Using the PerfectWave DAC MK II

Emil, I sold my PW Transport (and I sometimes regret it) before I decided to also sell my PW DAC MK II and I can honestly say they are a match made in haven using the I2S connection. I know of others who have compared the PW MK II and the Wyred DAC1 and DAC2 and as nice as the Wyred are the PW MK II is in another league.
The I2S is a much better why to go then a 75 ohm cable if you have a choice.
If you have the PW Transport do your self a favor and GET a PW DAC MK II, whomever it is from.

agree with Hifial. i've wanted to ditch my pwt since installing the bridge, but can't bring myself to doing so. system sounds great streaming but when it's time for critical listening...i still reach for the shiny disc's. the pwt/pwd-mk2 combo via I2S connection sounds fantastic. tough to beat period when it come to hi-res burned to dvd imho.

Emil - the I2S is significantly better on the W4S DAC2 than the USB or S/PDIF inputs. You should be driving it with your transport I2S. Get a good cable, like the HDMI-12 on sale at partsconnexion.com With a USB to I2S converter, it is killer good.

Unfortunately the Wyred DAC1 does not have an I2S input like the DAC 2

I'm late responding to this thread, but I recently picked up a PWD MK II, and I'm loving it.

I had been using an Opus 21 CDP/DAC, sometimes playing from the computer via a HagUSB into the 96 input on the Opus. Now I'm wondering if I'll ever go back.

I'm driving the PWD from a Mac Mini, external disk, via a Stilnote USB cable, direct to a new Spectron Musician III Mk2 amp.

Especially for the price, I couldn't be more pleased with the setup.
