Just bought their M700's and a Stellar Gain DAC on their sale and it arrived two weeks ago. I'm using Zu Dirty Weekend's and was hoping to get a "rocking" system but I have to say I do not have that right out of the box. Loud and clear, yes but able to feel some punch...Not really.
I'm relatively new to all this but regularly follow here and other sites. I would not say I have discerning taste but appreciate this level of "clarity" with vocals and instrumentals.
I feel like I am lacking a lot of bass/punch/hit though for what I have. I also have a NAD M10 which was powering the Zu's and felt mediocre about that as well for the same reason of lack of bass and fullness.
So Im on to try and figure out if I need a different speaker, sub, room treatments and so on.
I chose PSA though bc they are out of Boulder and I too think Paul is a pretty straight guy with a good company, based on his videos. I WANT to love both of these companies but I can't say I love what I have so far. Granted it is each companies entry level gear but for around $5k of gear, I feel like I can do better and get much more of a wow factor. Feel free to DM me with any quick advice for myself, Im happy to listen.
Oh, I have to say I was really disappointed with the remote included with the PSA DAC. Just flimsy plastic. I would gladly have paid more for a solid piece of aluminum or better plastic if they offered it.
