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.

OOF. Yeah I installed my MK2 APS transformers without any issues. Luckily I don't see that random PCB sticking out from my pictures of when I opened up my unit.

The internet can be a weird place. I've generally seen negative comments about PS Audio DACs outside of the PS Audio forum so it's a little surprising that you've tripled sales after moving away from the forum. But it is possible that the website helped people feel like the transformers are more of a business and not just a thing where you message some guy and hope to get something back after dropping $600+. 

 @jk_richards Are the APS transformers for MK1 and MK2 wired differently? Ted is saying the MK1 and MK2 are different but it's interesting that they can both use the same Edcor xs4400 transformers.
