PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade

Paul McGowan has leaked some information about a major upgrade the perfectwave DAC that will be coming out within the next few weeks. Pricing as of yet unknown, but current units will be field (DIY) upgradable.

Apparently, major changes were made to the digital processing board, involving changes in the powersupplies, and replacement of CMOS switching for the gates and clocking with analog switches.

Second, new jitter reducing circuitry called NativeX was implemented.

There are more as of yet unannounced new features.

Apparently, SQ on all inputs will benefit, including the bridge. Exciting stuff.

Superior sound from Bryston BDP-1 digital music player to PWD MK II dac compared to even the highest end transport, if:

- Good rips from CD's using DBpoweramp; or
- High quality download from good source; needn't be high res;
- Use the right digicable. Don't stint here, it makes an enormous SQ difference.

I was an Unbeliever, now I am not. Still one, though, as to computer itself as the source or streaming sources, as opposed to direct digital like the BDP-1.

One man's opinion.
