Best DAC for CD redbook playback from a PS Audio Perfectwave transport

Okay, now it gets more interesting. Metrum DAC (without the I2S connection) vs PSA PWD MkII? Anyone know (for CD playback)?

I have the PS Audio PerfectWave transport and DirectStream DAC, with a PS Audion I2S (HDMI) cable, and it’s the best combination I’ve auditioned.

I have had the DirectStream DAC now for about 18 months and am really impressed with the detail it extracts from CDs, even better when I added the transport (my latest acquisition).  The great thing about that DAC (besides the quality) is that updates are made available on a fairly frequent basis, each one of them has improved the performance.  Thoroughly happy with both products.

On the advice of one of my audio buddies (retired electrical engineer), I also purchased a PS Audio P10 power plant, "power regenerator".  When I added the P10, I noticed an immediate improvement in the performance of the DAC.

The PWT is an excellent CD transport and will work well with any high quality DAC IMO. I use the PWT with a Yamamoto DAC and have heard it used with an Aesthetic Pandora  DAC as well. In both cases the sound quality was terrific via rca input /cables. 
Charles, 

Thanks all thus far. In the meantime, I found the following from a review in Home Theater by Brian Kahn "I found the Bridge to provide the best sound, with the PerfectWave Transport via I2S a close second." That's reassuring.

Thanks all. Just splurged (it was my birthday) because I got a good price on a PS Audio DSD Junior + Wire World Platinum hdmi cable. Will post results after burn-in.
