Maybe you should reevaluate your budget? Now that you've actually listened to the PS and loved it, you might think about how you could responsibly afford it. Sometimes we have a pre-determined budget in our heads, which is a good thing, but sometimes we just have to decide whether or not to stretch because our pre-determined budget can't get you where you want to go musically. Only you can make the decision.
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
