 Yes, both imputs coming from the computer files are going to the Genesis. The PWD by itself does not have a Lens. The Lens comes in the Bridge only. My PWD does not have the Bridge yet.
 
My CD Trnasport output goes directly to the PWD.

 


Isn't the I2S has digital lens too? That was my impression when I feed PWT to PWD before using the Bridge.

Any WA22 owners hav LCD-2? What tubes you are using? I'm trying to get the sens of best combo to use when m LCD-2 arrive on Wednesday. I'm thinking to use TS5998, TS 6F8G, and EML 274M. Th TS5998 should have enough gain for the LCD-2.

For those who have commented reference my recent issue with streaming and the clicking noise I was hearing I have found the culprit. I'm not sure what to do about it but that's another story.
 
Apple TV (which is shown as an icon on my itunes page as an external speaker) when activated makes the clicking noise. When the computor speakers are activated only there is no clicking. What are you guys using to stream to your DAC' etc?

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how that would cause clicking. 

 
I have been using Squeezebox3 Duet made by Logitech for 3 years now.  I couldn't be happier.

Hello everyone!
 
After asking some recommendations, doing lots of reading, and talking with Jack, I purchased a WA6-SE along with Beyer T1's last week. Awaiting for shipment now. Upgrading from a Darkvoice 3322 and HD650s. Can't wait for arrival! 

Welcome Edi  You will no doubt love your WA6 SE as I know I have.  I love my HD600s w/ it.  Loads of tuberolling possibilities.  Many of which are shared in this forum.  Have fun.

I don't think so. As far as I know the I2S signal is a native signal that do not contain any jitter by nature therefore no Lens required. The Lens is basically a digital buffer that process and cleans the digital signal. It is very useful specially with computer files or digital connection using Toslink due to be more influenced by jitter.
 
Here is what the PWD says about I2S:
"I2S is available (at the point of this writing) only through other PS Audio equipment such as the PerfectWave Transport or the upcoming PS Audio Digital Lens. I2S is a parallel data connection with separate clocks and data and transferred via an HDMI cable. I2S will always provide a better performance standard than any serial data stream such as S/PDIF or AES/EBU."

Do you use itunes with your Squeezebox? I really want to keep using my touch as the remote controlling my itunes from my pc. I have a call logged with Apple Support but having searched pretty much every forum I can find on the subject I'm not finding this as a common fault so not hopefull that they'll help much....

Sorry if my question has already been made... but it's difficult to search in this long life thread.
 
I have a WA6 with a EML 274B and two Shuguang Treasure CV181-Z / 6SN7GT Matched Pair with adapters... listening with my HD650 is really really good, but what I would like to have is a little more highs.
So... I am planning to go to an Audeze LCD2 and wondering if this set of tube will be ok to drive it giving me an upgrade for my actual setup.
Any suggestion or experience?
 
Another little question ('cause of my ignorance, I'm pretty new in hifi) is: how much life will have this set of tubes? The sound is really beautiful, but I hope not to have to buy a new set every 600 hours...
 
Thank you very much, headfiers!

Not yet an owner, but after a long listening session to a WA6SE w/ HD600s (including in-house cable mod) at 32 Ohm in Portland, I was really blown away.  The fullness the amp brought out of the headphones was a real treat for my (admittedly still novice) ears.

I would consider getting a pair of Sylvania VT-231 or Bad Boys to bring out the highs with either the HD650 or LCD-2.

I have a few Squeezeboxen and AFAIK, the Squeezeboxen can not use iTunes and will not play any files that are DRM (if that's the right term). You can howerver play any mp3 or flac or alac (apple lossless) that's not DRM.

The iTunes Store hasn't sold DRM music for quite a while now, and it lets you convert your old stuff to a higher bit rate while stripping the DRM from it for a nominal one-time fee.

 I have 2 squeezebox units in my home and I have been running them for at least 4 years using iTunes files from the very beginning. I have never had a problem with any files.
