Wyred DACS

Hi Bill,

I look forward to hearing your thoughts about the Tranquility Dac. Have you ever spent time with the Bryston Dac?

Thanks,

Paul,

I'm curious as to if you have used the USB input on the Bryston DAC? If so, how do you think it performs via the USB.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Don't know anything about the Bryston.

Thanks
Bill

The USB works well on the Bryston, however only with CD quality digital files. It has a 16 bit/48kHz limit on the USB. I have been using the BNC/coax input and it will do 24/192. If all you have is USB, then a device like the HiFace is probably the way to go.

Bottom line... the sound quality especially the HD files is stunning!

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the response. I am primarily a vinyl guy, however there are times when I am putzing around the house that I like to have music on in the background. That is when I toss on a CD or more often then not, Pandora Internet radio from my laptop. I realize it is not the best fidelity, but I find it a great source to discover new recordings that I may not be aware of.

So, in an attempt to try to kick up the fidelity of the Pandora, I'd like to find a good sounding USB Dac. All of my gear is vacuum tubed (tuner, pre, amps, etc) and I listen to vocals, jazz, classical, and acoustic types of music.

I've been trying to find out more about the sound of the Wyred Dacs, Havanas, Tranquility, and now Bryston to determine which might be the best way to go.

I appreciate your comments as well as the others on the forum.

Best regards,
No Regrets
