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 curious about the heat issue.  I know having the external power supply will reduce the heat issue but how do we obtain the parts to use the external power supply?   Thanks!

Hey Jeff I thought the heat sinks with the mod installed would get hot?  Is there a way to correct this?  Or is it not something to worry about?  

are we able to purchase the op amp upgrade parts and instructions when available?

Hey Jeff - MY DS1 has a Bridge v1 that I don't use.  Is it best to remove it or is it fine just sitting there unused?
