Using the PerfectWave DAC MK II
I am. Moved from W4S DAC2. The PSA is excellent for the money if you buy it used; not so sure at new price. Very versatile, outstanding detail and soundstage, a bit on the Ying side of the musical universe unless you put some BD cones ior the like... 
Transparent Audio? JPS? Nordost? Kubala Sosna?
I have JPS Aluminata and Nordost Valhallas in my system. Bioth are first rate: Valhalla a buit faster and more transparent; JPS a bit better body and bass.Better sounding than both IMS is Stealth Indra. These really combine the best of both, plus....

Thanks, Powder. A bit out of my flight range.I may have to wait until the NY Audio Show in April. Cannot buy a speaker this expensive without a long listen. Everyone says show demos may not properly reflect (no pun intended) the qualities of a spe...

Bryston BDP Digital Player - MPaD Application
There is a Byston BDP-1 forum on AudioCircle, where you are most likely to get an educated response. I use MPOD on my iPhone and it works fine, though it is somewhat basic. I know many people use MPAD on their iPads, as will I soon when I get my f... 
PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2
