Reviewer Russell Lichter has written what I believe is perhaps the most detailed review yet of these two fine pieces. And now, with the the free MKII firmware upgrade, the PWD sounds even better. The PerfectWave DAC and Transport, better known as the PWD and PWT, have been consistently making great music in people’s homes since 2009 as I mentioned before. Go here to read about the upgrade process and see if it’s something you might want to do to your PWD. While no firmware upgrade goes 100% smoothly, this one seems pretty good. There’s definitely a contingent of Audiophiles that believe 243 sounds thinner and brighter than the older firmware, but the majority of folks I’ve spoken with agree with our evaluation of better.The upgrade is free and easy to do if you wish.

Recently we announced the latest upgrade, 2.4.3, which I think is a major improvement. I haven’t had a chance to make any real recordings yet but I did test the USB connection to my Mac with Audacity and everything works beautifully.“ I have never had a phono stage that gives bass performance on the level of CD’s while maintaining the smooth and detailed midrange and high frequency performance of high end analog.
