A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?

“Do you hear any hiss from your speakers when no music is playing, or does the music come from a pitch black background as they say ?”

Pitch Black no hiss not even a hint. No hiss even with one ear stuck right over the tweeter. Up until I got my new speakers and active amp I would have told folks that a slight hiss with one ear right up against the tweeter was normal.

Shadorne, can I ask what speakers you are using ?

My simplest digital set up so far. DAC direct to active speakers. Pitch black.

I do get hiss from the TT when volume level is high - I don’t think you can avoid that.

I dont chime in on these normally but I do think PS Audio is worthy of praise.  Two years ago I did a major upgrade of my system.  I purchased the PS Audio BHK amp, BHK pre amp and the Direct stream Jr DAC.
After some tweaking and getting my turntable cartridge and phono stage right I cant imagine a better sounding system.  Audio nirvana.  If  you ever have a question it is easy to always get someone on the phone at PS Audio and they will spend as much time with you as you need.
If you ever need assurance that Paul is serious about his business just look at their forums.  He always chimes in.  Build quality is very robust.
I am a big fan of theirs.
