I’ve been watching Paul McGowan on Youtube, I just gotta to give this man so much credits on such valuable info he’s sharing with us audiophaniatics. I do love the guy to death.
I really want to support his business, I really do, but they aren’t cheap either (BHK-300)
Off you go, share your experience with PS AUDIO.

I think their stuff is awesome. Bought the SGCD, traded it back to them for a DirectStream DAC Sr. Paid the difference in price with an additional discount. Also own x3 Stellar M700’s for L, C, & R. Future purchase is an S300 for the rear surrounds. Can’t afford the BHK stuff and envy the M1200’s that just came out but can’t afford those (yet) !

Toured the Factory and met all sorts of wonderful folks including Darren Myers and Gus Skinas. James gave an excellent tour where I had the whole place to myself ! Paul was away that day but Gus & Darren more than made up for it as did all the music rooms which were mine for an afternoon. Left a copy of Paul's book 99% True on his desk, and he graciously signed it for me and mailed it back.

I’m not a "Trumper" but this is why it’s important to buy American made products.
Ps Audio customer support is second to none. Their BHK and Directstream line of products are superb, in my opinion. Many other manufacturers that I've dealt with were a little off-putting to say the least. Another manufacturer with great customer support is Frank Van Alstine from AVA. Buy products from either of these companies with confidence. 
I auditioned the DSD against my Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE DAC.  The DSD sounded nice and I thought the build quality was great. After a couple of weeks of A/B testing, I came to the conclusion it wasn’t $3+K better that the Tubadour by any measure.  I returned the DSD.  
I had a P-300 power plant - their first regenerator.  Class AB power supply and balanced at the output outlets. It was excellent.  It eventually failed after several years.  I then bought a P500 that didn't not have an class AB power supply nor was it balanced.  I didn't think it sounded as good as the P300.  the P500 failed after 2 years.  I bought a Power Plant Premier, It was better than the P500, but still not balanced, not class AB and didn't sound as good as the P300.  I can't speak for the newer class of regenerators.  

I have a BHK 250.  It appears to be very well built and sounds superb in my system.  I am very happy with it.
The DS dac is a fantastic product that offers better sq and features than 2x or 3x more expensive dacs. Sometimes, When you hear people indicating that they didn’t like the DS they were using an older firmware release and this makes a big difference. To me, each firmware update raises the sq, and it’s damn good to start with.
As for features, who else has network (Ethernet) input, i2s input, free firmware upgrades, can easily drive an amp without using a preamp, MQA support, Roon endpoint, and it’s FPGA based?
