PS Audio CD Memory Transport?? Yes Or NO

Dylan fan,
I’ve owned mine for 6 years. It is good straight out of the shipping but improves noticeably with additional hours of use. I think that it’s a wonderful CD transport. Congratulations to you!
Charles,

charles1dad. Thanks for the comment. What DAC are you using with yours. I have the basic Wyred 4 Sound I will be using. This quality piece will probably warrant an upgrade on my DAC next. We will see. I will keep you posted.

I use the Yamamoto YDA 01  DAC. I've also heard the PWT with a friend's Aesthetic Pandora  and Bricasti SE DACS. It is terrific sounding with any good quality DAC in my opinion. 

I'm not sure if you have USB 2.0 support or not.

If so, any streamer, or any home built PC should do a very good job feeding a USB 2.0 capable DAC that is driverless for Linux/OSX. I built my own 2TB server/streamer for around $600 to feed a Mytek Brooklyn PCM and DSD. Works great.

I will say that different DACs have different levels of source sensitivity. My ARC was much more sensitive than my Mytek via coax. It required an exceptionally well clocked source to sound great. In demo's I've heard, an Ayre was also "sensitive" like this, but the Schiit was not.

While experimenting with alternatives I did find teh Wyred4Sound Remedy reclocker. It worked great on Internet sources. If you are a die-hard CD player kind of guy, I'd suggest an alternative like this may give you the most consistent results, but not the convenience of a streamer. :)


Best,


Erik

I got my ps audio memory transport hooked up last night from the HDMI cable to my Wyred 4 sound HDMI input. Man it sounds great. Older CDs sounds a lot better. Nothing was unlistenable like my other CDs players playing older CDs. Well mastered CDs sound amazing. I am really pleased with this. Now wondering what difference at PS audio Dac would make.
