About the PerfectWave Memory

The PS Audio PerfectWave Memory Transport (PWT) is a state-of-the-art optical disc player engineered for audiophile-grade digital audio playback. It is not a traditional CD transport; instead, it uses a DVD-ROM drive to read both standard CDs and high-resolution audio files (up to 192kHz/24-bit) burned to DVD discs. The PWT employs a unique 'Digital Lens' memory buffer and a multiple-read technique to ensure bit-perfect data extraction from discs, bypassing traditional error correction. Once loaded into memory, the audio data is output via a fixed, high-precision, low-jitter asynchronous clock, making the PWT one of the few true asynchronous transports available. The device also features Ethernet connectivity for metadata and album art retrieval, and supports a variety of digital outputs for flexible integration with high-end DACs.
