PS Audio PerfectWave Transport

Oh my word. Some one obviously has a very small penis. :)

finaly a player that buffers it all to RAM :)

S/PDIF is the Sony Phillips Digital interface (which is what the letters stand for).

The beauty of our system is the digital audio stays in its native format which is I2S - meaning the audio data and the clock data remain separate.

BTW, you are correct. I am not a degreed engineer and have never claimed to be one. I do a lot of engineering but it's all analog.

[vegasfolk]

This guy is still trying to pass himself off as a engineer? OOOO it does not use SPDIF. Does this guy realize most of the music he is playing was recorded using SPDIF? What a clown. Why does the FTC not shut guys like him down?

[dchendr]

Okay children, knock it off and go to your corners. Now. Btw, has anyone compared this thing to the Burmester 061 as far as audio sound clarity?

[sharanelani]

Touche. OK. Two things: first, what I am saying on the video is targeted at people who don't know anywhere near as much as you do. I am trying to keep the concepts as simple as possible.

Secondly, there is a wealth of info you might enjoy reading about jitter in the digital domain for audio products and their sonic effects. Many of these are through the AES society.

[vegasfolk]

The AES? Your the clown that will not submit to any AES testing or papers. Do not bring the AES into this now to try and sugar coat your crap.

[sharanelani]

You crack me up. OK, you're just in an ornery mood. No worries. BTW, what products have you designed to your credit?

[maureenobrien]

Yeah - you got me. I'm just ornery. I've designed ethernet I/O at Intel, high-speed processor subsystems, worked on gigabit ethernet over copper, and so on. OK? I have extensive reliability experience so understand error detection/correction issue in memory (DRAM and SRAM, from alpha particles to gamma particles). I'm not an audio designer, but you're not discussion analog here; these are all digital issues.

[KoolWire]

No your not "ornery" you're an asshole. Never fails, there's always some know-it-all asshole that talks real big over the internet....

[sharanelani]

What makes this asynchronous is that the output clock has no relationship with any of the data. It has a great deal of bearing on a lot of things actually but this isn't a good forum for it.

[maureenobrien]

"Output clock"? What's an "output clock"? How do you think the data gets transported from memory, thru the HDMI cable, to the D/A? Magic? We need clocks to transport digital data; the clock can be encoded into the data or sent alongside it. Read the HDMI 1.3a spec...see TMDS clock channel.

What you said is that since you're ripping the data off the disc and putting it into RAM, there's no relation btwn the optical clock and the data clock. Totally meaningless gibberish.

[maureenobrien]

You're clearly not an electronics engineer, or if you are then you're using technical concepts deceptively. While this gizmo has some neat features, for now, only a serious case of audiophiliosis would lead to its purchase. The marketing gibberish here is pure snake oil.

[maureenobrien]

Jitter is a problem? At audio frequencies with self-clocked signals? Error correction? No problem from "memory? Do you understand DRAM, and even SRAM, soft error issues? Asynchronous clock? The data is clocked off the disc into memory; it's then clocked out of memory - synchronously - and encoded - not "truncated" to serial I/O via an HDMI cable. What makes this "asynchronous" is that it happens at different points in time. It has no bearing on anything.

@maureenobrien

let it go !! go change your tampax instead....

Thanks for posting!

HI Paul, Great video and well done on such an awesome product. I have been following PW since day one, I have Sony Das Cd player with "G" base pickup mechanism + Dacs by Audio research and Sony. I think PW is what the industry and consumers have been craving for, Quality audio in a new and invigerating fashion. My Sony 'G' base player is phenominal but i relish the day the perfect wave is available in the UK.Thanks for video and ingenuity,

Superb.

[QuadTubeChannel]

Nice looking unit. I'd love to try it with something like Enya or Vangelis, I bet it would really shine.

[computeruser54321]

The combo looks really nice.
