@meiatflask I was one of the "early adopters" of the MK1 DAC, enjoyed that very much. When PS Audio offered that great trade in on the MK2, I "took the plunge" and immediately out of the box enjoyed more detail, better soundstage and better "tonality" (especially with acoustic instruments). It only took a few days before I boxed up the MK1 and headed to the UPS Store! I'm sure you'll enjoy the upgrade!
PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2 DAC - How good is it vs Mk1? Weiss, Bricasti?
I have the original PS Audio Direct Stream DAC, and had been considering upgrading, as it is the oldest item in my system, and I am getting the itch to upgrade. I had been looking into the Weiss 501 or the Bricasti M1, used. But have ready several positive things about the PS Audio Mk2.
I am wondering if anyone has really compared the original to the MK2? Or to the Weiss or Bricasti?
thanks!
