Does this dac exist?

Srwooten - I have given serious consideration to the PerfectWave dac, but I don't like the idea of being limited to PS Audio's proprietary software. One of the reasons is that I would like to be able to utilize plugins for EQ, for example. Do you know if the PS Audio software will support plugins, like Pure Music does?

BTW, I commented in my last post that I wished technologies in computer audio would advance faster. What I really meant is that I wish they would *converge* faster. It is the lack of standardization that is a bit confusing and sometimes frustrating.

You are not limited to PSA's software at all. In fact I don't use it. Their music server software is still BETA.

J River has plug ins but they will not work with DNLA yet. I do not know if it ever will, but it seems to me to be a logical direction for them to move.If you use plug-ins via your software through any PWD input other than the Bridge they will work.

Srwooton - Sorry, I should have been more explicit. In my second post on 3/16, I wrote:

...what I'm looking for is a dac/computer interface that...

(1) ...is very low in jitter.

(2) ...allows the dac to communicate with the computer such that the data delivered to the dac is error corrected (as ethernet can, as I understand it).

(3) ...allows the computer to be placed far away from the dac (30 feet+).

(4) ...allows for the use of software, like Amarra or Pure music, that is not proprietary to the dac.

If my understanding is correct, the PS Audio PWD, when using the Bridge, provides for the first three items above, but not the forth. That is what I was trying to say in my last post.

I see.
