Wyred 4 Sound DAC1 or DAC2?
Mihaitaa: If you have the money go for the Dac 2, if only because if you don't you'll wish you had. If you find your system sounds better with the MF preamp you could probably sell the Dac 2 for a very little loss and replace with a Dac 1. I have ...

PS Audio DLlll DAC with Monarchy Dip
I've used a DIP with a DLIII. Sonos/Dip/DLIII Made a nice improvement. Sound was a bit less edgy, bass a bit better defined, overall a more relaxed sound. Worth the cost IMO
