Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge

Just got my Bridge working with Jrivers. I have the PWT as well. Having the Transport we have been enjoying the best I've heard in CD by a good margin. Hi rez CD's are off the chart great.

Now with Bridge and some hours behind configuration as I don't own an Apple product except for an IPOD, we're (family) formulating are own impression. I don't like commenting on equipment I haven't had many days with due to break-in reasons and just getting used to a "new" sound but I'll say this.

1. I'm no longer thinking about that new mega dollar Turntable I've always wanted.
2. I'm going over all my CD library and making sure I have a fully lossless file collection in FLAC and Aplle Lossless as there going to the garage.
3. I have an empty spot where the preamp was and the turntable was supposed to be.
4. Can 44.1 Khz really sound this damn great? I haven't listened to a hi rez cut yet, and not anxious too!
5. Where do we go from here? I guess an IPAD 2 for a better remote.

I'll comment on difference's when I can tear myself away from just simply enjoying the music.

Srwooten - I'll give it a download. Got more than a few from HD Tracks.

Wish I can find a way to scrape the bits off the Neil Young 176Khz DVD's and Blu-ray discs I have!

Now I have to think about that remote...

I can only speak from using a Upnp server for which the Bridge will allow control from a computer when the user does not own an Apple control device.

I am up and running using Jriver software and it works well enough. PSA just released a firmaware update to fix issues with Twonky server software but I couldn't get that to work. No worries though as the folks at PSA are very proactive when it comes to solving issues. They contacted me when I posted my frustration! That speaks volumes.

For years I ran a SB3, then modded it, then bought a Transporter, then a Oppo BDP83, the BDP83SE, then modded that! Then I purchased the PerfectWave DAC and ran coax from the Oppo to the PWD. Then I purchased the PWT (transport) which connects I2S. So then I found myself back to spinning discs. It was after all the best sound I had heard through my system. I've only had the Bridge less than 2 weeks so I don't like to comment much on sound quality until it's had some hours on it (and my ears get some listening hours too).

Now I'm boxing up my CD's making sure everything is ripped properly to my libraries.

I haven't AB's Transport vs Bridge yet, but my ears are telling me this; maybe the best sound I've heard anywhere and is this really 44.1. I'm excited. And if I can simply, easily, scroll through libraries with an IPAD or whatever iDevice I get, all the better. Hell, maybe even dad can finally choose the music of his choice (he's 92).

But like anything else computer oriented, these are still the dark ages in computerland.
