  Does the none upgraded Perfectwave DAC (none MKII) support cover art on the front display?

 
 
yes it does, keep the memory card in the dac.

Don't forget JRiver won't do gapless either though the Bridge, otherwise it works great. 

I'd say MK2 is more than slightly better. I found it pretty significant. 

Well, considering that It was 4 weeks between listening to it as a Mk1 and a Mk2 it was very hard to "compare" other than based on auditory memory. I loved the Mk1 so much, and could tell the Mk2 USB is a bit better. How much I really can't say.

FWIW, Anthony Cordesman did a great review of the Mark II vs. Mk ! - on PS Audio's site.....

+1 for the upgrade - I paid full price for the kit and found it absolutely worth it.
 
As mentioned above - be on lookout on the forums for good deals now.

I wanted to try firmware 2.0.2 as I have read comments that it more laid back and relaxed sounding, not sure where to download it from. If anyone here has it and willing to mail me, then please PM me.

 

[boatheelmusic]

There are firmware downloads on PS Audio's support page for the PWD.

 

[boatheelmusic]

Please note that not all downloads work with all builds.

  I love the way it currently sounds, not sure if I want to upgrade if the return isn't going to be worth the 1K cost.
 
Does the MKI have album art on the front display? cant seem to find this information anywhere? I see it on the images from google but cant seem to find anything with an answer. thx in advance.

Just two data points re MKI vs MK II:

There's a new site and link with some fancy-schmancy red graphics to let you know you're somewhere new...
 
Go to the site > Support > Downloads > Download Product Updates
 
Uh-oh, I don't see 2.0.2.  Thought I saw it the other day.

Send tech support a note. You need a different user to be created for the forums to be able to download. Even if you are logged on to the site...crazy.
