Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Thanks for the review...

Thanks for the review.

I like that you ranked the DACs based on your own observations.

Since you mentioned the Schiit DACs which have been very popular over the past several months, I thought I would mention that an Asylum inmate sold his Schiit Bifrost and replaced it with the PS Audio NuWave DAC and thought it was much better. The NuWave LISTS for $1000 but can be had for around $700 - $800 street price.

I've never owned a Schitt DAC but comparing the PS Audio NuWave to the Wyred4Sound DAC2, I thought the NuWave was more resolving overall. I also think PS Audio gets a bad rap because they are too well known and well established (common?) within the audiophile community.

You may recall that I had the Wavelength Brick V3 DAC in my system last year. I was very disappointed with that DAC. It was veiled, dynamically boring, and rolled off. Sorry Gordon but here is yet another example of an over hyped Stereophile Class A rated component that was pretty lame, IMHO. Lame unless you like that sort of sound where all 'edge' and 'digititis' is washed away at the expense of detail, frequency extension, dynamics, and resolution. Gag me! That was the worse DAC I ever heard!

But I'm rambling. Try the PS Audio NuWave someday if you ever get a chance and thanks again for the review.
