Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?


I'm counting right now 19 (nineteen) PS Audio DSD DACs for sale (new and used). Strange. Some second owners also selling... The reviews are unanimously stellar.

I wonder why.

Why are there that many for sale? Because PS Audio sold 10-100X the amount of DACs as the other players.
One thing to note about the DirectStream is that it's very sensitive to USB input quality, which is odd for such a expensive DAC... On Windows, you pretty much have to use jplay 6 and then it will sound like the reviewer's rating, it's amazing.

Without jplay it actually sounds odd.
Also, the DS really need a data only USB cable or a USB card that can cut off the power.
