a stand alone DAC if desired. Would assume so.
Production should be ramped up in the next week or two.
Price of the DAC 1 has been lowered to $999. The DAC2 will be $1499, seems like quite a bargain with the preamp and extra connections.

Emailed Rick today to ask about the defeatable volume control. I wasn't sure that meant it could run as a stand alone Dac without running through the volume control.
Johsti, I think the HT bypass is the usual sub connection.
Rja, not a mention of a transport.
Hopefully their Reference amps will be in production soon. New machined faceplates will adorn the Reference models.
