Do you not like the DAC-2, or are you just curiously trying to further your quest for audio-nirvana?
From my own experience, in terms of sound, the PWD is barely an upgrade from the DAC-2. You will have a slight difference but to me, that's not an improvement. The PWD has better build quality and more features so for a small sum of money, you can switch to the PWD for a different taste. I'd think the same about the QB9 and Zodiac. Not sure if I bother spending time switching equipments at pretty close price range like that. I will aim at stuff like the Weiss DAC2 or Berkeley Alpha to have significant improvement in sound.
