Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited?

Many here are much more well versed in good streamers than me. Interested in reactions to this new entry.

In other videos Paul makes clear that they took the internal I2s bus and created their own standard to externalize I2s. He is their prime salesperson. He sold me on the value of I2s.

It has a quiet internal switching supply and will be Roon ready. Probably out in 2-3 months for around $2K. Their new DAC will be released prior to releasing the AirLens.

The one warning flag is the "quiet switching power supply". I don’t know how this compares to a properly designed linear supply. I added the iFi $299 switching power supply to my Zen Stream and noted a big improvement in presentation. Their new 30K speakers are off to a good start and their soon to be released DAC is looking promising. So, like many companies, they are worth a look, but not a blind buy.
