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

Haven't heard either but the DirectStream has gotten a ton of positive reviews and is available with a 30 or 60 day return policy depending on where you buy it. May be worth trying one out to see how it sounds in your system.

I went with a DS, and couldn't be happier. It's an amazing DAC. Many people would agree, but certainly not all would.

I've heard a lot of good about Empirical Audio's Overdrive SE.

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.
