PS Audio Direct Stream Memory Player

Ozzy,
I have had a PS Audio DirectStream DAC since they first came on the market and have enjoyed each and every one of the firmware updates.
Before the DirectStream transport came out, I had the PWT and it was "the cat's meow" playing "regular" CDs.
In June I replaced the PWT with the new DirectStream transport.  I did have an issue "pairing" it with the DAC, as my DAC was an early model and had a defective "digital board", which apparently advertises it's serial number and pairs with the "digital board" in the transport...so the transport can output pure DSD out the I2S interface, pure DSD into the DAC...IMO, the best digital I've ever heard!
I have roughly 50 or so SACDs and the sound of DSD is definitely something to enjoy.
But I must say, "regular" CDs sound significantly better as well.
I am really happy with my PS Audio products.  The few times I've needed to contact support, they have been awesome!  I believe you will be impressed if you buy the transport!

ejr1953,

Thank you so much for that info. My Dac is also fairly old so I hope I don't have a problem. I plan on taking the analog out of the PS Dac and copying that music to an external hardrive via my Tascam Recorder set at 24/96hz. I only have about 5000+CD's to copy.

What HDMI cable are you using?

I would like to add the SR Blue fuses. Can you tell me the size and the value of the fuse?

Thank you,
ozzy

Ozzy , We all burn threw a pile of money at times chasing sonics only to become a mundane change or out right disappointment .
Though I own PS Audios Direct Stream Memory Player & Direct Stream dac senior these components on the other hand turned out to be the best audio purchase i have made in a long , long while .

For the first time since SACD was introduced back in 2000 I now really like the sound of most sacd I own and cd play back far exceeded my expectations having recently owned an Esoteric KO3 and EMM Labs SACD players .

PS Audios stock 12s cable which is manufactured by Kimber Kable will compete with other far more expensive cables I borrowed to tried out , 
All the best for a New Year 

@ozzy I purchased a PS Audio Direct Stream Memory Player a few months ago and I like it and have no complaints. Well built and sounds good. I use a Yamamoto Dac but have had no problems at all.

in_shore, 

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me the value and the size of the fuse in the Memory Player? I would like to replace it with a SR Blu fuse.

lak, 

Great talking to you on the phone today and thanks for the information.

Happy New Year to all you Audiogonners!
