Wyred 4 Sound Dac2SE Upgrade Revisited & Findings -- The Best Decision Unequivocally!

[enser]

After a week with the upgrade I can completely agree with jrsub. Its hard not to use the typical platitudes (from both hard science and fairy dust groups) in this scene. Much more accurate with a much lower noise floor translates to a more a natural and analog sound. I'd say the biggest change is the space between the sound - its much more pronounced. This also allows satisfactory listening at lower levels.

And you have more improvements to come,  Mine didn't start sounding really good until it had about 240 hours on it and sounded its best at about the 400 hour mark. 

 

Spot on! Been more burn in and this DAC has really come to life... and the SQ is much improved over the DAC2 DSDse.

What about LVDS implementation of Matrix X-SPDIF 2 ?

Apparently its not being released until mid/late June, so I should be getting it next month.

Any word from W4S on doing DSD256 with Linux/microRendu?

Works great and sounds great, I'm using a mR straight USB to DAC2 interface.
