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.

Listen and decide for yourself. They have a money back guarantee. It has a mediocre usb input card, so keep that in mind if that is your Input of choice. I didn't try it with their spinner, which is probably your best bet.

Read my thread on absolute top tier dacs and take it for what it is. It's a great DAC, but I think there is better out there in that range. Especially pre-owned. Some owners are enthusiastic, others took advantage of their money back offer.
Ozzy. I upgraded to the most current firmware of the time I had it. And I asked them for an extension on the trial period to fully burn it in (they were very nice about saying yes). So my unit had about 750 hours on it by the time I was done.

They make nice stuff, no doubt. I heard their new amp with DAC and Neat speakers at the Montreal show and it sounded nice. It was not in the same class as the other DAC's I auditioned. Maybe the new firmware makes a big difference; that's a nice feature - on the fly upgrades.

If it gets your toes tapping and your mouth smiling, that's what counts.
