PS Audio uber dac

PS Audio will have stiff competition in this price category and I wish them success.
However having recently sold a Direct Stream player & dac senior just months new replaced by better performing dac a couple grand less then the dac senior and a more reliable transport that’s equal in performance minus the occasional screen freeze ups and other frustrating glitches I experienced .
Also not to mention re-sale value they are definitely not “value for your money” components , not even close so I agree with you  Aolmrd1241 

In shore,what were your replacements for the ps combo?

First I have to admit I very much liked the PS Audio combo I had not been aware of PS Audio until my favourite dealer brought them in .
They swiftly replaced a aging Esoteric player and eventually my analog components though at times I do miss the resolution of good analog playback however I do not miss the fuss and maintenance .

i have a fairly expensive server / jukebox thingmajig along with trying trying out other digital components I no longer have the PS Audio pair nor the Denafrips terminator dac and settled on a CEC TL2n transport and backwards move as it may sound a $2,400. Yggdrasil analog 2 dac , it’s really good believe it or not .

What do you like better about the sound of the Yggdrasil  DAC over the PS Audio Direct Stream Sr ? Did the PSA DD Sr have the "Red Cloud" update?

I was perfectly content with the PS Audio pair and yes the dac had the Redcloud firmware installed .
A audio friend asked if he could bring over his new dac to try out the I2s compatibility with the PS Audio player along with just hearing it in a completely different system.
The dac was Denafrips Terminator , never heard of it however playback of well recorded familiar music really made me sit up and listen carefully. 
The Denafrip equaled everything the PS senior did with a slightly different flavour to things however what immediately stood out was the sound stage with far better separation particularly front and back , size and location which made listening that much more pleasurable and without getting into a top to bottom forensic analyst here what stuck in my thoughts most was the fact the Denafrips was a couple grand less then PS Audio .
My purchase of the Terminator came days later and after a couple months with it there was an annoying glitch developed where upon first start up the Terminator would reverse channels which had me going through the modes to reset the dac and PS Audio player .

I tend not to waste my time reading through online fan club dribble of certain components including mainstream praises of audio and I never gave Schitt a single thought mainly because of the name and their popular headphone fan base .
However thanks to my friend Clay who does waist a enormous amount of his life online the experience launched me all over the map trying out different front end components where for now I settled with a CEC transport and Yggdrasil DAC 2 and I will add like speakers I believe dacs are also a personal taste component.
