The PS Audio is literally one of the worst DACs I’ve ever heard. I admit, I’m spoiled by DCS Vivaldi, Rossini, Barton, but even the modest Ayre Codex is far better in every way (except no streaming). I literally can’t imagine a taste preference which would make the PS Audio a reasonable choice. I can only imagine purchasers have never heard an even moderately good DAC (out in rural areas?).
Upgrade from Bluesound Node
I currently have a Bluesound Node used as a streamer And a Denafrips Ares II DAC. I stream music from from Amazon.
My system is Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution and a Vitus MI100 integrated amp.
I was thinking upgrading the front end of my system since I listen only to streaming music.
I was considering a PS Audio PerfectWave Direct Stream Jr DAC with a Bridge II streamer. Do you think it is a worthy upgrade? I’m open to suggestions. The simpler the setup the better. I’m also thinking in getting something used, if it’s worth it.
My room is about 13x17 ft.
thank you
