Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Perfect Wave?


What are your thoughts on the new Perfectwave DAC and transport? I heard it and was pretty blown away. The one disappointment is you cannot play SACD's. The sound quality has me thinking of what the future of audio will sound like.

With regard to comment about unsatisfactory sound from the PS Audio PWD, I had a similar concern when I first got the PWT/PWD combo about a year ago. The digital volume control became the focus of my concern when I learned that this type of control must discard information in order to lower volume which explained the increasingly flater sound as I turned the volume down. I immediately bought a Pass Labs X 0.2 three piece chasis preamp. This made a phenomenal difference in the quality of the sound emanating from my Martin Logan Vantage speakers. This was the real thing for me; now, the PWT/PWD combo and the X 0.2 are keepers.
