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.

Hi Jeff, one of the reasons I'm considering your transformer upgrade for the MKI has to do with connecting the DAC directly to my Pass amp. I seem to recall you saying that your transformer upgrade increases the output voltage, which helps when you connect the DAC directly to a power amp. I haven't noticed anyone talking about this lately so can you please comment on this? 

Thanks Jeff. My takeaway from your response is that you recommend using a pre-amp. I'm good with that.
