Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited?

I saw the video and might be interested. The way they isolate the d side from the a side without using optical cable is intriguing and I have a DAC with an I2S input, so the lack of USB won’t be a problem.  I’d like to hear a review or three before I decide to drop $2000 though.

If your DAC doesn't use their I2S protocol it won't do you any good and if it does both the Silent Angel Munich and iFi Neo Stream have an I2S output using the same protocol for less. Plus with the Neo Stream you have an alternative DAC to try out. 

PS audio does nice videos but not really make the best equipment. 

Keep searching. 

Not really ,I owned their top dac ,and inside a rip-off for the money the case is cheap like a $300 Blu-ray player ,I almost cut my hand open ,from the sharp edges 

this too means it rings like a 🔔 no damping inside whatsoever ,on a $5k + piece of equipment and inside was just hollow space .

that’s why I am not to thrilled , if someone takes the cover off and machined  casework like Bricasti ,and well designed with multiple linear power supplies and regulation then I will maybe look deeper into it.

I'm glad to see a reputable American company introduce something like this. Many good loudspeakers and amps are made in USA, but when it comes to streamers (or streaming DACs/preamps), most of  the best products seem to be Asian, European, or Canadian. Streamers and DACs are prone to software/firmware problems. This makes after-sale service/support important. For American customers, I believe this is best provided by an  American company (or by a foreign company with a strong North American presence.).

The AirLens  product itself does not excite me much.  I'd rather have streaming functions integrated with the DAC/preamp in a single box (like PS Audio's old Direct Stream Junior, without any kinks in the ethernet "bridge"). With a dedicated streamer, maybe half of what you'll pay for is the fancy case and connections.  More clutter, more complexity, and more cost, probably with little or no sound improvement compared to putting an ethernet port on the back of a high quality DAC/preamp. But if PS Audio provides a really good app to control it, and if it's Roon-ready with good integration into the rest of your system, then it might be worth considering if all you're missing is a streamer.
