PS Audio PWT and PWD MK II--recent acquisiton

you can download the trial version for free and decide for yourself whether it's worth it or not. I do agree with Cerrot regarding using a pci usb soundcard. Paul Pang makes a nice one for $129, which is what I use. It is powered by an Acopian AC/... 
PS Audio Direct Stream
There are non-PSA units with I2S outputs that can connect to the Directstream. W4S server is one example.

Descriptions of sounds are mostly meaningless. You have to actually hear them to understand.
