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

The answer is the Denafrips Terminator DAC. Many reviews and even a few comparisons to the DS DAC out there. 

Denafrips received some bad reviews IIRC.
No, you are not recalling correctly, jburidan. Certainly not for the Terminator. Just search around for all the reviews, comparisons and awards. 
Sorry all, I couldn’t let this wrong recall sit there since it’s right at the top of the thread.
So back to the subject at hand...
