PS Audio DirectStream DAC or Aqua Formula xHD

Any of you have auditioned these 2 DACs can you please tell me the differences in sound signature and is the price difference worth it ?
I'm looking for a very good DAC to use with a Melco music server.
The DAC will be used in a speaker system with Thiel CS 3.7 and also a headphone rig with Hifiman Susvara and Kennerton Odin.

If you buy an Aqua and dislike it, you're stuck with the sound because it's never gonna' change. 

On the other hand, a DirectStream changes based on the firmware you choose to install. Also, the manufacturer, PS Audio, is committed to evolving the product via continuous firmware improvement. I love my DirectStream DAC.
