Wyred DACS

Faces last statement is virtually meaningless, a rather terse "analysis" with absolutely no context.
Pretty much a waste of the minimal effort it took to post it.

I heard them both in the same rig. The low end on the Havana sounded loose/sloppy in comparison.

Rja, have you compared the two?

That's interesting because thats similar to what the experienced reviewer acquaintance of mine said about the WFS - the bass was bloated and one note. Personally I am not expecting that much of the Havana in comparison - after all at least here in Aus it half the price. Occasionally you find giant killers that surprise but that is not the norm. But you never know. Of course I will be giving my impressions and hopefully the owner of the Havana can chime in as well.

Thanks

Bill, that is not my experience at all, with either the DAC-1 or DAC-2.

I've heard both models in 3 different rigs and they had the tighter bass than any of the players/DACs they replaced.

That's just his view. I tend to give good weight to what he says because of his experience reviewing stuff - he is a reviewer for an audiophile magazine and has done tons of them. My view, as I mentioned in my initial post, is the bass has greater slam, strength and detail, not bloated or one note at all - but hey it was virtually straight out of the box. A much better test will happen Saturday.

Thanks
Bill
