Selling this ps audio perfectwave dac in excellent condition with no scratches,Remote included and touch screen anyway, and manuals but no original box, in perfect working condition, moving interstate for quick sale.
The PerfectWave Digital was a serious PS Audio DAC in its day, and A$1,800 is a strong deal against the supplied market: below the A$1,639–A$2,621 middle 50% only narrowly? Actually, it sits above the 25th percentile but well below the A$2,326 median, making it clearly attractive rather than merely average.
Its appeal is substantial connectivity, high-resolution PCM/DSD support, and a presentation many owners value for clarity without excessive hardness. At this money, it is a worthwhile way into genuinely high-end digital, especially if the unit is fully functional and includes its remote and usable digital inputs. Since the listing says only “unknown” for condition, confirm display, inputs, outputs, firmware, and any noise or intermittent faults before buying; otherwise, this looks like a notably good opportunity.
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.
