Now with Femto clock and 1/7th the jitter of the original SE

Wyred raises the bar, again. The new DAC 2SE is easily the best DAC at anywhere near its $2550.00 price. The new Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 DSD SE ($2,550.00), a Special Edition version of the highly acclaimed DAC-2 is now shipping.
During development of the original DAC-2 Wyred recognized that digital streaming technology would move very quickly. They created a modular circuit design which would permit future upgrades as the industry progressed, and they can now deliver that promise! The original DAC2 received one superb review after the next with 1/2 the reviewers buying their samples. This new DAC raises the bar again. It is a major upgrade to the original. Reviewers compared the original to DAC’s selling for 5 times its price. Upgrades from the DAC-2 to the SE are available for $1250.00.
Call to discuss.

The newly refined DAC-2SE incorporates many upgrades throughout the digital, analog and power supply circuits. In addition to the enhanced sonic performance, the new SE version has extended its USB support to include, driverless (Mac/Linux), 32 bit 384kHz PCM, as well as DSD 64 & 128 streaming.
 
The 9018 ESS Sabre DAC remains the heart of the DAC-2SE which is still widely regarded as the number one D-A converter in the industry. The ESS DAC was originally selected for use in the DAC-2 for numerous reasons, one of which is the capability to process DSD signals which it can now decode. The I²S DSD format offers a jitter free solution to transmitting digital data from our cutting edge USB interface to the Sabre chip. Newly implemented technology and hardware now takes full advantage of this remarkable feature. Either DSD64 or DSD128 files can be flawlessly streamed in conjunction with standard PCM files. The DAC-2SE instantly detects the native DSD data and routes the signal to the appropriate internal processors resulting in unparalleled sonic performance. It’s time to begin expanding your DSD music collection! Another bonus of the special edition DAC-2SE is the galvanically isolated I²S USB interface which guarantees zero opportunity for computer noise to interfere with the quality of the audio signal. Setup with your source via USB is simple because the DAC-2SE is driverless for Linux, Mac OSX 10.6-10.8, and supports Integer mode protocol.
Wyred upgraded many key components throughout the entire audio circuit starting with the main fuse at the power inlet. The Furutech rhodium plated, ceramic fuse has proven to be an excellent complement to the upgraded power supply of the DAC-2SE. Further filtering is addressed with low loss - ultra fast recovery Shotkey diodes and a series of premium grade inductors that assist to stabilize the current as it enters the power supply. Power is then filtered through a series of custom low ESR capacitors after which it is regulated by newly designed discrete regulators. The Wyred proprietary regulator design is 100+ times quieter and faster than the stock regulator of the original DAC2! The start of the analog signal receives strategic treatment with custom made naked Vishay Z-Foil resistors in 20 locations. Putting numbers on it, the stock Dale resistors offer 1% tolerance and +/-100ppm/°C temperature coefficient where the new resistors are 0.1% and +/-0.5ppm/°C respectively.

This new DAC-2SE has superior sonics and again places this new DAC 2SE against DAC’s selling for 2-3 times its price.
Oh yea, the DAC2SE is also a very good digital preamp with volume, phase and balance control from the remote control.
