Abe, can I have your opinion ?

Back in June last year, I asked you about the W4S DAC-2 and Ayre QB-9 DSD and you mentioned the Ayre is in another league, presumably that was before you got hold of the NuWave DSD. Now you think the NuWave DSD is the best sounding ?

My DAC is a W4S DAC-1 (with cap upgrade, so it should be the same sounding as DAC-2 up to 24/96). Recently I have ripped my small SACD collections into DSD files, in order to play them through my DAC-1 I have to convert the DSF files into 24/96 PCM files (a lossy process). I wonder whether there would be much gain by upgrading to a DSD capable DAC like the NuWave DSD (also for playing 16/44.1 and 24/96 files), and am now hesitating if I should spend the money after reading your post.

Would appreciate your advice. Thanks.
