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!

i own the ps audio ps\wt and pwd. i also own ps audio's most expensive hdmi cable. i find it my least favorite interface.

i also have the ess sabre dac (minimax dac). for the price, it is a much better value than the pwd and gives it a run for its mony, at 1/4 the retail price.

i think the transport is a better component, relative to other transportsa than the pwd is relative to other dacs.

there is nothing like having a tube in a dac.
