Wyred 4 Sound W4S DAC-2, black, excellent condition

Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 in excellent condition both cosmetically and electronically. Looks 9/10 but rated 8/10 because I’m not the first owner.

The W4S DAC-2 has received almost universal praise. It's a bargain and an overachiever, with the ESS Sabre DAC 9018 at its heart.

Selling because I have two W4S DACs, including this one used in a headphone system for which I’ve acquired a combined amp-DAC unit, thus no need for separate DAC.

Comes with remote control, factory box, and manual; also (as pictured in photo), two caps to cover the home theatre inputs, which I didn’t use.

US-48 sales only, please. No extra fee for PayPal at the asking price. Preference to buyers with a record of positive feedback. I can refer you to a long record of all-positive feedback on Head-Fi under the same user name.
