Since you are already using a PS Audio PWD II, why don't you wait for a little until more people hear the new PS Audio Direct Stream DAC? There is a kit available for retrofitting a Perfect Wave DAC for $3K. Paul McGowan claims that you will hear things from regular CD's that you didn't know were there before. It seems the people that he had at the launch of the Direct Stream were impressed.
I would sit on the new purchase while you shop around until there are more people that listen to the new PS Audio DAC. That will provide a wider range of opinions to prove or disprove marketing hype.
