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!

Brownsf-  yep, that trade in and trial makes it almost an offer I can’t refuse. So this is much of a sanity check before making the final decision.  

pursuitofnow- I had not heard of the upgrades, so I’ll google them

carousel- thanks for your thoughts. Perhaps a coin toss between  the two.  I had listened to the M3 and was impressed, but preferred my original mk1 PS DS. Also, I would never use a DAC without a preamp as past listening has taught me.

Thanks to all who commented. I have ordered the mk2, so I am shutting down this thread
