PS Audio "AirLens" streamer coming soon?

Two posts since 2014…wow

Please make this three posts after you sort out the AirLens.

Solarboy297 - please report back your feedback. I just about ordered this streamer yesterday to pair with my Denafrips Pontus II so I could run it via i2s. Would like to get some feedback and see some reviews prior to ordering. Keep us posted!

PS Audio announced that they are shipping the Airlens streamer as of yesterday August 15,2023.  Mine will arrive on Friday.  The price is $1999.  Their allowable trade in is $600 making the final price with trade in is $1399 with 30 days to decide on keeping or returning it.

i2S output from a streamer is a huge plus as i have a Denafrips Pontus II. 

Curious also about Mercury Streamer V2 and Holo.

No clock on i2s.

Too bad they didn't include storage or ripping ability.

My one  Innuos Zen 3 is still the cat's pajamas!!

I’ve read the same as everyone else- will be interesting to see how good it stands on its own when mated with non PS Audio gear. There is an offer online offer as a combo deal with a Direct Stream Dac MK2 for $11K Canadian ($8.4K USD). Page says they’re expected to be available late January 2023.

Yes, I followed that thread for a good while.  PS Audio promotes their I2s and galvanic isolation.  Many streamers have galvanic isolation.  I thought that I2s carried a clock, but in this case it doesn’t.  My DAC has a very good USB interface and the manufacturer claims that USB performance will match I2s.  Both use PLL to lock the signal on the DAC side.  So, probably a competitive streamer at $2k.
