PS Audio Direct Stream

My Direct Stream has been shipped! Should get it sometime next week.

Everything I have read thus far suggests the DS only needs about 100 hours of burn in time (that's about 4-5 days) to reach full potential. This is important to me so that I can give the unit the best chance it has to shine.

Has anyone heard it needs longer?

Otherwise, I will burn it in for 7 days before I listen. That's about 160 hours.

Matt. I have one, 200 hours is the jump off point . A few on the PSA forum are reporting 500.. I have about 500 on mine and I'd concur.

I am pretty sure it's a 30 day return policy.
So I will chew up the first 20 days burning in.....

I better confirm the length of that return policy. ;)

PSA DirectStream break-in time.
I have a PSA PWD MkII. After two weeks of break-in I was ready to return it. Hard sounding treble, thin bass. My vendor said they took a long time to sound right and that their worst sound during break-in was after two weeks (powered on 24x7). After the two week mark, it started sounding better and after a month, the treble was clean, relaxed, extended and the bass was tight, deep, and musical. I don't know if the DirectStream settles in faster, but this is just fyi from my experience.
