Knghifi,Thanks for your response. 
Does the Transport make a significant difference
Should I upgrade from the Perfectwave DAC II to the Directstream or keep the Perfectwave DAC II and upgrade my transport from a NAD 565bee CD player to a PS Audio PerfectWave Transport? I just upgraded my preamp and this will be my last upgrade fo... 
D-Sonic amp vs Halo A31
I'm hesitant to respond because I've never listened to D-Sonic amps. I owned the Peachtree 220SE and their Grand Integrated, both of them are Class D amps. It's my understanding that D-Sonics amps sound much better than Peachtree, but based on my ... 
Wilson Sophia 2
I've owned Wilson Sophia 2s, 3s, and Sashas. There aren't any absolutes in Audio and everyone has their own preferences; however based on my experience I would strongly encourage you to listen to Rockport Atrias, Revel, and Aerial speakers. I curr... 
Krell S300i vs Hegel H100 vs Parasound
I've never heard the Parasound Integrated, but based on my experience I find it hard to believe that the treble would sound hot. I currently own a Parasound A21 and have owned and heard other Parasound amps. I submit Parasound is on the "warm" sid...

Nothing is/was wrong with the preamp. I don't have a "new preamp yet"; I'm currently running the PS Audio PWD through the P5. Prior to receiving the new DAC, I was going from my CD player to the preamp. Now I'm going from my CD player via a digita...

Raymonda,Okay you win...I'm not going to argue with you about what I hear in my system. I try to be very careful about not exaggerating my findings. The facts are the soundstage has opened up and there is more spacing between instruments. I look f...

Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to audition a new transport or preamp. My other thought was add a JL Audio sub for now and down the road upgrade my source or preamp. All three options are within the same price range. With the exception ...

Nothing is wrong with my system. In addition to the new DAC, I changed my digital cable, speaker cable, and went to a balanced cable from amp to preamp. The soundstage has opened up tremendously.

Knghifi,The PWD II is only 2 weeks old. It has pushed my system to a new level. Yes, there is better and/or different, but I'm not willing to play the game. I'll add the PWT and be content for now.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'll make a decision on my next move after I receive the PS Audio PWT. 
Does the Transport make a significant difference
Guidocorona,My priorities are spacing between instruments, imaging,and soundstaging. I want it all done with a neutral, natural sound. The Aerial 7T are very good accomplishing my priorities; therefore I want to maximize their capabilities.When I ...

Charles1dad,I really hope you are correct. Adding the PS Audio PWD II was significant to my ears and if the PWT adds a little bit more I'll be extremely happy. Now trying to find a preamp to complete my system.
