Wyred 4 Sound Dac1 vs. Dac2

Reading lots of favorable reviews. Not seeing much on the Dac 1.

Reading advertisements, seems the big difference as far as features is remote. has anybody compared the sound? is there an appreciable, if any difference?

Thanks in advance. Thinking of using to start a PC-based music server and wondering if I really need to spend the extra $500.

As I've mentioned in the thread I started (Wyred 4 Sound DAC1 or DAC2?), the built-in digital domain volume control and async USB DAC2 has over DAC1 make a world of difference if one has only digital sources.
I cannot recommend the DAC2 enough for a computer-based system, using the asynchronous USB!
I now have it paired with W4S ST-500 power amp, connected via AudioQuest Columbia XLR.
This combo delivers superb sound at an incredibly low price point for what it offers.
