PS Audio Perfectwave Compared to High End Players

PS Audio claims superior sound on CDs in consequence of new technology. Meridian makes a similar claim for their 808.2 CDP. Other high end manufacturers extoll their own technology. How, sonically, does the PS Audio Perfectwave transport and dac compare to Meridian, dCs, and other high end products in CD reproduction?

It seems that Harley made a similar claim recently about the Berkeley Audio DAC. ("It is my outboard converter of choice for both CD and high-resolution sources—regardless of price.") It would be interesting to read some comparisons of the DAC in the PS Audio versus Berkeley, since these are at least a little closer in price (than the Meridian or dCS) and both advertise cutting-edge technology.

Macdadtexas: That's interesting you found the Bryston and Berkeley similar overall. Could you elaborate a bit more on how the Bryston sounded "warmer"? There aren't many postings that compare these two units specifically.
