PS Audio Direct Stream

Ozzy, not so on that.

I use I2S from my Empirical Audio Off Ramp 5 into the PWD II I2S input.

Ozzy, My guess USB drivers are already installed on BDP-2 but I would stick with XLR.

BTW, have you compared BDP-2/DS to your Cary 306?

There are non-PSA units with I2S outputs that can connect to the Directstream. W4S server is one example.

Yes, there are other units that can use the I2S via a HDMI cable.
But, its too bad that one of the 2 HDMI inputs couldn't be just used as a regular HDMI input.
So, I could use that input with my Oppo.

I now have over 200 hours on the Direct Stream.
Right now I am going straight into my Qol and then into the Amp. Thus, bypassing my Preamp.
I'm really likening it this way..
