great, thanks.. because right now Im itching to upgrade to higher end dac so dont know if it will make much of a difference. Are the wireworld ICs more warmish, dynamic type ICs? Im looking for ICs that will go well my tube buffer as well, Trying to achieve a mellow and smoothness in the sound. Have you tried any silver ICs?

The W4S DAC-2 does pair up well with the Swans or my headphone amps. Nothing but love for the DAC-2. Plenty of detail and great soundstage with no hint of fatigue or harshness. I have noticed improvements with better ICs connecting the DAC to my headphone amps. I live in any apartment so I don't listen to the Swans at loud levels. The WireWorld ICs are less bright than my Blue Jeans ICs so some top-end harshness does not exist with the WireWorlds. However, for the money, Blue Jeans ICs are hard to beat. The Swans also sound pretty good hooked up to something like a iPhone or portable player.
