PS auido Direct stream Dac


Hi I am looking to buy a Dac, now i have Cambridge Audio 851N network player.I am looking at the PS audio Direct Stream Dac with the Bridge 11 and the Holo  Audio May Dac KTE, I have a cd player ,but not many cds so most of the time it would used to stream Qobuz ,I also have a nice vinyl set up which i use about 1/2 the time. My ? does anyone have heard both of these dacs ,if so which sounds most like vinyl, I am 64  so I am trying to decide if these are worth the $ or should i just stick with the CA 851N ,any opinions will help .Thanks Lloyd

PS Audio will be closing out production of the DS DAC this year and will be replacing it with its successor. No specs yet available TMK on the successor DAC. But the nice thing about the DS DAC is that you can download all the FPGA software releases and try them all. It’s like having several different DACs with one physical unit. As for the Holo May it is universally raved about by the reviewers and is supposed to be a hellavu DAC for the money. I have not heard it though. I think I read that one reviewer either for Stereophile or TAS uses it as their reference DAC. Both are excellent choices.
