For $6K it's pricey - but I just purchased a Cary preamp for $3K and PSaudio recommends going directly in the amp from the DAC. This puts my net cost at $3K if I go without the Cary pre. A big gamble since I won't be able to hear it first. But if the Sony HAPZ1 is any indication of the sound improvement possible from up sampling to DSD (never mind 10X DSD) along with the reputation of PSAudio - this might not be such a big game after all. Just wish there were some reviews on it.

This is why it reminds us of the old time turntable/analog sound. Since the DS up converts everything to DSD this shouldn't be too shocking. Does it have the option of NOT up converting to DSD?
