New DAC, what should I look for?
Why don't you just have your MK1 upgraded to the Limited Edition Signature Series PLUS.  It's a large improvement to the unit you have currently.  It's going to be hard to beat by any current DAC costing up to $15000.  We did tons of listing sessi... 
Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2
It would be hard to believe that the new DAC could sound better than modded MK2 or Mk1 limited edition. With the latest Blue Sky and our MK2 mod it is an awesome sounding DAC. New firmware is not needed.  The new DAC will also not be offering any ... 
PS Audio Directstream MK2
In the end the MK2 sounds much better with the mods we do.  Almost as good as our Limited Edition MK1.  We have both so we can have customers listen for themself and also bring in their favorite DAC for comparison. Most all couldn't believe that ...

@brbrock  Yes we also modify the MK2.  New custom nickel transformers, Pure copper IEC inlet with silver wiring. This mod does not effect the firmware updates. Sound amazing with lots of detail.  
PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2 DAC - How good is it vs Mk1? Weiss, Bricasti?
We have lived with both the LE Signature Series PLUS MK1 and a MK2 with APS R2 audio transformers and a pure copper inlet for almost a year now. The sound very close. We like them both. The stock MK2 we did not think compared well with the LE SS ...

We have received a lot of interest in making the bridge 2 card sound good in these MK1 DAC's.  We have been working on it for a few weeks now and have it almost completed. One of the biggest problem with these Bridge cards is the fact that they d...

Needing DAC Advice
@torontodt  Agree. The PS Direcstream Mk I and Mk II in stock form do need more detail and better imaging performance.  With the proper mods and custom nickel audio transformers it's a different game. The SDM is programed in the FPGA. No off the ...
