PS Audio PMG Signature SACD Transport
If you're like most of us, you still have a cherished library of physical discs. There's something timeless about opening a jewel case or sliding a disc from its sleeveāthe feel, the ritual, the music waiting inside. Even in todayās world of streaming, CDs, SACDs, and data discs often deliver the best sound in a systemāwhen paired with a truly exceptional transport. None are finer or better sounding than the PMG Signature SACD Transport.
This is our statement piece, and it defines state-of-the-art disc playback. From the first notes, youāll hear the staggering leap in performance it brings. Its secret? A fully galvanically isolated output stage that physically and electrically separates the delicate digital audio stream from its noisy environment, dramatically lowering jitter and noise. Hear more than you ever imagined from your discs with the PMG Signature SACD Transportāthe finest weāve built in over four decades.
PS Audio PMG Signature 512 DAC
At the heart of the PMG Signature 512 DAC is a breakthrough in digital audio: our PureStream DSD512 engine. Running at a blazing 22MHz, PureStream upsamples any incoming PCM or DSD signal to a native 8X DSD streamāfar beyond standard formats and completely free from PCM conversion or decimation. This ultra-high-resolution DSD stream is then passed through our SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer, which time-aligns and refines the signal with surgical precision, lowering noise and distortion while preserving every musical nuance. From there, it flows directly into a simple, elegant analog low-pass filterāno complex conversion stages, just pure music.
The 512 doesnāt rely on off-the-shelf DAC chips. This is a custom-designed platform built from the ground up to achieve what no other DAC has: sonic transparency with SINAD better than -100dB and vanishingly low output noise. Multiple ultra-stable reclocking circuits, galvanic isolation between all digital inputs, and full separation between digital and analog sections ensure jitter-free, noise-immune performance.
And yes, the PMG Signature 512 also features our renowned Digital Lens technology, ensuring that incoming digital data is perfectly reorganized and reclocked before ever reaching the PureStream engine. Every effort in its designāfrom input to outputāis focused on preserving imaging, tonal richness, and musical truth. One listen, and youāll know: this is unlike anything youāve heard before. The PMG Signature 512 DAC is not just a componentāitās a revolution in digital audio.

Matthew Sweet – Altered Beast ā Intervention Records Expanded Edition 180G Vinyl LP
The middle entry in Matthew Sweetās holy 90ās Power-Pop Trilogy, Altered Beast is a sprawling, multi-dimensional power-pop trip finally presented at its artistic fullest. Sweet was a songwriting machine in this period, and in doing source research a third analog master reel with 6 extra tracks was discovered. Interventionās 2X 180-Gram LP Expanded Edition is a 21-track Beast that shows a master songwriter at his prolific best.

Fragile was Yesā breakthrough album, propelling them in a matter of weeks from a cult act to an international phenomenon. Not coincidentally, it also marked the point where all of the elements of the music (and more) that would define the groupās success for more than a decade fell into place fully formed, writes AllMusic, giving Fragilea 5-Star rating.

If great art, as many believe, is inherently polarizing, then the Stone Temple Pilotsā Tiny Music⦠Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop easily ranks as the California-based bandās finest album. Simultaneously celebrated and castigated upon release in spring 1996, the groupās third full-length finds vocalist Scott Weiland and company expanding their āgrungeā palette with a smart blend of glam rock, psychedelia, jangle pop, and other related styles. Having benefited from long-view reassessments that shed the biases and meanness of initial criticisms, the double-platinum effort is now largely and rightly seen as a creative masterwork. All the more reason why it deserves reference-grade production.Stone Temple Pilots – Tiny Music⦠Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop – Mofi Hybrid SACD
