I compared the Perfect Wave to an ARC DAC 8 , the DAC8 was in another league all together , I bought it . The DAC7 's USB input is not fully isochonous and may not be the best choice for your situation ( computerized music ) .
PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC vs. ARC DAC7 ??
Has anybody compared these 2 DACs ?? I am looking to purchase a separate DAC (I already have an Arcam CD23 CDP). The 2 DACs mentioned are available used for approximately the same price. I want to enter the world of computerized music. The rest of my system is ARC SP3c preamp and ARC VT100MkII power and AZ Adagio speakers. Thanks for the recommendations.
