I had the PWT for an extended test and compared it thoroughly to a Forsell Air Reference Mark II transport. I have described my evaluation in another thread here a few weeks ago. The PWT as a transport as compared to the Forsell and both run into high-end dacs (Audio Synthesis and Meridian G68, NOT the PWD) cannot convince me. It does not create a realistic sound signature of acoustic instruments, is less detailed and overall less musical. I have returned it to the manufacturer and will continue with the Forsell 'dinosaur' to enjoy Redbook CD playback.
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?
