The DESIGN WD202 DAC is a digital-to-analogue converter from YBA, built with comprehensive DSD format support. The DESIGN WD202 DAC brings YBA's considered engineering to standalone digital conversion.
Key specs that matter
DSD compatibility reaches DSD128, with PCM support up to 24-bit/384kHz. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level is 2V balanced or 4V single-ended, consistent with YBA's characteristic output-level convention. Signal-to-noise ratio is 108dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.002% at 22kHz. At 320 x 280 x 62mm and 3.5kg, the DESIGN WD202 DAC maintains a manageable, compact DAC chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect clean, detailed conversion reflecting the strong 108dB signal-to-noise figure and low sub-0.002% distortion figure, consistent with YBA's broader considered French engineering philosophy.
Pairing
YBA's own amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.
Alternatives
YBA's own CD players offer alternatives with built-in disc transport for buyers wanting a combined solution.
