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 stream—far 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 filter—no complex conversion stages, just pure music.
The 512 doesn’t 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 design—from input to output—is focused on preserving imaging, tonal richness, and musical truth. One listen, and you’ll know: this is unlike anything you’ve heard before. The PMG Signature 512 DAC is not just a component—it’s a revolution in digital audio.

Matthew Sweet – Altered Beast – Intervention Records Expanded Edition 180G Vinyl LP
The middle entry in Matthew Sweet’s holy 90’s 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. Intervention’s 2X 180-Gram LP Expanded Edition is a 21-track Beast that shows a master songwriter at his prolific best.

Fragile was Yes’ 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 group’s success for more than a decade fell into place fully formed, writes AllMusic, giving Fragilea 5-Star rating.
