PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade
What do you mean invisible? 
PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade
No one outside of PS audio has heard it yet. 
DAC recomendations $1500-$3000
Irrespective of the sonic merits of the North Star, having been an avid buyer and seller of used audio gear for 10+ years, I have learned to stay away from the esoteric pieces. Very hard to resell. Even if you got what you thought was a killer dea... 
PerfectWave DAC / Zodiac Gold Shootout Round 1
Yes that is the one. Has a few hundred hours on it (I had it for two weeks). I had a hunch they would sell it as a demo. Zodiac does not allow them to sell new units below list, but discounting say 10% on a demo will win them the deal any day, so ... 
DAC recomendations $1500-$3000
I did not want to create bad vibes and though it might have been an isolated incident, but in dealing with my (cancelled) PS Audio P10 order my MSS HiFi contact (I believe it was the owner) appeared to be a total jerk. Seems like I dodged a bullet! 
DAC recomendations $1500-$3000
They are grey market - you will have no warrenty on this, although they say they will take care of you if you have a problem. I actually ordered a cheap P10 PS audio conditioner from them, which they then could not deliver (fortunately - I ended u... 
DAC recomendations $1500-$3000
PS audio is releasing an upgrade to the perfectwave DAC for $1000 this month. If it is as good as suggested, this may well turn the PWD into a giant killer. Worth waiting a few more weeks and hear initial reports. You could score a used PWD for le... 
Does a center channel have to match the front spke
My new Salk Soundscape that replaces a Kef 204c center channel arrived lost week. The midrange driver of the Salk matches my Eidolons. I am quite pleased with the upgrade, but it was not night and day as was going from Revel to Kef. 
DAC recomendations $1500-$3000
The only "DACs" that handle SACD input are either using a proprietary protocol (Meridian, EMM Labs and others), or they are Surround Sound Processors with HDMI interface. There is no other way to get SACD (either native DSD or converted to high re... 
Center channel for Avalon Eidolons
So four months later my Salk Soundscape Center arrived, replacing my Kef 204c. First, based on build quality and components used this $2900 center would cost at least double from an established manufacturer with dealer network and overhead/marketi... 
WAV vs. FLAC vs. AIFF
I just did an A/B comparison with Flacs and Wav of the same tracks in the same playlist, allowing me to switch. I heard no discernable difference. 
Paul Motian RIP
I never fully appreciated how good a player he really was until I (recently!) "discovered" Tethered Moon. He really shines in this ensemble. 
Should I upgrade to the Theta casablanca III HD
Just checked your system. You got to be kidding me. The upgrade will set you back 20% of the price of your speaker cables, and take all your multi channel material up three notches. Whoever quoted you $7,000 (list price $5,000) for the upgrade pro... 
PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade
They cut over to the new site. Keying in www.psaudio.com works just fine, but the discussion forum is not accessible. 
Should I upgrade to the Theta casablanca III HD
If you already own the cards the upgrade is a no brainer. I had the same two cards, but also a Marantz ud9004 and a six shooter, so I decided to stick with MCH analog and sold my Xtreme card. If you do not have a sunk investment in an analog signa...
