Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?

@sfseay

I own a Directstream DAC and don’t agree at all with the 750 hour burn in.  It sounds great out of the box and you may notice small changes for the first hundred hours or so, but 750 hours...this is excessive and not needed.

Beauty of firmware is avoid constant changing hardware.  

Funny @audiotroy description of firmware .  CLUELESS!!!!!

Nothing to do with Direct Stream specifically ... just lack overall understanding of firmware.

I agree that multiple firmware updates that change the sound suggest that it was released a bit too early (a work in progress). I would hope it is now stabilized.

By this logic, should never release iPhone, Linux, Windows ... because there're constant bug fix updates.  With hardware implementation,  V2 upgrade.   Nothing is bug free!!!

Joecasey in many techology platforms an older 3-5 year cell phone can be updated to run the latest Os however usually the experience isnt fantastic as people want a faster cpu more memory and greater battery life hence the desire to explore the updates that only really occur with new and more advanced hardware

Agree but extends life of a product. What happens when firmware implemented in hardware has bugs?

Audiophile market is too small to attract money, best and brightest. If you want latest technology, checkout big market products such as TVs. They all have ethernet connection for updates. Nobody builds strictly in hardware. OLD technology!
