It is very good that PS Audio when to the direction they went but I think those designs need to mature and the requirements for the transports like this need to be refined. I think is a year it will be more transports like this and the competition will bread better results. I just wish digital devises had a reasonable level of industry criticism, but they do not.
I personaly very much question the entirety of Paul McGowan clamming that his new transport quality of CD reading “will beat these machines easily” (CEC TL-0 MK2, Spectral SDR-2000 or Forsell Air MK2). I think he just does not know what he is dealing with sonically. I never own any PS Audio transports but I had PS Audio regenerator and I had Paul McGowan assurances that his PowerPlant does not ruin bass. If PS Audio new transport produce bass that PowerPlant cannot ruin then the PS Audio new transport and Mr. McGowan personal reference points has a lot of room for improvement. I generally have a lot of suspicion when I hear claims that some new 16-bit CD transport can beat TL-0, particularly in bass. Perhaps Paul McGowan experienced something that I do not know in this area but I am not convinced.
Anyhow, Paul does push the things in the right direction. I do not the result but the noise the direction created is stimulating. BTW, it would be very interesting to know HOW properly PS Audio implemented the USP section of their new DAC.
