Offered is „PS Audio PerfectWave AC-12 (Schuko) 2m“ by PS Audio as second-hand device from the category „Power Cords“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3295959930 ends on 19.12.2026 at 09:03 o'clock.
Against the obvious alternative—a modern budget DAC—the PS Audio PerfectWave at €200 is a strong bargain. That is dramatically below the €1,270 25th-percentile comparable, with recent asking prices centering on €1,527 and reaching €2,067 at the 75th percentile. Even allowing for its age, this is firmly “buy if working” territory rather than merely fair value.
The PerfectWave remains appealing for its unusually capable digital architecture, plentiful inputs, selectable filters, reclocking Digital Lens, and both balanced and unbalanced outputs. It can also serve as a digital preamp, making €200 especially attractive in a revealing two-channel system. Confirm the exact version, test every input and output, and check that the display, remote, and any included Bridge module behave properly; but at this price, those checks are sensible due diligence, not reasons to pass.
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.
