Looking at The Parasound DAC Zdac v.2 at about $600.
Seems to have everything I need. Based on your evaluation of the Prasound preamp which likely is similar in DAC and headphone amp, do you think it be good enough to take advantage and even justify the Wired4Sound Upgrade of the SONOS Connect?
The Grace is well over $1000 more but still, if it's in the ballpark...
Thanks.

Being loaded with as many features as it has I was hoping that it would be the one I liked best. However the M920 just sounded better to me. I didn't compare the sound of the HA-1 to the Parasound P-5 but I wish I would have just out of curiosity. I think that would have been a tougher call than either compared to the M920. I like Parasound equipment and most likely will end up buying a third A-23.
As to the Wyred4sound upgrade sounding good with the Parasound, I would have to say that I think the W4S upgrade would probably improve the sound with any dac you used. It's always a bit of a pain to return equipment for me although it has to be done to get the right stuff. I finally narrowed it down to 4 units and just returned the ones I needed to. That being said, if it were me I wouldn't hesitate to get the Wyred4sound upgrade no matter what I was using.
Have known and liked the Parasound folks since the Bob Crump days and would like to figure out a way to have some of their gear in the place.
Assuming the Zdac V.2 is the same basic circuit as DAC/Preamp that you tried, I might be tempted to give it a shot.
