The Directstream Mk1 with transformer upgrade is a really nice DAC for under 3K. I haven't done the update to my DAC yet but hope to in the near future.
DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport
I have the PS Audio SACD transport on order. The ideal matching DAC to connect the PSA SACD transport is the just released PS Audio Direct Stream DAC II. But at USD8K, the price makes it seem like a bridge too far. Therefore I am looking for another DAC that is compatible with the PSA SACD transport, for SACD playback via I2S. I am eyeing the Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE DAC as it is reported to be an excellent DAC and is substantially cheaper than the PSA DAC.
Are there any other DACs that you can recommend? Or do you think I should bite the bullet and get the PSA SACD DAC?
I must admit to being tempted from time to time, as PSA releases regular DAC updates which essentially gets you a new DAC. But then sanity intrudes LOL.

@danager Yes indeed, but the price in Malaysia is still about USD8K unfortunately. @lordmelton Many thanks. The only drawback for the Denafrips is the lack of a remote. I understand they are very good. @gregoryg LOL. Not sure I follow you completely, but I would be very appreciative (in spirit) of any assistance rendered sir! |
