PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC/Preamp (with remote)

As its name implies, the PerfectWave DAC is one of the world’s finest digital-to-analog converters. But it’s way more than that, so calling it a DAC doesn’t begin to describe its capabilities. It’s the ultimate preamp and playback machine for all sorts of digital music. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better-sounding or more user-friendly way to indulge your passion for music.

The PWD transcends the limitations of traditional digital-to-analog converters by providing uncompromised performance for any media delivery or storage system possible. It no longer matters how the digital audio data is stored or delivered, the PWD produces the same high performance audio, no matter where the digital audio comes from — a networked computer or hard drive, a CD, or the Internet.
