朋友把數字界面借去玩了，這才試了試USB輸入，發現這個接口純粹雞肋。
mINT要走USB，利用數字界面繞道看來是必須的。這一點我估計也不限於mINT。
也正因為之前就有這樣的明悟，所以購買時並未介意mINT這個低端的USB口，反正都是要繞道的。
這還得感謝樓主潛水艇 :)

1. 正常的阿^^ .... mac也一樣阿除非你有灌外掛軟體才會自動選頻率繞掉系統預設阿

2.XLR端子有三根針棒，由於美國與歐洲對於XLR接線規定不同，所以使用者必須注意：美規的XLR接法為1地2正3負，歐規的接法為1地2負3正。
W4S是美規

Wyred 4 Sound µDAC: The Best Sub $500 DAC?

11/12/2012 17:49 Filed in: DAC's


Wyred 4 Sound is a very well known audio brand in the audio industry (and quite popular around websites likes Head-Fi and many other forums), and are mainly known for producing some of the best DAC’s known that are used in high end desktop rigs, DAC’s like the Wyred 4 Sound DAC-1 and even more well known, the DAC-2. While Wyred 4 Sound has a focus on high end audio gear, their newer DAC, the µDAC tends to focus more on the lower end of the competition (not necessarily entry-fi, but also not high end in a way). Anyway, I have a ton to talk about in this review, as the µDAC packs a lot of punch for such a small form factor. So, without any further ado, let’s continue on with the details.

Sonic Impressions
We’ll get to the other less important aspects of the µDAC a little later on, but for now, let’s talk sonics. The µDAC is a very unique piece of audio equipment, being that it has one of the most rich and intoxicating sonic personalities that I’ve had the pleasure of using, but yet it still has a level of detail that’s unparalleled in the price range. It does every spectrum range spectacularly well, and while it doesn’t necessarily soar in one such frequency range, it does perform extremely well throughout the whole band, and that’s why I love the µDAC so much. It’s balanced, yet very sweet with a good level of accuracy.

Now, let’s get down to the gritty details, starting with the top range. The µDAC has a very prominent high frequency response that’s slightly more forward than the lower octaves but is less laid back than the midrange. Very detailed and sparkly, the µDAC works very well for anything that’s top heavy, and never becomes bright or sibilant. The more I listen to the µDAC through my Sennheiser HD650’s, the more I find it to be perfect for them. It opens up the slight veil that the HD650’s are known for, and adds more sparkle and accuracy, something that my HD650’s have longed for the longest amount of time.



Moving down the spectrum, we come to the midrange, something that’s a little more noticeable and prominent than both the low and the top end. The midrange on the µDAC is luxurious, sweet, and very rich, but not so much that it becomes over-bloated and drowned in chocolate. The midrange is very forward, has a very good vocality presence that’s very uptight, fast, and clear, but with a nice amount of warmth and richness behind it. Another great thing about the µDAC is that it doesn’t have a lot of upper and lower bleed, despite the midrange being very prominent. There isn’t a lot of coloration either way, which is a very good thing sonically.

In terms of lower frequency response, the µDAC has a very well rounded bass response, and while it doesn’t stand out as much as the top end, it still performs very well down low. Hard hitting, fast, and very powerful are all great terms to use when describing the low end of the µDAC. To be more specific, the attack and decay response is very fast, and features a very god amount of accuracy, packed in with a very hard hitting mid-bass hump that sounds excellent. Not a ton of coloration into the midrange, but there is some there, which is why there is some very obvious sweetness and warmth up in the middle part of the spectrum.

Lastly, we come to what may be my most favorable feature of the Wyred 4 Sound µDAC, and that’s both the soundstage and instrumental separation, which is absolutely out of this world for a DAC of both its size and price. It really does compete with some of the higher end amps in terms of airiness, and when it comes to both soundstage width and depth, its second to none, with depth being a little more noticeable than width of the soundstage.

Design & Build
The µDAC isn’t one of the most glorious DAC’s, nor is it the most ugly, as it strikes a fine line between overcomplicated and simplicity when it comes to design. Since the µDAC is just a standalone converter and not a hybrid headphone amp, there’s no need to overcomplicate things when it comes to design. The µDAC is made out of a black anodized, matte aluminum covering that’s very durable, and while cold at times, looks great on just about any desktop. It’s the perfect little DAC for stowing away in a corner if you don’t have a lot of room on your desktop, or, if you want, it has a very cool feature that captures the eye of any wanderer.



If you haven’t noticed from the review’s cover photo yet, the µDAC has a very big “W” on the front of the aluminum encasing, and this is for a few reasons. The main reason is to showcase Wyred 4 Sound’s logo, which is very cool and modern looking, to say the least. The other reason, which I find to be very useful and also very cool, is that the W actually lights up into this very beautiful blue LED when theµDAC is booted up and turned on. Not only is it one of the most unique design aspects that I have ever seen in a DAC, but it also comes in handy when it comes to button navigation in the dark.

Accessibility & Inputs
Since the µDAC is just a standalone DAC, there isn’t a lot in the way in terms of inputs and functionality, which is a good thing if you want to keep things simple. The µDAC has an input selector on the front where you can choose from toslink SPDIF, USB, or a coaxial input, and next to that are the RCA outputs as well as the power on and off switch for booting up the µDAC. On the back, we have three different inputs, the first being a DC power input, a coaxial input (which does 24/192 kHz by the way), a USB input that does 24/96 kHz, and a toslink SPDIF input that also does 24/192 kHz.

Final Thoughts
I’ve completely fallen in love with the Wyred 4 Sound µDAC. It’s sonic signature is unparalleled by anything in its price range (I have yet to try the Schiit Audio Bifrost alongside it, so don’t ask me about any comparisons with that) and even beats out some DAC’s that come close to a grand. Additionally, the high sampling level across all inputs is a bonus, and the small form factor is an essential element for desktop use. It really is the perfect little desktop DAC, and for that, I’m awarding it an Editors Choice Award.
