| Build a Faraday cage around your equipment. Practical steps I take to reduce EMI and RFI. I place a shielding Faraday fabric under each piece of audio gear. I also place Shakti Stones on top of my digital gear. Got rid of all fluorescent and LED bulbs in the house, and replaced them wit... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 Will the whole DAC need to be sent in, in order to have this mod installed? | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 That’s great to hear Jeff, but now I’m wishing I held off a little longer before sending my DAC off to get modded, so I could’ve had you do this latest upgrade as well. Hopefully I can find someone locally in the Denver area to perform this mod. | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 The reason I opted to send my DAC to JK Richards to have the nickel transformers and VOCM mod installed, other than I wan't comfortable doing it myself, is not because of some great sales pitch, it's because of all the great feedback from others w... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 This DAC upgrade is insanely good. I initially let it burn-in non-stop via the USB stick on the PST, for 200 hrs, but the sound has continued to improve under normal use. The soundstage is rock solid with vocals and instruments clearly defined a... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 I haven't heard the DSD MKII, but it's been mentioned by those who have, that the modded DSD MKI sounds better.

| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 Can't give you a break down of the percentages of each mod, as I had Jeff install both mods for me. But I would estimate the percentage of both mods combined is easily a 50% improvement, but in terms of musical involvement and enjoyment, there's a... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 What's up with the disappearing post's here? | |
| direct stream 2-Stereophile review I opted to have my DSD MKI upgraded by JK Richards with his custom designed nickel transformers along with the VOCM caps. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The DAC is in an entirely different League now, so much more refined and musical. Hig... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 I'm curious what properties nickel has that gives it an advantage over iron transformers? I still can't believe how much better the PS Audio DSD MKI sounds after replacing the off the shelf transformers with nickel transformers and upgrading the c... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 Been letting my upgraded DAC continue to break in when not listening via the USB stick on the PST. Listening this morning and the sound has continued to improve. Soundstage has expanded and image specificity has become more pinpoint and focused. O... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 I forgot about the shorting plugs, was going to purchase some to be shipped back with my DAC. Can anyone comment on the improvements they bring to the DAC? | |
| JK Richards PS Audio DSD MKI transformer upgrade Placed the newly upgraded PS Audio DSD MKI DAC into my system at around 6 pm yesterday evening after the system had been unplugged for two weeks and was pleasantly surprised how good the music flowing from it sounded. Normally my system remains tu... | |
