I love my PS Audio Direct Stream with Red Cloud :)
Nitewulf, it's not a delta sigma DAC.It uses an FPGA chip whose logic is determined by software. I understand it to be like a blank slate. Ted Smith writes the code. And there are periodic upgrades. It just keeps getting better and better. It soun... 
Metrum Hex vs. Pavane or Menuet?
No, but suggest you look at the PS Audio DirectStream. It's stunning since the Huron software release.  
Tannoy eyris 3 or focal cobalt 816s.. whats good ?
My speakers are Tannoy 215 DMT II which are the poor man's Westminster Royal. I have them on custom stands from Sound Anchor. The toe-in is such that the tweeters cross just behind me at the listening position. That's what Peter Lanzilotta recomme... 
PS Audio NEW Huron Firware upgrade. 😩😫😩
I love the Huron sound in my DS. Now I have a top tier DAC that gives immense satisfaction.

Harman is never any help :( 
Does anyone have an opinion about the new P S Audio Bridge 2 ?

Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

Help Tannoy XT6F with Primaluna

Linear power supply for Arcam irdac
I need a linear PSU 12V 8A. These values are not easy to find. 
Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review

Mulveling, please share your impressions as Yggy's evolves during/after break in. I'm particularly interested in its air and sound staging. 
Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review
Grannyring, it's horses for courses. My system isn't bright and I want an R2R ladder DAC, either the Yggy or a design that uses four BB PCM1704-K chips. But I see why others might not like these choices.
