PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2


Has anyone done a comparo between these two DAC's. Love my W4S Dac2 but if the PWD MkII is a big step up, I might get the itch. Most interested in coax connection; less in USB.

Thanks.

If you're not interested in, 1) computer audio via the new MK2 USB interface, or 2) stored digital files via the Bridge,then I wouldn't recommend making the change. If you are strictly a CD user (for your digital), then you might consider the PWD MK2 and the PWT (via I2S), as that combo is definitely something to aspire to. If you get a chance to audition the PWD2/PWT combo, keep in mind that the PWD2/Bridge is (very) close.
Hi Neal,

Cannot help...but pls post if you hear them. More interested in learning about the PS PWTransport II. particularly their i2s output and how the transport compares to the all-out transports: esoteric, mbl, cec, zanden, etc...
i'd seen this comparison with the Mk I:
