PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2 DAC - How good is it vs Mk1? Weiss, Bricasti?
You can see the available mods here. I had everything installed by APS. To be clear, I'm not saying the mk2 won't get better. I'm just saying for a lot less money you can have mk1 with upgrades, and it as nice and maybe more preferable than the m... 
PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2 DAC - How good is it vs Mk1? Weiss, Bricasti?
I recently was in a local shop that sells the Weiss dacs and had a chance to listen to the 501 and 204. Now granted this experience was not in my own system, but in a very expensive setup nonetheless. I wanted to hear how it somewhat compared to m... 
DAC with i2S
A used PS Audio Directstream MKI. Then once funds allow, upgrade the transformers to APS along with the Vocm mods. Complete sleeper dac. I cannot imagine anything under $20K sounding better.  
New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport
Thanks. I looked into that thread which lead me to another thread on the Rose site where I learned it cannot access lossless on apple music. That's pretty unfortunate. Hopefully they are working on getting that access. Also learned it leverages an... 
New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport
Any updates from anyone who has purchased the rs130? To me it's the most desirable streamer available right now, and I'm curious if it lives up to the promises.

Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2
Ok, so I put everything in my cart on your website, pay for it all, and then in November you reach out for me to send in my dac? Nothing on the website indicates "preorder", so just want to make sure I follow.  
Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2
Thanks for the response. I’m not sure what "I’m doing wrong" either. I’m not tech illiterate, I promise. So you don’t see my message in your inbox? FWIW I don't see where to check inbox in the forums. You have to go back to main audiogon website (... 
Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2
I’m looking to get these upgrades for my MK1 and have tried getting in touch here via private message and the contact form on the website. No luck yet. I see today I have another transformer option. I thought I was set on the nickel but see the i... 
Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system?
I'm using a 2 watt Decware SE84UFO amp with high efficiency (96bd) speakers and an Omega deep8 sub in a 1,000sq ft apartment and love it. Volume on the amp never goes past noon. Plenty of volume, density, imaging, and overall great listening. I th... 
Looking for a Phono pre around 1K
I'm using the same cartridge and can without a doubt recommend the Decware ZP3. It's little over your budget but worth it in my opinion. The soundstage is superb and to me sounds very real and musical. No unwanted noise what so ever. Complete sati...
