Like Devialet - The PS Audio

PS Audio Direct Stream DAC

It's contentious today whether the PS Audio Direct Stream DAC is worthy of being called hi-fi art, due to the quality of the display, circuit boards, and the logo presentation, however it's stellar to note that it's the first in hi fi to follow Devialet's lead, and release a firm-ware update (for free) to improve the sound quality for it's existing customers.

We've talked about it already in Facebook.com on "Top Stuff" and have consider how it, and iFI with their Micro DSD are pushing the DSD/DAC category, in the technology and product departments, likewise, along with Oppo! with their DVD players and HA-1 headphone amplifier products -- good stuff.

There is some evolution to occur in the DAC component category. The case design for the DirectStream is excellent, although Lumin has the lead, hands down, presently.

As for PS Audio, their isn't a product in their lineup that we'd like better than their Sprout.
