Poppyhome,
I use 2.0.2 firmware, but, alas, it is not currently compatible with the latest models. They're working on an improved firmware for current models. @jason, I have heard the W4S 2 and, while it is a very good DAC, the MKII betters it by a wide margin in its analog presentation, detail and bass depth. I have not heard the Berkley, but someone I trust has compared it to his MKII and he says he felt the Berkley provided as much detail but was more analytical and less "musical." Once you get into the $5k to $8k range, you're really talking more about taste than objective quality, IMHO. Last edited by Vhiner; 11-22-2012 at 08:51 PM. |

I have an opportunity to buy a used PWD MK II with the bridge. Before jumping in, anyone using or have used one of these have more to say about the unit?
I've never actually auditioned one, and it would be between this and something like a new BDA-2, Mc D100, or the W4S DSD model. Pider is Prowling.

Is the bridge included in the new PS DirectStreamDAC or is it still available as an option for the DirectStream?
Does the bridge allow DSD over PCM/Ethernet protocols? |

BTW - he said his chosen cable was the KingRex USB cables followed by the Light Harmonic as a close second ... but I think he was smitten with the KingRex to the point of asking the designer to engineer one for PS Audio. Last edited by beowulf; 05-13-2014 at 01:35 AM. |
