I bought the dac 1 from wyred 4 sound on friday hoked up on sat and it quit working on sun now this is only a warning.

The wyred 4 sound dac 1 1000$ and it is amazing! Sabre dac  w/ 32/192

grokits right ignore me COMPLETELY I missunderstood! sorry!

do you have a rca adapter to plug it into your stereo?

Hey Grokit what tubes are you using? And what do you think about them? Alot of new tubes are poping up everywhere as replacements for the EF2 I guess due to popularity of the Yaqin CD2 buffer on Ebay. Supply and demand gotta love it!

That is cool didnt know that! I will have to remember that.Thanks I am glad you looked into it.

OK Ill say this and get out I use tubes more for getting rid of digital harshness in my rig and not for the "tube" sound. I like my solid state but most sources in digital domain have extremely accurate top end esppecially when you start getting to 192 sample rates or more so when you have a...

I agree I NEVER even accept an EQ as an option in ant of my setups. Oh BTW sound check if I am not mistaken is a compressor and completely kills any attempt at dynamics. Its just like listening to the radio so its your choice but I dont recommend sound check for any serious listening but for...

I dont think so I have used european equipment before but i steped it down from 220 to 120 you want to do the opposite so i really dont know for sure but in any case if money is the issue and that is your only option then go with it worst case senerio you will just have to get the adapter plus...

in truth the mullards are going to sound better regardless over a stock chinese tube unless your rig has too much detail depth and imaging and you need to tone it down but I could also win the lottery but I seriously doubt either of those will EVER happen LOL!!! But that is a good idea and I...

Quote: Yes and basically think of tube rolling like op-amps they all have a signature sound but some people just dont hear it and thats fine if the other post I put up ever comes up youll see how I am really jealous I wish I didnt hear the diffrence!

Oh yeah and just wait untill we get into how some namebrand power cord sounds better than the stock power cord

Quote: LOL!!! Its OK man some people just dont hear any diffrence in fact I wish I didnt! Do you have any idea how much happier I would be If I didnt think "maybe this tube will sound or maybe this cable will sound....."every time I sat down to my rig.Sometimes I have to just enjoy not...
