Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2

Thanks for your input. Was entertaining the thought of upgrading to the MK2 and having it modded with the nickel transformers and caps. Seems like it's not a huge difference though, plus after reading through posts on PS Audio's forum, many are continuing to have issues. Perhaps down the road, if and when PS Audio irons out the many glitches, I'll reevaluate 

The MK2 doesn’t need VOCM caps. 

I do miss Ted’s input on the PS Audio site. Clearly, it seems to me, a major philosophical change. I don’t like it; however, it’s their site and reputation.

Your not alone.  They were the good days when Ted chimed in with his knowledge and suggestions on upgrades etc... 

Has there been any kind of official statement explaining Ted's absence?
