PS Direct Stream Vs. Wyred 4 Sound Dac.

fuzztone,
I'll see if I can find that review.
Thanks,

Nope, the Dave only goes to 96khz through the AES and Toslink connections.  The S/PDIF BNC Coax goes to 768 while the USB goes to 768.  You connect an MScaler through the S/PDIF BNC Coax

I have access to a couple used Daves in great condition if you are interested.  $7299 in Black.  

FWIW, I replaced an older W4S DAC II with a PS Audio PWDII several years ago, and never looked back. No contest between those two units.

Then I upgraded to the Directstream 3 years ago and have been a happy camper ever since.

I had the older W4S Dac 2. I was not very impressed with it. I ended up using it on a secondary system and using a 20 year old Mark Levinson No 39 CD player as a DAC which I thought sounded a lot better. I eventually replaced this with an Yggradsil A2 which easily beat both the ML and the W4S. I've recently replaced the Yggy with a Denafrips Terminator which I like even more.

I have only heard the PS audio DAC briefly, but from this limited exposure and what I've read about it, I think I'd prefer it over the W4S dac if the latest W4S sounds anything like the older one. 

I tested the PS Direct Steam running Torrey and a W4S DAC-2v2SE. They were very close - casually listening it may be hard to tell the difference. I did keep the W4S because I thought the decay of the instruments sounded more natural. I wouldn't think you'd be disappoineted with either one
