PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade

Paul had mentioned the new PWD will msrp for $1k more then the original.

Mr Tennis and Sgr both make good points. no way to tell how good it is until it's plugged into your own gear. the return policy helped me get around that. also helping was the fact that many of us have more funds wrapped up in a single pair of ic's then this upgrade will cost. as crazy as this sounds...the thought of noticeable sound improvement for $800 seems cheap right about now lol!.

no doubt some will not like it. am yet to see an audio product everyone agrees on. am looking forward to finding out for myself....soon!!

cheers

Well I agree with Lev great upgrade price. And I'm ordering today!

The $800 upgrade price tag is a real bargain if you consider what it would cost you to trade the MARK I version in for a new MARK II version. With depreciation, you’d be lucky to get off for $1,500 (plus the trade) and likely even closer to $2,000.

I’m very excited about the upgradability of this unit. Since we will necessarily need to open up the hood to do the upgrade, are there any recommendations for additional tweaking? I know the upgrade comes with a new HiFi Tuning fuse, but I wonder if anyone has any thoughts about further “upgrades?” (there are two fuses in the PWD; does the upgrade include one or two fuses?)...

"Why offer an outlet with a nickel coating, tout it as the best, produce a gold-plated version, cancel both products and then offer two multi-kilo Power Plants with the inferior outlet?"

I believe Paul had mentioned in one of the forum posts that the P5 had the Power Ports and the P10 had the Power Port Premier. Is this not the case?

The outlets are gray not black.
