PS Audio Directstream Dac so many for sale?


I have one and have been enjoying it for over a year now. I upgraded from the Perfectwave Dac Mk2 and am happy with it but I wonder why there are so many for sale? Obviously there are better Dacs out there but for $3500 the DSD is a nice Dac. I’m not yet itchy to upgrade the DSD as it is a nice piece. It goes well with my Perfectwave transport and Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer.

If you haven’t already you might want to consider doing the transformer upgrade as that might make you even more satisfied with the current DS Sr. Even though mine has been replaced in the main system by the Aqua La Voce S3 and then the May KTE I still ordered the new transformers from Edcor and will have the mod done just to see if the improvement is as much as what’s been reported. With the recent parts shortages and price increases the Mk. II will most certainly be priced higher than Paul’s original guesstimate but no where near the also increased price of Ted’s two box signature DAC.

Also if your looking at the for sale ads through HiFiShark many of those are duplicates or triplicates depending on how many different places the seller has it posted for sale.
