I got the DAC2 and had the Classe CP-65 pre. To make a long story short, I sold the Classe and I am going directly to the amps (bel canto ref 1000). If you do not need analog inputs and the only source is a PC / Transport, you can sure get rid of the preamp.
Wyred4Sound Dac-2 vs Preamp and separate DAC
I’m about to upgrade to either the Wyred4Sound DAC-2 to use as a Preamp/Dac or possibly considering a used Classe Audio CP-60 and Wyred4sound DAC-1. If I’m only going to use a CD transport and USB to play lossless files is there any advantage to having the separate Preamp/DAC setup. I would personally think the Dac-2 would be the cleaner path but I’m a little worried about the digital volume control. Any opinions welcome. Preamp also doesn’t have to be Classe but some type of balanced pre along those lines.
