Default Perfect wave transport \ dac

Hi guys just noticed recently that ps audio came up with a new transport and dac beign released soon

it is reported to be jitter free !

their using a new transport procedure to bring the music to the dac

this dac will be non oversampling

but it will be rather expensive

it is hiting the market at 6 K for both unit!

i might give it a try as soon as some one else bit the bullit and try it LOL !
(dont want a buggy unit)

Certainly not more than your Parasound DAC's, or even Esoteric?

PS has a ton of information about the PWT and PWD on their site. The transport is a memory player and can read CDs and DVDs, including RR's HRx discs. No DVD-A or SACD support though. If you have the DAC, it can connect via I2S.

The DAC supports native or oversampling up to 24/192 and several filter options. The big deal about it though is the upcoming network bridge, which PS is using to challenge products like the Sooloos or Linn DS servers.

The PS Audio site has all sorts of specs, and 2 videos, one for the source, and one for the DAC.

This looks to be a very nice, do-it-all source for digital audio. ( well minus SACD and DVDa source ). Memory playing CD player, he takes out the CD while its playing, and it keeps going on the video. The "bridge" will get music from your NAS or music server computer.

$ 6K is pretty steep though. I also love my PSA DL III with lvl 4 mods, and don't really plan on spending that much anytime soon. (new turntable pretty much deep 6'ed the audiophile budget for the rest of the year)

The PWD and PWT can pretty easily be found for just north of 2k each.
