PS audio PWD MK2 a real upgrade from MKI?

I own the MKI with the bridge and I am considering on sending the unit to PS audio for upgrade, it will be $900, so I decided to ask the audio community to see what is their experience with the upgrades, for me as a full time graduate student every move it has to be done wisely cause I don't have extra cash to be experimenting.
I will really appreciate your comments and personal experience in this journey, the reviews are excellent but I want to hear from this forum before any further move or desition.
King regards and Thank you once more.

Hi Vhiner, I admit that my ears are not the most sensitive and I do not get to listen to a lot of different gear. Maybe I should have explained that in my post.

So if the OP is good at hearing differences he should take your advice. If he sometimes wonders what all the fuss is about when he hears an upgrade, maybe he should save the money.

Add me as another (relative) "night and day" vote. Before the MKII upgrade I liked the convenience of the DAC and liked, but did not love the sound. Now I really do love the unit. One of the best purchases I made while upgrading the stereo was getting that MKII board.

Based on advice I decided not to upgrade to the mkII, and wait for something new to come out, certainly as a graduate student I don't have tons of cash for the hobby now.
I will wait and see.

Waiting for the right time *always* makes sense. Happy trails.
