Just jumped on a great deal for a Like New 10/10 rating PWD MKII on AudioGon.  Should have it in sometime next week.  Good deals really do happen from time to time. 

Does anyone have any experience with the pre amp section on this DAC?  

Woah, and you can't get it in time for the meet???

 

[Happy Camper]

Yeah, if we can't get it in by meet, we move the meet........

That's up to Chase.  I think he has plans for the other weekends.  Let me know.

Hi all, this is my first post on Head-Fi, though I've been reviewing many of the threads for a few months now. I barely had the listing for the MK-II up on Audiogon when I heard from preproman.  It was a great transaction and am happy to see that I was able to transact with someone from Head-fi!

 
 
Thanks Sagar,
 
Good doing business with you.  You wouldn't by chance have the PS audio CD/DVD Transport as well would you

I'm down for moving it to the next weekend, I've got no plans. Specially if it means we get to hear the PWD II

Can you not get it by this weekend?

Haha, no unfortunately I do not.  I do however have a Rega Apollo and an Oppo BDP-95 that I plan to put up for sale

I'm always curious about the reasons for selling when someone sells off something that I happen to own and like.  Are you moving on to another DAC that you prefer, and if so which one?

 

[Naras]

I actually LOVE the MK2 and am super bummed to sell it.  I had some unexpected expenseses come up that I want to raise money for right away instead of holding off, which is why I'm selling certain pieces of my setup.  I hope to get back in the market for a premium DAC and head-phone amp next year.  I may just end up getting another MK-2.

Sagar,
 
The PWD2 will be going head to head with this bad boy..

Wow. I'm way out of depth there.  Sounds like you'll have a lot of fun

Congrats. You will love the MKII with your balanced beta22.

Cool, Thanks jc - I can't wait.

So if I try to play 176kHz files in NativeX mode, I get a horribly distorted sound.  I have to switch to Native mode every time I want to play a file with this sample rate.  Is there something wrong with my PWD (MKII, v. 2.03), or is this normal?

My 2.2 shipped with a firmware that wouldn't do 192K in Native.  Dropping down to an earlier 2.2 fixed it.
