More expensive custom 0.1% Vishay Z-Foil resistors in 20 locations on the analog board are utilized to replace the 1% Dale resistors. The master clock was upgraded to a Femto grade clock. The accuracy and overall quality of the master clock are crucial to obtaining optimum sound quality.

I decided it was time to update my amp and pre-amp, which I should also post, and went Benchmark equipment. I have no complaints with the W4S DAC, as it sounds great! I simply decided to go with the Benchmark DAC to maintain system input/output synergy throughout. I take very good care of my equipment and everything is in very good to like new condition. Buyer pays shipping and PayPal fee if any. Money Order or Certified Check also acceptable, but will not ship until it clears. Will ship Continental US via UPS or FedEx. It is double boxed in original packaging, ready to go!
