Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ......
Steve N: i disagree with your statement "If you want to not only beat, but exceed the performance of the very best CD transports/players, you will need to use USB.my PWDII/Bridge/PWT has "exceeded" every USB set-up i've heard to date. and i'm not ...

Gz, i use DVD Audio Extractor 
High Resolution Downloads
i've been burning them to DVD-A in 24/192 for years. sounds utterly fantastic and is my favorite medium for playback. you're out of luck with CD's. 
PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2
i'll second Vhiner's comments and take it one step further. my PWDII/Bridge/PWT are the most sensitive pieces of gear i've ever owned. power supply, power cords, fuses and vibration/isolation all made substantial improvements in sound...when simil... 
People buying Transports again?
have wanted to sell my PS Audio PWT for almost two years now. problem is...every-time i listen to it....i can't bring myself to part with the thing.love the convenience of streaming via the PWDII/Bridge...sounds really good too. but the PWT almost... 
I2S, S/PDIF, Toslink connections
did some extensive testing of the I2S connection when i got my PS Audio PWT/PWD back in 2009. all three listeners easily preferred the I2S connection....and i stress the "easily" part as it was obvious to us. we went on to compare the set-up to hi... 
my quest for computer desktop speakers
i'll second the The Audio Engine A5's. have had them for a while now with no complaints (for computer speakers that is) 
Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it?
i literally laughed out loud when i started reading about fuses on PS Audio's forum a couple years back. thought these people were nuts. then i read a few well respected member chime in with positive feedback. decided what the hell...i spend that ... 
Oppo 105 or PS Audio PWD Mk2
Dspr: i can relate to enjoying reading about the artist/album while listening. depending on the controller used to run the psa bridge, i've found just as much if not more to read with J River mc18 on my ipad3. countless photo's and histories are a... 
PS audio PWD MK2 a real upgrade from MKI?
ditto Vhiner's comments regarding the upgrade and the fuses. both are well worth the price of admission imho 
PSAudio in trouble?
"PSAudio in trouble???....they are selling units faster then they can make them and you think that's "trouble" for them?. hmmmm?i think they're very happy with the way things are going... with the exception of wishing they could produce more. =)ma... 
How important is the transport when using a DAC?
not sure how to "demonstrate" it for you Gumby?? (without inviting you over with a cheap transport in hand). i've hooked up several cheap transports/cd players to my PWDmk2 and they all sounded obviously worse...compared to my PWT.can't/won't make... 
Aerial Acoustics vs. Joseph Audio
my comments are limited to the 7t's. have never listened to the Joseph Audio Perspective. having owned 7b's for several years, i consider myself an Aerial fan and was looking forward to hearing and maybe even upgrading to the 7t's. i listen to all... 
CD vs FLAC
yep...wav sounds slightly better to me as well, but didn't want to comment since the op never mentioned wav. that being said...i've had way more meta data issues using wav. flac seems to do better in that regard.Steve N....your statement rings tru... 
CD vs FLAC
depends on your cd player or transport/dac combo imho. i have noticed very slight differences between FLAC/CD using PSA's pwt/pwd vs the pwd/bridge (pwt sounds a tiny bit better to my ears using I2S). these "differences" (improvements) are only no...
