PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport/DAC experiences
FYI, my uncle has the PWT/PWD and he thinks it is the best he's owned period. It replaced the Wadia 931 processor. Before that he had the Esoteric P01VU and the D01VU with the G0-Rb (don't know if there was a VU version of the clock but if it exis... 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
Hmm, I used to run my Bidat directly into the amp (I owned a Super Bidat in the late 1997-98) and my new Bidat which is currently with John Wright being converted to the Super and Plus updates (which by the way John informed is now both updates ro... 
Bel Canto Dac2 light always green... is it okay?
You're welcome. I leave most of gear on 24/7 except my Graaf Modena...tooo hot and too energy inefficient. My dacs and SS amps stay on all constantly. 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
I agree Njedi I think the fact that you can use the MSB as a pre is awesome as I can directly feed my future TT though the MSB (should it win the contest) and have one less component in the chain. I really wish I could have one of those simple sys... 
Bel Canto Dac2 light always green... is it okay?
No, L.E.D's last for a very very very long time typically over 100K hours. It is locked because the DIP is doing it's job by providing a stable clock which will replace the clock from your' drive unit. You are all good, not to worry. And even if y... 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
I agree this is what makes the hobby fun. I have also decided to add a TT to my system in order to really be able to compare to my own analog front end. I have already compared my (pre modded) bidat to the SOTA Vac table (I think approc $5k) using... 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
Vhiner thanks for the enthusiasm :) I will be posting the review (my own humble opinions) as soon as I get my Bidat back. As great as it sounds it was stock. John Wright of Museatex fame currently has my unit in hand and is doing the full upgrade ...

Worldcat thank you so much for taking time to address my concerns. I check this thread every so often to get others feedback. I really appreciate all the input. 
What gives? CD’s, Solid State?
I will bet you anything it is not just because it is solid state or because it is CD. People can argue cd is no good ad-infinitum BUT I have heard CD better than a 10K analog rig and I have heard a 1K turntable sound better than CD.As a person who... 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
I can tell you I expect the MPD to be better. But the Bidat currently is my ref. 
What is the best DAC ever made?
Bidat. Oh, and bespoke is certainly not limited to just clothing, while yester-year it may have been used primarily in reference to clothing, it is used for nearly all things custom made and usually of a more high-end nature :) 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
LOL!!!!! I have Romy before and found him to be a bit gruff to say the least. Very opinionated and always right (in his world). I am leaning towards the Music Playback Design for my high res files. I will post here when I have and give it a chance... 
I'm shocked
I owned the US $7K Dynastation Dynavox II cd player which is based on the PS 1 but uses a trick NOS Tube output stage and tube rectification for the analog output. Absolutelty the BEST single box player I have ever heard or owned and that is a LON... 
Amarra for iTunes at RMAF...
I left the BIOS argument alone, some things in audio are so far flung I just opt to stay away, but I would like to report that I have decided to purchase the Amarra software. After careful listening sessions I am convinced (well 95% convinced and ... 
Amarra for iTunes at RMAF...
I don't buy the bios burn in at all. Doesn't mean it's not true, just means I don't believe it. I know there is a lot of non-sense non-science as it relates to audio and I think the BIOS "burn in" lends itself to that camp :)
