Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2

I would like to continue discussing all the mods we have created for these two DAC's as it seems PS Audio is no longer allowing discussions about them on their forum.

For reference here is a link to the closed discussion.

I'm not sure you have received the message I sent. I am interested, not sure any other method to reach you. Mike D.

By installing a heat spreading material between these heat sinks distributes the heat more evenly. I have used M.2 heat spreading material. Just gently spread the heat sinks slightly apart and slide the heat sink pad (for a M.2) it between the heat sinks. I held the heat sinks together with a U shaped metal spring wire I made up.
