PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport

From what I have read on the PS Audio forums on their website, those that have both seem to indicate the PWT may beat the bridge by a bit. The president of PS Audio disagree's however. The PWT with I2S hdmi connection to the PWD is a great combo....natural sounding and unfatiguing for longer listens..., imo

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 starter. Others may feel different of course.

I don't have the PWT either and I too like the way the PWD/Bridge sounds. I would however like to hear from those who own both since there seems to be quite a few folks who feel the PWT bests the Bridge.

Thanks for your responses and big Friday cheers to you...!

Have a great Easter weekend.

The bridge has other issues,,,growing pains like problems with gapless play for continuous live music for flac files (The usual way to lossless compress wavs on a hard drive). They almost have it figured out. PS Audio provides firmware updates when needed for the bridge, dac and transport loaded via an SD card. The other issue is ripping all those cd's, setting up a NAS array or another computer to store the files and then locating that out of the listening room. You don't want to hear computer fans while listening to quiet passages in music. Some say server based music is the way to go. For me, being old fashioned, I like the feel of cd's and dvd's...hence the PWT was it for me.

Here's a good info source for those considering the PW system. There is alot of information being discussed particularly about bridge.
