| 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 Was browsing this AM and found this hack job. This maybe worse than the first one posted. At least he is not selling this for retail. Vocm mod 🤣 | |
| 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 Here is our new assessment. “We feel the new firmware made a large improvement in sound quality. If I had to put numbers on it from 1-10 Stock MK1 6 Modded MK1 9 Stock MK2 with old firmware 7 Stock MK2 with new firmware 8 Modded MK2 with ne... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 That older info was posted before the massive final was released and with sunlight firmware installed in the MK1. With ether the current massive or massive beta installed on the modded MK2 and Snowmass 3.0.5 installed on the modded MK1 we feel no... | |
| 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... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 FYI... In the several posts above with no photos showing, for some reason you have to "click" on the blank area and the photo will show. 🤔 | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 Quote from emailists : "This might sound crazy but maybe some of APS's customers can thrown in $40 each and buy Ted a pair of APS he can play with on a spare or pre production MkII. I think it would yield better updates if Ted could also hear wh... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 As promised. We were busy yesterday measuring the Directstream MK2 DAC. I knew we liked the previous Massive Beta best (in blue below). It measures and sound best to us. As promised. We were busy yesterday measuring the Directstream MK2 DAC. I ... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 We also would like to clear up a roomer that has been going around about our MK2 transformers making units run hotter. This is false. One of the tests for these transformers was a temperature test. A unit with our Nickel Transformers installed run... | |
| Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 I would know first hand if even one unit failed that we installed transformers in. We have had none fail. They must be talking about someone doing a self install of some others transformers as we only sent out (2) two pairs for self install. One... |
