Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge


I installed the new Bridge into my DAC Saturday. It took about 10 minutes to get it installed and playing music. The sound is like nothing I've heard from digital or analog. The sound is so much more transparent, sweet, and more dynamic than the PWT, my Levinson Reference 31.5 and 30.6 DAC, or any analog rig I've heard, it's hard to believe. It has a sense of pace and rightness to the sound that sends tingles up the spine. And this was at Redbook resolution, when we moved up to 24/96, all I can say is you have to hear it to believe it! Got to go. More details soon.

On further listening, while the bridge is extremely dynamic, transparent, quiet, and above all fun to listen to, there are differences between it and the PWT. The PWT does have an earthy, rich sound the bridge is not portraying. I suspect the way the files were ripped could be a factor. Ethernet cables between server and bridge could also be a factor. More experimentation is due. Now I'm using the Assent software included with JRiver to stream the data between server and bridge. PS Audio claims there forthcoming software will be better as it is designed to work with music files. Though maybe not as wonderful as I remarked earlier, it has a quality about it that I find hard to turn off and go off to work.
What dacs was the PWD compared to before purchase(it seems many want sell it)?
I compared my PWD to Levinson Reference which I owned at the time. I'm not sure why so many are for sale. People are free to change their minds I guess Or is it because the line is pretty easy to get and dealers can sell PS Audio without fear of sanctions?
...(it seems many want sell it)?


Currently, there are six PWD (DAC) units for sale on AGon, of which only two are used (placed by end-users). The other four units are advertisments placed by dealers (three of which are for new units and one of which is for a demo unit).

My guess is that the dealers want to sell them becuase that's what they do for a living!!
I'm with you Sgr, I can't get enough of mine either. I've had my Bridge for about a month now (DAC for about a year). I just love it! I'm also using JRiver which has grown on me too. I ripped all my DVD-A's to my PC and they sound stellar! Also got some really great hi-rez downloads from HD Tracks.
