| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Aolmrd1241: to add more details, with the Directstream, hi-res and CD quality recording sounded pretty much the same, heck even AAC and lossless sounded pretty much the same. Flat and thin.On the DAC2, hi-res sounded "better" than cd quality. The ... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Aolmrd1241: pretty much everything sounded bad on the Directstream at low volume. If you want to hear thin/flat sound, the DS is the goto DAC.The other DACs on the otherhand sounded good with most recordings, except a few. Eg: ceuiMy brief time wi... | |

| Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz Try the Emotiva XMC-1 too and let us know the results. | |
| Crown XLS 1500 Yeah, boutique consumer audio market is full of snake oil sellers *cough* Direcstream *cough* Mass market consumer audio market is not as bad though. I'm also increasingly fond of the pro market, their stuff just works, 100% of the time. No break-... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Alright, I've been listening to the DAC2 for awhile now. This thing destroys the Directstream at 1/3rd the price. For the first time, a hi-res track actually sounded better than the CD version.I also have a hi-res track that sounded worse than the... | |
| Which desktop speakers to buy $800 Try horn/waveguide speakers like the jbl 305. Don't write them off base on the cheap prices ;) | |

| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I'm not sure if Mutec got their USB version out yet, I'm using the MC-3+ Smart Clock with AES in to optical out. $700 off ebay I think. I haven't really compared it with anything else since it works 100% for me already :)There's an interesting opt... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I have not tried firmware before Pike Peak, but after 5 months, Pike Peak sounded VERY wrong....What I did noticed was that if there was any input jitter, it would effect the sound of the Directstream. Pretty funny considering that PA Audio advert... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I just sold my DirectStream so it might be too early for me to start bashing it, but that DAC is my worst purchase ever. The thing doesn't sound bad, the real problem is the DAC sounds incorrect. I guess I was blinded by the high price and the rev... | |
