It took a bit of fussing to get the Wyrd to equal the PSA ethernet feed.
And that feed was very limited by the JRivers player and its inability to use DSP.
There are many 'tricks' that can be applied in DSP which all add together for a distinct advantage in being able to apply DSP in the chain.
So once the data feed was equal in SQ then the rest of the DSP tweaks were dialed in.
I'm feeding my dac with aes from my RN-3 thru 2) Mutec 3's, with all of the SMPS's removed and several other tweaks added as well.
And right now I'm back using the PWD with that same feed and it is 'better' than the Eitr which is a spdif feed to the dac, which is also a major step up from the dual Wyrd setup that I was using prior to my current AOIP feed.
And I agree that the 'stock' USB input on my PWD is WAY behind, which is why I was using the ethernet feed to begin with.
But these implementations of AOIP are simply 'better' than anything else I have heard.
But there are potentially other digital audio transfer protocols that could surpass this, but we're talking a long way off.
