| PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade There is an unconditional 30 day money back for the upgrade, even if you buy at the early adopter price of $800, so if you don't like it you can just send it back. In the absence of a 2nd PWD you are partially dependent on your sonic memory for th... | |
| Does a center channel have to match the front spke A lot of debate about high-end audio is pure voodoo. Matching powercables anyone? That is part of the fun though. | |
| Should I upgrade to the Theta casablanca III HD Street price for the upgrade is about $3500 (list is $5000), so I presume you (think you) need new at least one new DAC cards. One of the best kept secrets about the CBIII HD upgrade is that it will actually work with the original superior card. Y... | |
| Does a center channel have to match the front spke I have been using a Kef 204c center channel with Revel Studio, Verity Audio parsifal and Avalon eidolon respectively, and I have always been very pleased with the result. However, ever susceptible to the "upgrade" itch I started looking around for... | |
| PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade Paul has mentioned it has been put on hold because of changing priorities. I also believe he mentioned that since the lens technology would be largely implemented in the PWD, its target audience would be non PWD users looking for a dejittering dev... | |
| PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade The analog switching improves all inputs "by desing". It appears the NativeX dejittering circuit improves SQ on all inputs (including I2S) as well, which comes as a surprise to the engineers and Paul, I presume because there was not supposed to be... | |
| PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade "Now, the DL2 has been cancelled once again for some other BS product. I don't have time for this kind of rubbish."The some other BS product you are referring to is actually an implementation of the "lens" technology on a board, available as upgra... | |
| Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range I bought (and sold) a pair of the original revel studios for $4000. You'll be hard pressed to find anything better for that price used. | |
| Whom to invite to a Powercord shootout party The party is over. I have $5K worth of powercables in my system, by most people's standards (i.e. the 99%) enough to get me admitted to a mental institution. The only holdout are the two cables from the wall to my two PS audio conditioners/regener... | |
| Whom to invite to a Powercord shootout party Here is what happened. I had set up my new PS audio P5's conditioners in a convenient (temporary) location behind my Monoblocks for the shootout. I had run my class A Monoblocks a few days non stop to burn in the P5's. The first time I swapped a p... | |
| PerfectWave DAC / Zodiac Gold Shootout Round 1 I did one final configuration change before sending the Zodiac back. I ran the Zodiac at full output through an active input on the Modwright. In this setup the PWD and Zodiac still sounded different, but I can not conclusively say which one I pre... | |
| PerfectWave DAC / Zodiac Gold Shootout Round 1 Balanced through the Modwright preamp. | |
| PerfectWave DAC / Zodiac Gold Shootout Round 1 I would only keep the Zodiac if it allows me to take out the Modwright for economic reasons (I would pay for the Zodiac by selling the Modwright). So even if the Zodiac + Modwright equals or bests the PWD + Modwright I would keep the PWD. However,... | |
| PerfectWave DAC / Zodiac Gold Shootout Round 1 Just completed round 2. I now ran the perfectwave through the Modwright preamp, and the Zodiac through the HT bypass on the Modwright. This allowed me to switch inputs in real time. Note that the MOdwright is a true fully passive bypass - it is no... | |
| PerfectWave DAC / Zodiac Gold Shootout Round 1 Levy, I have three options to run the PWD in this shootout. (1) Run the PWD directly into the poweramp using its digital volume control. (2) Run the PWD into the Zodiac (which has a full blown analog preamp build in) or (3) Run it through the Modw... |
