Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: 6moons PerfectWave Review.

Reinforces my basic opinion of the site -- not enough time spent editing. Sometimes -- perhaps often -- the reviews could stand to have things taken out. Other times -- and this is a good example -- reviews could stand to have more information put in (and less of the manufacturer's info. about "how it works.")

The product sounds like it deserved a better and more thorough treatment . . . and some would disagree with PS Audio's self-serving statement (on its website) that SACD is "dead."

Perhaps the bigger question that should be asked is this: is digital audio, as delivered on a physical product (i.e. a disc) dead? If it is, then the $3000 transport doesn't have much of a future, if people are going to store their digital audio on a big hard drive or have it streaming from the Internet. They can certainly use Exact Audio Copy to copy their CDs, bit-perfect, on to the hard drive.

So, an outboard DAC that runs off of the available computer outputs (USB, firewire) would seem to be the more future-oriented product. The PS Audio DAC and its unreviewed "network bridge" seem more interesting to me, since they have that purpose.
