Has anyone heard the PS Direct stream mk2?
I've been burning it in over the past month and it continues to get better. While I haven't tried every $8k DAC out there, I'm not afraid to say that it definitely competes with DACs like TT2/mscaler stack and Wavedream based on my system. Obvious... 
Has anyone heard the PS Direct stream mk2?
Yep, I have one and am currently enjoying it a lot. I think with the current trade in value, it makes a lot of sense for someone who likes the mk1. If you want to try something entirely different though, there are plenty of other ways to spend you... 
Changes in my life, new system, need new speakers
@justinrphillips I'm in the same boat as you in terms of finding something better than what I have but as speakers are more obscure or get older, it's hard to find comparisons with what is currently available.  For example, I went to go a local a... 
Passive speakers for desktop
I have some iso-acoustic stands that prop my current speakers off the desk already. I'd probably use those again. I'm currently considering the voxativ hagen monitors. Not a lot of talk about them in particular but I believe the drivers are well ...

@barts Yes, the speakers will be next to a computer monitor. My desk is in a 15x15' room in one of the corners currently. I could sit further away but 99% of the time I'll be sitting at the desk using the computer.

If there's a $1000 headphone that will better most speakers, cost no object, I'd love to hear it. TBF, the number of headphones I've heard in the past two years is 10x more than speakers.

Yep, this is a desktop setup. My desk is 74x42". My setup is exactly as I listed it. I'm not really sure why it's a joke to you but that's where I have the most freedom to spend money on audio. Unfortunately I don't have any extra rooms to turn in... 
Small Footprint SS Power Amps
The AVA DVA M225's are great small power amps to consider. I changed to those after the S800 and could not sell the S800 any faster. The M225's sound great, have 20w in class A bias, cool to the touch, and sounds incredibly natural. I'm not sure w...
