Berkeley Dac 2 or PS audio DSD or Schiit Yggs?

I have enjoyed a PS Audio DirectStream DAC for about 18 months now and it still puts a grin on my face!

Yes, it does do DSD, but the sound quality from "regular old fashioned" 44.1/16bit PCM is just awesome!

Another thing I really like about the PS Audio products is that they publish firmware updates which are easy to download and apply, which improve the performance of their products.

I see that they have introduced a "DirectStream Junior", which they say is about 85% of the "DirectStream".

PS Audio is the schiit IMO.

Torries, The latest firmwear from ps audio lowers distortion in a way I’ve never heard before . I do sell their gear so obviously I like what they are doing. They keep redefining what’s possible for digital and updates are free thanks to the fpga instead of an off the shelf chipset.


screw MQA btw as they've decided to lock out using our own dacs.

A decade ago MQA had some benefit to us. Braodband and disk space is so cheap right now, there's no longer any benefit at all to the end user. It's like HDCP built into HDMI. That they want me to pay extra for it is insult to injury. 

Best,
