How reliable is PS audio equipment?


I know PS audio equipment gets wonderful reviews, however, how reliable are they?

I hear on other sites that owners constantly complain about sending their equipment back for repairs.

Also, I recently heard from PS audio that their BHK preamp is only good for 20 years due to the design.

Anyone have any opinion on this?

I inherited a DLIII digital link dac about 8 years ago. The owner told me he got it in 2006. So coming up on 20yrs. It's worked fine for me.No problems.

I had a power plant premiere after 12 years it started have smoke come out of it, so glad I was in the room when it happened or could have started a fire.   Unfortunately PS audio said it was too old to fix, offered me a discount for a replacement.  Meanwhile I have a Panamax surge protector that is even older, still works fine. 

I have a PS Audio Directstream DAC, version 1 that I am still happy with , I think this DAC will probably be the next upgrade to my system 

I have had a BHK preamplifier and a BHK 250 power amplifier for probably six or seven years now. Zero problems! I turn 68 years old in August and I will not be surprised if they outlast me.
