| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 Not to trivialize noise measurements, but this sort of does show how there is not a 1:1 of noise and Sound quality. Now that being said there are few reports of some amps this causing issues with, but that is a known factor and reported in the St... | |
| Digital add ons-airlens, matrix spdif, Innuous Phoenix net, Phoenix usb I have PS Audio MKII DAC as well. I would say zenith 3 you have with the add ons you don’t need the matrix any more. Just usb to DAC. The MKII has a great usb input. The Airlens prob won’t yield any improvement. I would stick with what you got. ... | |
| Sopra 2 Amp Recommendation Inhave bothe BHK250 and 300’s on mine. Both are great. Better with 300’s. I got mine for under 7k used. | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC @dcpillai Not sure where you saw its a feature. Ted Smith mentioned that all large transformers hum. That being said there 1 person complaining about the hum. A few others confirmed if they put their ear next to the device they can hear somet... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC I have owned for over a month. Zero hum. I have on Orea. But even before never heard. Is it next to in order to change settings. Nothing. | |
| DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport Keep an eye on usaudiomart. There might be the right seller who will ship for some extra cash. $100 might do it. Plus cost of shipping. Any friends or family here that could ship for you? | |
| DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport I would go for a used MKI Directstream. There are many on market. Later you can trade in for 2400 towards MKII if you want. Plus some credit. it’s class A stock. The forum over there has so many updates that make it so much more too. | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? I have a dual purpose room. I have an Anthem AVM70 with nice anthem multi channel amps for center surrounds rears and 4 ceiling. I have a dedicated PSAudio front end and Focals all the way around. I could easily use HT bypass but what to do with ... | |
| Anthem vs Arcam ASR reviews garbage. I would not care for anything they say. I owned an AVM60 for 4 years. I traded in for Marantz AV7706. About 2800 from local dealer. Before the price went up I think. It had a hum in my system where Anthem did not. Went bac... | |
| Using streaming as a main source ---DSD, FLAC, MQA Streamers and DACS After being out of two channel for a while and just HT I got back into it. I started with Chinese dac that was all in one streamer and tried roon for 30 days. Wow I was hooked. I ripped everything I owned including SACDs (DSD). I upgraded Dac a... | |
| Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me I went there for a visit last spring. I found the owner to be very friendly. I was supposed to meet a friend but I got days mixed up and ended up there w/o an invite during covid. I told them what happened and I am not there to buy. He let me bro... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @ianrmack I too will be getting an Airlens. Going to compare that to Sonore. I have my network isolated with Melco switch on Plixir LPS. Right now on optical. Will be putting on Ethernet for test. Just remember it’s only got I2S output. No usb. | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. My Ears told me something was wrong. Room treatment helped but something was off. Measured and sure enough 2 big humps causing over done bass. Used Roon DSP convolution filter to fix those humps and wow. Keep it simple and room correction is gre... | |
| Experienced only: What have you done with room correction? I have a dual system. I use a Sonora streamer with PSAudio 2 channel with bypass for an anthem home theater. I looked long and hard to see how to do room correction for both. First I ended up with a JL CR-1 so sub could be used for both. But firs... | |
| Software for Room Correction? What you are looking to do is use the Roon DSP with a convolution filter. Roon has a great post on how to do. I had a person come in and do it for $400 but if you change anything you have to redo. I got the UMIK 1 mic and looked at REW which is fr... |
