PS Audio Perfectwave vs Directstream DAC

I've been both told, and have read, that the newer version of the DAC is superior in quite a noticeable amount over the older one.  But here's my question:  If only using it to stream music via the Bridge II, is there still going to be an improvement in sound quality since both units use the same Bridge?

Thanks, and stay safe.

@audiodwebe I bought a PS Audio DS DAC last week and they are on close-out now.  I would guess that the upgrade from the PW to DS is as well.  I'd call them (they don't have plans to put the sale prices on the website... yet anyway) and see what they're selling the kits for.  The DSD was over 40% off.

Thanks for the info, audiom3.

cal7313, your ears are the only ones that matter so good for you that you found a sound you like.  I've never heard of Audio Mirror so will theck them out.

Cheers, and stay safe.

@audiodwebe Thanks.  I genuinely wish I knew the reason I don't like the DSD.  Would be useful to learn what's going on so I could understand my ears better.  High noise floor and rolled off bass (two measured properties of the DSD) don't capture it.
