PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport/DAC experiences

New 6Moons review here

Sgr.

I wasn't aware that there was an update available for the PWD. I knew about the one for the PWT. I checked the PS Audio site, but I couldn't find anything on the PWD update. My PWD is registered, but when I click on my PS account, I don't see anything regarding the update.

Can you specify what does the PWD update entails and how I can download it?

Thanks.

The 6Moons article – while not much of an equipment review - really helps to illustrate where the industry is heading. In the future, there will be analog (turn tables) and digital (as in file format). The CD medium is a lame-duck. The recent decision by Linn to discontinue producing CD players is further evidence of things to come. The 6Moons article helps put into laymen terms why the physical CD medium is flawed and why (true) digital has never really been effectively implemented - or commercially available, until the recent emergence of true digital-based server systems.

As a medium, the true digital file has huge potential. The real challenge seems to be with timing/clocking elements during the analog conversion stage. It looks as if the advances being made in these areas of time domain are the real ticket to the digital Holy Grail. I don’t believe that we are necessarily seeing anything (yet) – in terms of “digital” that will truly supplant analog as we currently know it. Clearly though, the “new” digital is already supplanting the “old” digital. For me, this is the most exciting thing to ever happen in this industry. The digital solution has always held great potential. Until now, the means of realizing this potential has been flawed. CDs – love them or hate them, have always been a flawed medium. There really is no arguing that fact.

The Perfect Wave devices are among the leading-edge digital devices. There are others, and there will be more to come. Jump on now and enjoy…or wait until the next solution arrives. It looks like we are experiencing the infancy of a great new digital era. One that I am glad to be a part of…..

The PWD doesn't ship with an sd card (only the PWT) - at least my PWD did not come with one. How then is the update implemented? Will any sd card suffice - or is there a special type?

Thanks for the info guys!

Thank you Bill k.
