| PS Audio PW vs. Bryston BDA-1 vs. Wyred 4 Sound just a comment about the digital interface between the ps audio pwt and pwd. i own the pair and have compared the hdmi (top-of-the line), coax and fiber optic.for my taste the hdmi was producing a spectrally unbalanced sound. there was too much tr... | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? ps audio perfect wave transport and dac will process the hi resolution format available from reference recordings. this format is in the form of a dvr output at 24/192.i am not convinced that the format itself sounds better than a well recordede r... | |

| Select Your Less Than Ideal System i would like to explain my position because i am obviously in the minority, or , as one would say in statistics, an outlier.first of all, audio is a very subjective hobby. one cannot second guess another person's perceptions.terms like "moderate" ... | |
