Martin-anderson , Buy a Bluesound Node2 and a great dac like Benchmark 3 DAC for about $2,000.00 which is a Stereophile Class A/ A+ recommended product and as good a DAC as the PS Audio. There are other good standalone streamers, the software and app on the Bluesound is great and never gives you any squabbles.
Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC
I have borrowed a DirectStream DAC from my dealer very nice of him because he knows that I can't afford it (:
I have to say it is everything I have ever wanted from a streamer/dac. Music just pouring out of my speakers, real sweet music.
Voices just sounds so real, everything is in place, there are details but not in your face. I just love it. This is like music should sound.
I am using it with a PrimaLuna HP integrated. Very nice combo.
The DirectStream DAC junior is discontinuing and I can't get my hands on a used one.
If you have heard the DirectStream DAC and know of another dac sounding as musical -- let me know
