PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR

Still measures poorly after the new firmware update.

And it sounds really, really, really good.

Trust your ears not the MEASUREBATORS !

Trust both, as they go hand in hand, that way your not kidding yourself.  

Yes and no, George. Your statement is more useful - if the proper caveats are included.

Thanks for the link to the review.  Ugghh.  Looks like I made a bad choice in buying the Stellar Gain Cell DAC/pre-amp.  Interestingly, when using the DAC function, it sounds pretty good on quiet and simple music, but when the music gets more complex and louder, something just doesn't sound right. Hard to describe it.
I like the functionality of it, in that it is also a pre-amp and has home theater bypass, since it is part of a family room system that is used for both music and movies.  I wonder if there is some similar product that actually has good performance.
