Perfectwave Dac - computer audio options

I thought the Touch was only being used as a remote to control the music coming from the PC to the DAC?

The Squeezebox Touch is used as a streamer to stream files from the PC to the PW Dac.

Gotcha.... sorry I should have read a little closer...

i own the ps audio ps\wt and pwd. i also own ps audio's most expensive hdmi cable. i find it my least favorite interface.

i also have the ess sabre dac (minimax dac). for the price, it is a much better value than the pwd and gives it a run for its mony, at 1/4 the retail price.

i think the transport is a better component, relative to other transportsa than the pwd is relative to other dacs.

there is nothing like having a tube in a dac.

Mrtennis,
Why not try a different HDMI Cable. Call Frank at Signal Cable and try his cable. It sounds great, with a much different musical perspective than the PS Audio. I have both. I like both. But the PS Audio appeart to be more forward and bold sound that with certain speakers (and recordings) is just what the Doctor ordered. However I find myself listening most often to the Signal Cable HDMI. Frank has a fully refundable trial offer. I don't like to describe things as more analog or tube sounding, but that would be a good comparison. The Signal Cable HDMI I believe has both copper and silver wire in its present incarnation. (Though it could be just copper also!) I'm sure the Sabre DAC is nice, I've heard that from other people. However experimentation with another HDMI might be the way to go hear if you've not tried something else.
Best wishes and happy listening!
