After years of loving my Audio Research CDT1 Transport ( and having the laser replaced and then the tray mechanism ) , I started looking for something new and stumbled, by accident on Paul McGowan doing his PS Audio YouTube posts. I took a leap of faith and bought a PerfectWave Transport and was exceptionally pleased. The I2S intrigued me and led me to replace my Classe' DAC with PW DAC MK II w/ Bridge. Incredible upgrade.
That led to a P10 regenerator . Musically life changing !
After dusting off my Denon DP-3000 and getting back into my vinyl, I replaced my old Parasound phono pre with a PSA NuWave Phono Pre that let me experiment with its I2S to Dac and analog XLR to PreAmp connects and USB to Laptop rip connect . Wonderful improvement !
I almost pulled the trigger on a new BHK Signature Pre , but I couldn't break up my Pass Pre & Power Amp duo because they just work so well together and "play" well with the PSA equipment. Pass just got my preamp in for a "tuneup & checkout" and I can't wait to get it back. ( Note that going from PSA DAC direct Amp without the Pass PreAmp still sounds pretty damn good. )
I'll trade in my PW DAC in for a new DSD DAC probably for Christmas because I'm already sold on how it will further my listening experience.
PS Audio customer service has been second to none and when I call with questions on anything about my system or trade-ups , they never fail to impress. ( As do Pass Labs & Kimber also ) .
I like being treated as "family" !
Happy Listening all and ...
