Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Perfect Wave?

i own the pwt and pwt. i prefer coax over ps audio's silver hdmi cable. my stereo system is on the soft side and my room is over damped. yet the ps audio combo sounds analytical. i have selected power cords and interconnects , in order to soften the sound. i can only think of several possibilities for my divergence from the previous posters:

1) insufficient break-in time

2)significant difference s in preference

3)significant differences in perception

my audionote cd2 from 1990 sounds better than the ps audio com,bo and my ess sabre dac/audionote cd2 combo is also preferred.

i find that the ps audio combo while very extended from top to bottom is fatiguing unless you use the best cds.

i think you can eliminate #1 as an option MrTennis. seems you have plenty of run time on your pair judging from one of your previous posts.

if you prefer the sound of your cd2 then it's gotta be #2 or #3...or a combo of both?.

i'm amazed that you use the words "analytical" and "fatiguing". my experience has been the exact opposite. one of the first things that jumped out at me was the smooth and non fatiguing sound.

just goes to show ya....different strokes for different folks. we're all looking for the same end result....sound that makes us happy. what that sound is and how to get it is where we all differ ;-).

I agree with Lev, the PWT/PWD combo is quite good -- in my system it replaced the EMM Labs CDSA SE player. Based on my dealer's recomendation, I am using the Harmonic Technology I2S copper cable to connect the two boxes. I am not sure it is even on the Harmonic Tech web-site yet but compared to the PS Audio silver cable it is much more natural sounding in my system. Using the Jena Labs power cables also enhances the music produced by the combo.

SACD of Carmina Burana so I'm not sure why you believe the PerfectWave system is incable of playing SACDs.

The PWT in fact will not support SACD. The disc that you played must be a hybrid - in which case you are hearing only the CD layer of said disk. The Perfect Wave combo will however reproduce truly exceptional results with standard Redbook discs.

O.K., anyone heard the PS Audio with a Krell pure CAST system through Magico speakers?
I think I'm getting buzzed...
