Perfectwave Dac - computer audio options

Hi,

I have my Perfectwave Dac and also a Sqeezebox Touch. I have Flac files on my PC.

Where to go from here:

1. Buy a 2010 Mac Mini as a server and run USB to the PW Dac?
2. Buy a 2010 Mac Mini as a server and run a M2Tech USB to coax cable to my PW Dac?
3. Use my Touch coax into my PW Dac as I am now doing.
4. Put my money into the new Bridge from PS Audio and stream files from my PC.
5. Put my money into the new Bridge from PS Audio and stream files from new 2010 Mac Mini? (most expensive option)

Needless to say, this gets a bit confusing on where to go from here for the best performance.

If I purchased a new Mac Min, I would probably by Pure Music to run on it too, based on what I have read.

The upcoming Bridge is priced about equal to a new Mac Mini. I like Rhapsody and Pandora in addition to my music files.

Any experiences or help?

Thanks!

If you like to get the best out of the PWD, you need the PWT with the PSA I2S-12 HDMI connection. The second best is thru the Bridge. If you don't take advantage of these two methods, you don't need the PWD in the first place.

Once you hear the PWT/PWD combo with the RR HRx disc, you will not turn back.
