I received my PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player, replacing my PerfectWave Memory Player, hooked to my DirectStream DAC via the I2S connection.
The new disk player has a number of advances, hooked to a DirectStream DAC it has the ability to output native DSD directly to the DAC (will need to wait on auditioning that, my DAC is an early model and PS Audio will be doing a hardware update for me, for free).
The improvement in the sound quality of "regular" CDs is immediately noticeable! When a drummer is well recorded, you can "experience" the timbre of ride cymbals vibrating, not just the sound. It also seems to have more "distinctness" to the individual performers. The bass is better controlled and defined. And the soundstage is improved.
Can't wait for my DAC to be returned with the updates. But so far, the sound of "regular" CDs is awesome!
Great job PS Audio!
