The "roots" of Wyred 4 Sound EJ Sarmento
started as an assembler for Cullen Circuits in the mid 90's shortly after the
manufacturing side had begun. His early years with car electronics gave him a
good taste for what he was getting into. Crimping transformer after transformer
for the first several weeks quickly taught him that repetition, quality, and
productivity was the key to success. Working under the guidance of Barry Nelson
(production manager at the time) offered variations in projects and allowed
hands on training in every aspect of production. Barry found that he promptly
became a "jack of all trades", and always "floated" him around to help in
different departments as needed. Barry looked at him as a true team player. The
one that works through the night into the morning and even through holidays to
get "hot" projects out the door. Sub-contract customers also found that they
could rely on him to get the job done even when there didn't seem to be enough
time in the day. Through building thousands of products, EJ quickly
learned the "nuts and bolts" of each product. Working next to long time comrade
Kevin Stewart, the two built the majority of production for the longest time.
Over the years, notes were taken, skills were learned, lessons were given, and
new faces appeared. Barry Nelson had to relocate for family reasons, which left
EJ in the production management position. With production numbers
continually going up, the testing department couldn't seem to keep up with
production. Along with James Ross (head technician at the time), EJ opted to
help as much as he possibly could in the testing department. As time went on,
James decided to move on to a technician position with another local company.
This left EJ to also cover in the testing department. He swiftly picked up the
routines, and accomplished goals day after day. Enjoying every aspect of
daily tasks, EJ couldn't learn enough as fast as he'd like. He then attended
night classes to study electronics in college. Because of the hands on
experience, everything seemed to go very well. He accelerated very quickly and
learned a great deal in record time. In his spare hours, EJ grasped the ins and
outs of Solid Works (3-D design software), and Protel (circuit board design
program). He then decided to design a very small, low powered amplifier built
around ICEpower modules. This is where Wyred 4 Sound was born. The 200S was the
first model to be branded with the W4S name. Over the weekend, he built and
tested his amplifiers for the week to follow. After the web-site was put up and
the first 20 or so amps were in customers hands, orders started pouring in. As
the OEM production side of things started to slow down, Rick and EJ had more of
an opportunity to work together on modifications. They both learned that they
shared the same goals in audio, and found great friendship along the way. After
several production-based modifications were released, customers quickly found
that the quality and value they were getting was extraordinary. Business began
to grow exponentially. As the product line grew to stereo and mono
amplifiers, the demand was overwhelming. The stress was huge on EJ and something
needed to give soon. There was barely enough time in the day for his role in
Cullen Circuits, and even less for W4S in the evenings. He then decided that it
would be best to move on with his company, but couldn't because of the amount of
time invested, and dedication involved in both. Together EJ and Rick decided
that they could both make sacrifices to ensure the growth of both businesses.
Several assemblers were promoted to technicians and provided the level of
perfomance W4S was known for. Now production management and product design was
his primary role which proved to be very effective. With the help of the past at
Cullen Circuits, and close friends in the industry, EJ continues to develop the
chassis, circuit, software, and web design for W4S. Together, this team will
provide advanced high-end audio products for years to come at an affordable
price and extreme value! Does this all sound too good to be true? Well, life is
what we make it, so do your best and be all that you can! Live today as if there
wasn't a tomorrow. We thank all who support us, and those who share the
same love (addiction) for music.

"I
really like the unit, great imaging, a little warmth, fine bass. I know there
are more expensive, maybe better DAC's out there but this is so good that I
don't really care. The µDAC is a very nice product that just disappears and does
its job. I kind of wish for a remote that I could use to switch inputs but at
that price I can't complain. – Thanks" The Wyred 4 Sound µDAC is the perfect
solution for digital streaming made simple. In many cases, the price and overall
size of most dedicated DACs deters music enthusiasts from going digital. Whether
it be for a second system or to begin digital streaming for the first time, the
µDAC can surely impress. There are currently a handful of DACs available with a
similar foot print to the µDAC but we have ensured that this piece has more to
bring to the table. In fact, after learning about the high resolution support
and stellar sonic performance, you may consider making this the go to DAC in
your home and or office. There are two S/PDIF inputs which support 24 bit 192
kHz signals as well as an asynchronous USB input for computer streaming. Any of
the inputs will provide the kind of performance expected from a price tag many
times higher. From Internet radio to high res streaming the µDAC will not miss a
beat. We adopted the very same USB technology used in our DAC-1! We were even
able to include an ESS DAC to take full advantage of the limited real-estate in
this 3.5”x3.5” chassis. Not only will the µDAC perform sonically, its soft lines
and smooth finish make for a sleek looking product. Made from machined
aircraft-grade aluminum with the W4S logo as a lock light (lights up blue when
the DAC is locked onto a signal!), the µDAC is very functional yet so simple.
Power is fed directly through USB when streaming from a computer. When using the
S/PDIF inputs the USB cable is plugged into an outlet using the supplied adapter.

the device is recognized by your computer. You have the option to power the unit
through the USB connection or with the optional 9VDC power supply. At a square
3.5” and less than 1” tall, this piece is so compact that you can easily place
it on top of your DAC. Understanding that one connection does not fit all needs,
we have included Coaxial, Toslink, and BNC digital outputs for you to choose
from. Having the outputs galvanically isolated from the USB source, we are able
to eliminate noise from degrading the performance of your system. Additionally,
all three of these digital outputs are active and independently buffered so they
can be used at the same time if desired with no contamination between them.
Ultimately, you may be wondering how this nifty little unit can benefit you and
your setup. In fact, this high performance converter may allow you to keep your
current DAC for years to come! The reality is that many DACs in the marketplace
have various limitations when streaming music over a USB connection. These
limitations may include limited support for different operating systems, poor
performance, or an inability to play high resolution files without
down-converting. We made sure that the µLINK is proficient in all of these areas
without any sacrifices. Developed from the latest asynchronous XMOS design,
which is certified USB 2.0 High Speed and Audio Class 2.0 compliant, we are able
to offer a driverless solution for Mac and Linux platforms. However, a quick
driver install for PC machines is required. Incredibly low latency in
conjunction with the asynchronous mode communication and ultra precise clocks
permits exceptionally high quality digital streaming. You will be able to stream
those hot new 24 bit 192kHz files from HD Tracks without missing a beat!
If you are completely happy with your current DAC aside from the fact that it
