Commercial PS Audio PW SACD Transport Up for sale is our floor model (and current model) PS Audio PerfectWave SACD/CD Transport. Unit presents in excellent condition - just the usual swirly marks on the top plate from cleaning (see pics). Supplied with full box and accessories. Condition: Excellent Payment Method: EFT, Direct Debit, Credit Card, Cash Region/State: (WA) Western Australia/Australia By Douglas HiFi 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $7,600 Date: June 24, 2025Jun 24
A$7,600 is well above the recent used market for this model, so it reads as ambitious rather than sharp. Against your database anchor, it’s far over the 75th percentile of A$3,313 and more than triple the median A$2,428, which is a big premium for an “excellent” used listing.
That said, this is a respected digital front-end in a serious system: it’s known for a polished, spacious presentation, strong timing, and a very revealing, low-noise sound that still has enough weight to stay musical. If it’s complete with original packaging, remote, and a clean service history, it may suit a buyer who specifically wants this voicing and trusts the condition, but at this price I’d want proof that it’s exceptional enough to justify the gap.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
PS Audio, a pioneering American hi-fi brand, traces its roots to 1973 when co-founder Paul McGowan launched the company in California alongside Stan Warren. Emerging from the analog golden age, it debuted with a standalone phono preamplifier, reflecting McGowan's early passion for vinyl playback honed through radio station connections and encounters with audio enthusiasts. The brand quickly evolved, embracing digital audio in the 1980s by releasing one of the first high-end CD players, the PS Audio CD-1, soon after Philips and Sony introduced the format.
Today, PS Audio specializes in premium electronics, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and integrated amplifiers, with a hallmark focus on power conditioning via innovative AC regenerators known as Power Plants. These devices, born from Stan Warren's mid-1980s discovery that oversized transformers enhance audio performance, remain a cornerstone. The lineup also encompasses digital lenses for refining streaming and disc playback, alongside select analog components, though it eschews speakers, headphones, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, PS Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its bold engineering and unwavering pursuit of musical purity. Celebrating 50 years in 2023, it occupies a niche as an innovator rather than a mass-market player, appealing to buyers who prioritize transformative power delivery and digital refinement in sophisticated systems.
