A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?

As music lovers and audiophiles, it is important that we trumpet companies like PS Audio and Paul McGowan in particular for its/his commitment to excellence in design and manufacture of audio gear.  

As we have read here in so many different threads, commitment to excellence of product and customer service/satisfaction is not always the way of all audio entities.  In an endeavor where much equipment is quite expensive, it is important to know that the companies with whom you are prepared to part with thousands of dollars, have your back and consider you a part of the family.  That may sound like hyperbole but after watching months of Paul's daily videos where he opines about audio subjects and his relationship with his customers, it is clear that PS Audio is a place you can feel secure investing in.

I own the DS and DMP and can't say enough about the build and sound quality of said units...just plain wonderful... I do not believe hype is a bad word in talking about the performance parameters of the digital combo I mention. 

I think part of the reason that some may believe that hype is used in the company of PS Audio product could well be that the resale value is not very good compared to other high end manufacturers and therefore people tend to think that it can't possibly compete with more expensive equipment..generally speaking. 

PS Audio seems to come across as the red-headed step child in the high-end market. Why,I don't know for sure, but hearing is believing.    

I have 2 PS audio "power ports" (is that what they're called?) AC outlets, a discontinued Humbuster III, and a real thick older power cable for a sub. I now feel I should send them to Boulder to be rebuilt…something that is obviously a good use of my time.

What’s goin’ on in your world? Frankly, you should be feeling pretty empowered right now as House Stark is thriving and "Winter is Here".❄️❄️❄️

Thanks for all the replies guys, it is not my intention in any way to put the company down, I am very interested in their product line, got a nice quote on their top dac, the signature preamplifier and the 250 amp to use with my Graham Audio LS 5/9.
how would you compare PS Audio to companies like Luxman and Accuphase and how would you say the sound signature would compare or be different to them ?
Or just the sound signature in general, I like detail, but hate thin or overly detailed sound, especially in the higher midrange and treble.
One thing that worries me a bit is the list price and the actual price, it seams that the seller can give a big discount on the product, which feels a bit disconcerting, I don’t mind a good discount, but am a bit worried about what the real prices are, and maybe it shows in the resale value?...
