Product Description

— Product Description

Locked inside your CD and SACD collection is a wealth of music you've not yet heard. How do we know that? Because we, like you, know what to expect from our reference discs.

Imagine our surprise and delight as the first notes played on our new, galvanically isolated, PerfectWave SACD Transport. It was love at first listen. The PerfectWave SACD player is an engineering triumph—our finest achievement in musical reproduction and information retrieval from optical media.  Breathe new life into your CD collection played through any DAC. Send the raw DSD layer of SACD into your I2S input DAC so you can hear, for the first time, what's long been unavailable to external DACs in these high-resolution discs. Winner of the 2021 Golden Ear Award from The Absolute Sound.

If you are like most of us, you still have a large library of physical discs. There's something about the tactile feel of opening a jewel case or pulling from a sleeve, the shiny silver disc, and enjoying what's captured on it. Despite today's trend towards streaming, CDs, SACDs, and data discs remain the best sounding media in many a library if a great disc reader is employed. None are finer or better sounding than PS Audio's PerfectWave SACD Transport. PST defines state-of-the-art performance. From the very first notes, you'll understand the sheer magnitude of performance increase brought to the system by PST. The secret to PST's ability to lower noise and jitter while extracting every nuance possible lies in its galvanically isolated output stage which separates both physically and electrically the pure digital audio data from its noisy environment. Hear more than you ever imagined possible on your discs with PST.
