Went and heard the PSAudio PerfectWave Transport and PerfectWave DAC today at Audio High in Mountain View today.

The Transport and DAC were hooked straight up to Chord SPM6000 amps, I believe. The speakers were KEF REFERENCE 207/2. No pre-amp.

If you don't know about concept behind the PerfectWave Transport I'll give you a very brief description. Basically, the transport reads the data off the CD and put in into RAM and spits it out to the DAC. It also does all this with an asymmetrical clock which is supposed to eliminate all jitter. Digital jitter was thus described as data buffer back ups and over flows due to fluctuating clock issues between the clock that spins the CD and another clock that deals with the digital data off the CD. Pretty advanced stuff that sounds just like a normal hi-fi CD player to me.

What I did find to be pretty impressive was the Reference HRx discs. Holly snap crackle and pop this is GREAT sounding. The detail and depth difference between a CD and the HRx discs is over whelming. I want HRx technology! Though I want it for other stuff then classical music.

Anyways I think PSAudio has some nice new stuff, you should check it out if you are in the market for digital transport and DAC.

And not related to the PerfectWave stuff but PS Audio related,I heard about the Power Plant which sounded pretty smart.
