| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 I overlooked the reason some didn't think Snowmass 3.05 sounded better than other versions. We revisited this with the original Rev.1 transformers and the difference between the firmware is very close. We feel Windom or Sunlight do sound very goo... | |

| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 No. The transformers are even different. . | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 With our nickel transformers and stock. To us it sounds like a fake top end and lack of low/mid dynamics. We like fpga1_208_Antero best. We also feel that both the MK1 and MK2 needs a preamp to sound it’s best just like most other DAC’s. | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 Quote by georgeab "Can we purchase APS stickers like the ones shown above?" We started using these badges on our signature series DAC upgrades where we fine tune the DC offset and use the newer revised transformers in the MK1. | |

| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 I forgot to add the MK2 with the Antero firmware. It's also a "10" In modded form, We feel the MK1 and Mk2 with the above firmware sound almost identical. No one here could tell which DAC was playing. | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 OK... We have only 3 pairs of MK2 cores left and will not be offering them any longer after they are gone. | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? The modded Directstream MK1 is one of the best sounding DAC's. Even better than the "NEW" MK2. See the new info here: https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2608487 | |

| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 Your welcome. You should give Firmware Snowmass 3.0.5 a try. With it the MK1 will sound even better than the new MK2 with our transformers installed. It's the most musical sounding firmware ever. We are deciding if we will even offer transforme... |
