| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC Just got my MKII up and running a few days ago. It’s plugged into a a Niagara 7000 and I am am hearing a slight hum with my ear about 1” from the DAC, however it’s dead silent though the speakers. I’ll have to try plugging in straight to the wal... | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound Looking forward to your findings. | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC I have a MKII on order. PS Audio has been fantastic about repairs, etc. One of my monoblocks ran warmer than the other, and since they were such early units, they paid for shipping both ways for both units to check them both out and make any pro... | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound Can you explain further how a 6 amp protection circuit can protect a part of the equipment rated for only 3 amps? Also I might suggest making some comparison recordings made with the Fuse box and without. Positive Feedback did an article incl... | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound I just got an email from a dealer selling these. I have a question about if it will work with equipment that has more than one fuse. Would love to read about someone trying this. | |
| Has anyone heard the PS Direct stream mk2? @andynotadam it would be interesting to hear your thoughts eliminating the iso regen. I’m going USB for the first time ever, but since my Mac Pro is in another room, I need about 40 feet of cable, bought an optical usb cable for the run. | |
| Reference Recordings "WAV" files.... I have been converting my flac files to WAV for some albums, enjoy the better sound. Will be interesting to hear if there is still a benefit when my diRectstream MKII arrives later this month, fed via USB rather than the the EtherRegen I used wi... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? I recently had an experience finding an LP that was misplaced for a year or two; Jimmy Smith’s Midnight special. Playing it was a real revelation. I had never heard it sound so good, with so much detail and texture (I had new strain gauge styli bu... | |
| Really expensive systems that sounded great? Seeing @ghdprentice called a fool - Now I remember why I stopped posting here for many months. But since trolls need feeding, else they wither and die, I will state that not all drivers are off the shelf and cost a few hundred dollars. While the ... | |
| Has anyone heard the PS Direct stream mk2? I’m not a fan of oversampling and upsampling. I understand it upsamples everything to 512 DSD. You may love it. @lordmelton I agree with you in that with previous DACS and the RME UFX professional AD/DA I use in my video/audio post production w... | |
| Has anyone heard the PS Direct stream mk2? Looks like there is less than one hour left to do the trade in. Hurry! lol- My MKII will be here in a couple of weeks, but I don’t have a MKI on hand to compare. I’ll just have to go from memory. My MKI was not modded. I used the Bridge II card w... | |
| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k I have another suggestion for penny pinchers, and no, it’s not the troll’s $150 Dac! It seems someone has developed a new high nickel content transformer already for the PS Audio Directstream MKII. The Dac in its stock form has already been repor... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Did you read the recent TAS review of the ps audio? I haven’t heard them, but they are the one reasonably priced speaker right now that could tempt me from my TAD CR1’s (with subs and stat supertweeters) With the free in home trial it seems like... | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? @evank this is unfortunate to hear about. I just suggested a friend look into this amp to hook up to his Sprout 2 to give more power and have better sound. He’s looking into the latest Magnapans (around $1k- I forget which model) I’m really int... | |
| NY audio show 2022 This was the first nyc audio show I have skipped in a long time. The exhibitor list seemed small, unfortunately. I hope we get some larger shows here in the future. I ended up taking my GF to see Kinky Boots that night instead. I’ll have to lo... |
