PSAudio Direct Stream or Bryston BDA/BDP2?


Hi All,

I've had five foot surgeries and may, due to mobility issues, have to switch to digital audio for my home. I love my system, but I have almost know knowledge of DACs or other such matters. From what I can tell, my budget would allow me to go either PSAudio Direct Stream or the pair of Bryston units. Nobody I can find sells both, so I can't ask a dealer, hence I turn to you folks. Can people please help me figure out which of the two options I've mentioned is better? Or, is there some other gear I should consider?

Thanks in advance,

Russ

I have a PS Audio DS AND I concur with Rhanson739. In addition, I'm purchasing Bryston BDP-2. I should received the BDP-2 in three weeks.
Nglazer,

I ordered a BDP-2. Have you compared the BDP to a transport going through the DSD? If so, what are your thoughts.
Neal,
Thanks for the information. Hopefully I will receive my BDP next week.
Nglazer,
I will receive it tomorrow, unfortunately I won't be able to listen to it. I bought a new amp and it wont be here until Friday. I will share my thoughts after a few days.
Nglazer,

I really love the convenience of the BDP2. I have it connected to a Bricasti M1 DAC and it sounds outstanding. I can't honestly say how it compares to other transports/digital players, but I love it.
