DAC/PRE

The Wyred is made in the US, has superior parts, great service and is upgradeable.

Also the new NAD M51

The Zodiac Gold is one of the best sounding DAC Preamp combos out there. The Wyred4Sound DACs are quite boring to listen to in comparison.

The Zodiac Gold has a precision stepped attenuator for the analog output volume control. It has a single ended and balanced analog input along with AES/EBU Digital in a pair of SPDIF coax inputs and a pair of toslink inputs too. USB too up to 24/192K on PC and 24/384K on a Mac.

It has superior clocking technology to any DAC under $20K i.e. lower jitter.

The headphone amp has its own volume control too.
It comes with a remote control that allows you to choose inputs and volume control

I have used it with great satisfaction and sell them.

I'll second Zdiac Gold +Voltikus. It has a full function high quality pre with relais attenuator built in and sports the best clock by a country mile. Beyond that it offers 2 analogue inputs, one of which is balances and gives you Aes/EBU, SPDif and USB2.0 inputs. It sounds great, too and I am a user ratherthan dealer

Soon to be released Femto DAC by Calyx Audio. It has jitter so low that it is only measured in 'femto seconds'.

It also has a high quality analog volume control, not a digital volume like many other dac's.
