Music Vault Diamond vs PS audio PWD/PWT

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the Music Vault Diamond. The Music Vault Diamond is a Server with a digital output that has a Dynamic Range of 142 dB. It is not a DAC but makes any DAC sound its best.

Any Music Vault can easily be accessed on your network from a android phone or iPhone, laptop or iPad or any PC in your home. It may also be controlled from a touch screen and wireless keyboard and mouse.

Its storage can be increased with USB hard drives and is future proof.

Make sure you know which ones provide true 192 kHz x 24 bit playback...and which ones don't. I am not familiar with the Music Vault, so I can't comment. The PWD with the Bridge is a true bargain when considering cost, sonic performance, hi-res playback, network streaming (no computers needed) and ease of setup. PS Audio also has excellent customer relations and support.

" I own a MSB Platium Dac 111 "

You have one of the best DAC's around, why mess with it? Company supports all upgardes... for money. Thus for me, its no brainer - Music Vault Diamond + fully upgarded MSB.

Why do you need PWT if you state "I want to get into a music server " ???

I did not auditioned PWD so I cannot comment on its DAC portion.

Rarely, I found more helpful people then Neil !

Good Luck

The PWT/PWD combo is a fine player but you would still need a storage unit (computer, Nas, Music Vault, etc.) to make a server system. So you would probably be better off keeping your current DAC and getting a Music Vault or other server and see how you like that before trying a new DAC.
