PS audio also offers generous credits for trade ins of used audio equipment. During the sale, it wasn’t available on the Directstream Sr. but it’s now back. If you have things to trade, you can get close to the sale price. Their web site has a place to enter your trade ins and compute the value.
PS Audio DS Jr vs. SR
Looks like my dac search has led me to these two...I just dont know what the Jr gives up to the Sr.
As far as a price point, the Jr fits the budget on a used unit but can stretch it a little. I see a lot of Jr’s for sale so I’m curious if owners look for something new sooner than later. The ones that upgrade to the Sr, was it a large upgrade? The Sr is a bit of a stretch right now for the budget.
I know that can be subjective, but having never heard either, would like to know what users found different in terms of SQ with the Sr.
My current dac is my Marantz SA8005 which doubles as a transport....I will not need the Jr as a preamp.
Tough choice debating drinking some of the PSA Kool Aid now with the Jr, or hold out for the Sr.
All input and criticism appreciated.
