I am a newb to good Dacs but I have to agree with Audiotroy that the Ifi Pro iDSD looks amazing for the price https://ifi-audio.com/products/pro-idsd/ I know I will be saving for this for a while to use with my PC Currently running Tidal thru USB to a Questyle QPR2 to my Focal Utopias ,but after hearing upscaled DSD on Audirvana Trial. Hardware that can Upscale to DSD1024 and direct stream Tidal among other features. Sounds very appealing.
Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC
I have borrowed a DirectStream DAC from my dealer very nice of him because he knows that I can't afford it (:
I have to say it is everything I have ever wanted from a streamer/dac. Music just pouring out of my speakers, real sweet music.
Voices just sounds so real, everything is in place, there are details but not in your face. I just love it. This is like music should sound.
I am using it with a PrimaLuna HP integrated. Very nice combo.
The DirectStream DAC junior is discontinuing and I can't get my hands on a used one.
If you have heard the DirectStream DAC and know of another dac sounding as musical -- let me know
