| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport For the record, the issue is not "I2S" verus "bridge" - the bridge is also I2S. You can see the PWT as a tranport with a bridge build in. Instead of bits coming in through ethernet the bits are read from a disc. The reason it should sound the same... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport Goes to show that no amount of engineering can take the voodoo out of high-end audio, and the only way to make good buying decisions is to listen to your favorite recordings after 5 rum and cokes and trust your subjective and fatally biased instin... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport I don't have the PWT but to me the PWT would have to beat the bridge by a dramatic margin to offset the loss of convenience of controlling the entire library from the iPhone. Throw in the additional cost of a PWT and for me it is a total non start... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport You forgot arguably the most important thing. The PWT uses the I2S interface with the PWD. | |
| Perfect Debute Albums If first solo albums are allowed then we absolutely need to include Lauryl Hill "The miseducation of Lauryl Hill". Picked up 5 grammy awards and deservedly so. | |
| Perfect Debute Albums Timrhu, even if we dismiss real Bjork's first album, her first serious recording is "Gling Glo" her one and only ever Jazz outing, which precedes "Debut". If you have not heard it I recommend you try to get your hands on a copy. Great stuff. | |
| Best "pseudo" multi channel from 2 ch sources I have not heard any multi channel expansion I liked done in the digital domain. However, the McCormack MAP1 analog Multi channel preamp expands 2 channel to 5.1 in the analog domain (called Ambiance Retrieval Mode [ARM]), and I really liked it. I... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? My take:Top performer (by a mile): Casey bottom three (three of these four): Paul, Stephano, Lauren and Haley.Worst performance (by a mile) and hopefully going home: PaulFrontrunner and guy to beat: ScottyInterestingly, this season is evolaving in... | |
| Verity Audio Amadis Owners, Listener Impressions? Jeff, the way to get more bass with the Verities is get two JL Audio 113's subs, an external crossover and a discrete 2 channel SVS sub equalizer. This will give you completely flat bass response from the subs, and very good integration with the V... | |
| Whom to invite to a Powercord shootout party I just ordered a pair of Mojo XPC-7 (30 day trial) and that will be the final contender in the lineup. I like to idea of having three different design principles represented: (Ribbon, Active Shielding and regular cable) | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? The boy to beat is Scotty. I don't like country and I find his G.W.Bush grin and asymetrical microphone handling annoying, but I can see he has real talent, commercial potential, and is amazingly mature for his age. | |
| Whom to invite to a Powercord shootout party I was in the PC = Snakeoil camp until I tried the PS audio ac-12 which really worked. No double blind tests so it is entirely possible this is all just the figment of my imagination. Even if this is the case I'm quite happy in my delusional world ... | |
| For all you Clapton fans.... Here is some blashphemy. Clapton is a magificent musician and I love most of his stuff, but I never hear him splilling his guts on the stage. He plays from the head not the heart. To me, the real deal is a guy like Stevie Ray that dies on stage a ... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums If we take some liberties and throw in "first solo albums" we have to mention Lauryl Hill's - The Miseducation of Lauryl Hill. I could not get enough of that album, and it picked up 5 grammys I believe. | |
| PS Audio Power Plant Premier Power Cables I swapped out my $150 heavy gauge cable for an AC-12 and found there to be no improvement. Should I move further up the cable foodchain to get the results you guys appear to be getting? I have been a PC sketic until the AC-12 finally delivered, bu... |
