PS Audio vs NAD M12

Thanks for the info...The PS Audio does sound better in terms of Tech and Warranty Support.  Wondering if anyone has experience with the sound quality of both?

Thank you very much... I appreciate the direct comparison.  Tough choice for me as the NAD does act as a pre-amp and I like the ability to add modules.  I like the PS Audio DSD with the programmable chip.  It can act as a pre-amp for the DAC portion only.  I am hoping to add a phono down the road, which the NAD does have inputs for.  Overall cheaper than the PS Audio, don't want to upgrade for a while.
Thanks again

You obviously have in-depth tech knowledge of the equipment...much appreciated as well as everyones responses.

I understand that the NAD takes inputs and then converts to digital to accomplish filtering, switching, volume control to eliminate noise.  I assume the PS Audio does the same, but have no real knowledge of that fact.
Do you happen to know or anyone know about the analog outputs of each?  I have watched "ask Paul" video regarding DACs and he indicated one of the most important things to look for is the Analog output stage.

Any insight as to a comparison of the analog outputs would be useful as well.

Thanks in advance 

mmeysarosh thanks again for your response!.... I hadn’t thought of downloading the user manual... next item on my research list.

mbolek... very much looking forward to your direct comparison.  I’m looking at the Ps Audio DSD senior but the DSJ comparison is still an outstanding opportunity.

I want to thank everyone for the advice, tech experience and reviews of both systems!  

I went with the PS Audio DSD with bridge as I found a used/ new other at a great price. Hasn’t been shipped yet and still need speakers.

i ordered a set of Buchardt S400 to start off with.

Thinking I would like a set of Sonus Faber Sonettas or better.... but that’s another thread 

thanks again 

@mbolek. If you’re seriously thinking about the Buchardts ....I would seriously preorder the Buchardt now as the have a 200 Euro off regular price going on.... they can’t meet demand.  They have an in home 30 trial period.  Free round trip shipping.

I ordered the black pair prior to the production problems.  Recently sent an email asking to upgrade to the Oak... they upgraded at no charge due to the late delivery.  I’m supposed to get them mid March... if they don’t get here I’m going to ask for another 200e off since that’s what they are running now (if the special is still on)

I bought the Perfect Wave Direct Steam DAC with the Bridge II DSD Senior for less than the cost of the Junior.  According to their website the DSD is compatible with MQA if you have the Bridge and the latest software version....Snowmast

”Now, full MQA, Tidal (including Masters), Spotify, Qobuz, VTuner, and Roon ready.”

You’re absolutely correct about a preamplifier.... more cost involved.  That was part of my dilemma with the NAD vs PSA. 

I probably will use my Anthem MRX 720 as my preamp for now.  It has a good RC software.

cheers
