PS Audio Direct Stream Memory Player

I just received the SR blue fuse. 

This is probably the most profound example of a unit/fuse that needed to go in a certain direction. I first placed the fuse with the writing on it going from back to front.  Then, What???... the music sounded weird and dull. 

Reversed the direction with the fuse with the writing on the fuse now from the front of the Memory Player to the back of the unit and WALA the soundstage snapped into place.

Previously I didn't find much use in trying the blue fuses in different directions but perhaps I just got lucky. This was an eye opener for sure.

I'm a believer as many others are in that the direction matters ;-)!

For those of you that have the PS Direct Stream Memory Player the I2S (HMDI) cable used to connect to the Direct Stream Dac is so very important.
I just received the Wireworld Platinum HDMI. Very big improvement over the HDMI that was supplied by PS Audio.

Funny that even though the PS Direct Stream Memory Player instructions states to use a .5 meter, best quality available to get the best sound quality out of the player they supplied a 1 meter HDMI.

With this new HDMI cable cold out of the box it already displays a deeper soundstage and a deeper bass than the PS supplied cable.
I’ll still give it about 100 hours to break in.

Glad to hear it's all working out :-)!

I took Ozzys recommendation of Wireworlds Plantium Starlight 7 HDMI cable and put my order in for one today.
