Wyred for Sound DAC 2 or Peachtree Nova


I'm looking for a new dac to replace my Bel Canto Dac 3. I would use the Nova as a Dac preamp only. What do you think?

Face:
Is there a sonic difference between the dac1 and the dac2?
I am very interested in getting one of these, just not sure which one to go for.
I should be hearing them back to back this or next week. From memory, they do sound very similar though.
Philefreak, what did you decide to replace your Bel Canto DAC3 with? Did you go with a new W4S DAC?
Mingles, I did replace the Bel Canto with the W4S Dac. It's no contest between the two. I really didn't expect as much of a difference as I found. Without going into a lot of hoopla, let's just say that the W4S bettered the Dac 3 in every category. The W4S will take 500 hrs of break in to really smooth out and settle down from the break in irregularities.
Is the Sabre32 DAC chip really that good? I spoke with some who designs audio electronics and het prefered the TI PCM 1704 chip.
