Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2
I would like to continue discussing all the mods we have created for these two DAC's as it seems PS Audio is no longer allowing discussions about them on their forum.
For reference here is a link to the closed discussion.

"Luckily I don’t see that random PCB sticking out from my pictures of when I opened up my unit". If anyone opens up their unit and see’s this just put it back together and ask for a replacement unit. It will eventually fail without any help.

Today a PS Audio technical service technician posted an advisory regarding modified DSD Mk II DACs (latest iteration). Apparently they have had more than a few of these modified units come i for repair. The nature of the repair was an output transformer swap. PS Audio is not saying what transformers were installed, who did the install, or if the installation was sub par. These units are failing all PS Audio bench tests and the repair is a replacement bard with the original style transformers installed. As the affected units have been modified the repair is not covered buy warranty.
