About the PerfectWave
The PS Audio PerfectWave DAC is a state-of-the-art digital-to-analog converter featuring a Wolfson WM8741 stereo differential DAC chip, discrete analog output stage, and support for high-resolution audio formats including FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, OGG, and APE up to 192kHz/32-bit on most inputs. It includes a full-color touchscreen for input selection, sample rate and filter adjustments (5 digital filters, 6 sample rates), album art display, and network setup. Designed as a preamp with volume control, it offers balanced XLR and RCA outputs, made in the USA with large transformers and discrete Jung regulators in the analog power supply. Optional PerfectWave Bridge card adds Ethernet streaming. This model has been superseded by newer products like DirectStream, with upgrade paths available, but remains a classic in the PerfectWave series.
