SOLD: PS Audio DirectStream dac (DSD) in very good to excellent condition (a couple of small scratches). Well cared for and works perfectly. Was upgraded from a PWD (replaced all except case + display). Has the latest firmware (Huron) and includes well-reviewed Synergistic Research Quantum Black power fuse (+ original fuse). Wonderful engaging sound from this highly regarded DAC. Add PS Audio's Bridge II for Roon and MQA, and also for full network compatibility. Selling because I've got two, and now only need one. Included will be everything that came with – box, outer box, manual, cord, remote, firmware SD.
$2995 shipped FedEx (CONUS) including PP fees (new = $5999). Check my feedback at Audiomart, Audiogon, Audio Asylum, head-fi and eBay (genegold99)
**N.B. This is a U.S. 110v model, with a U.S. serial number. Potential buyers should know that with PS Audio's international distribution network, distributors in other countries will probably not want to change the voltage, honor warranties or otherwise service the unit.
Check out the reviews in The Absolute Sound and Stereophile, where each made it a product of the year, and Part-Time Audiophile, 6Moons, Positive-Feedback and other review sites where it has won awards and been highly recommended. Also checkout the PS Audio forums for user comments and reviews (PS Audio is also known for great customer service). The DirectStream is rightly considered one of the best dac's in the world, and has the unique advantage of its sound quality being upgradeable by firmware, which PS Audio has done every year or so since its release.
From the introduction to the Positive-Feedback review:
"This isn't just another DAC; this is a design that pushes out the envelope of the audio arts a heckuva long ways, and at a not impossible price. That sort of thing doesn't happen often…in fact, for me, it's been a few years."
