| Squeezebox Duet - digital mods - which are best? Indeed, Rick Cullen, Cullen Circuits, will be offering I2S mods (via HDMI). With the Bridge forthcoming later this year however, I feel this is a mute point. The mod may very well cost as much, or nearly as much, as the Bridge. If you go with the ... | |

| Squeezebox Duet - digital mods - which are best? Rollier -I did indeed compare the PWD to the Transporter, as the Transporter was connected to the same reference system that we used to audition the PWD -we ran the Transporter through the PWD. There is a clear and immediate difference in resoluti... | |
| Squeezebox Duet - digital mods - which are best? I did a lot of reading on this very subject because I own the Duet and my music server has become my primary source. What I learned was very interesting, but not definitive. To address all of the issues, one would have to spend a great deal of mon... | |

| Music or Lyrics? Music, just music, communicates deeply within ones soul. Words are however the most relevant, most effective, and the most powerful source of communication. Truly great literature can be as moving as great music. A poorly written or poorly convey... | |
| New PS Audio PerfectWave The PWD/PWT is SOOO good. I ordered the PWD because the Bridge/PWD combination will provide the same level of performance as the PWD/PWT. With the Trade-Up promotion, I spent $2,000. If this thing DOESN'T sound as good (or even better) than the $8... | |
| DAC with the best midrange ever..... Go here to learn about the current Trade-Up Promotion, which features a trade in up to $1,000 for any transport or DAC, based on the original MSRP. So, for $2,000 plus the trade on your old/current $1,000(+) DAC and/or transport... | |
| New PS Audio PerfectWave I'm pretty sure the OP is referring to the new PS-A power cables -you know...like in Cables Forum. | |
| DAC with the best midrange ever..... I just spent the better part of the afternoon yesterday auditioning the new Perfect Wave DAC and Transport from PS Audio. The combination was the best digital front end Ive heard so far. I purchased the PWD because the forthcoming Bridge device... | |
| there are 4 answers; refer to them by number 13. I acknowledge that this is a stupid thread. | |
| SB duet dig to theta casanova vs transporter dac The OP suggested that the Transporter might be an option. It handles up to 192/24 (natively), which is very different than upsampling. Furthermore, the Perfect Wave DAC would be a monetary lateral move, since the TP costs about $2,000 and PSA wo... | |
| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? The biggest criticism of class D has been that the regulating of power via switching modes results in greater distortion than what is typically present in good A, A/B designs; and that the necessary filtering processes utilized in class D aren’t e... | |
| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? Sounds like a speaker placement issue to me. Proper speaker setup will really make big differences in soundstage (especially depth). How far away from the back, front and side walls are the speakers placed; is there gear between the speakers; how ... | |
| SB duet dig to theta casanova vs transporter dac One thing to consider is that the Transporter will play sample rates up to 192/24 natively, whereas the Duet (and other SB devices) will only play up to 48/24 natively. So with the Duet, you are only capable of feeding your Theta 48/24. Higher sam... |
