Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC


I have borrowed a DirectStream DAC from my dealer very nice of him because he knows that I can't afford it (:
I have to say it is everything I have ever wanted from a streamer/dac. Music just pouring out of my speakers, real sweet music.

Voices just sounds so real, everything is in place, there are details but not in your face. I just love it. This is like music should sound.

I am using it with a PrimaLuna HP integrated. Very nice combo.

The DirectStream DAC junior is discontinuing and I can't get my hands on a used one.

If you have heard the DirectStream DAC and know of another dac sounding as musical -- let me know

Street price on a Directstream w/ bridge is closer to 4500 so compare that to a 4500 Lumin T2 which is not discounted as heavily and the PS Audio is a no brainer I sold my T2 as the sound gets fatiguing after a bit. Aurender A10 is very listenable but not quite as detailed as the T2. 
A few ladder DACs available in the 1,000-1,500 range if you can live without DSD. MHDT Orchid getting a lot of hype. 
OP, I know a dealer Chris in Ontario who has some Directstream Juniors on sale in both colors, you can email him at cjohnson@partsconnexion.com

I bought one a month ago, updated it to the newest "Snowmass" upgrade patch, and the sound is even more "analog" that advertised, which for me is a good thing.

Let us know how it goes, if you decide to buy one!
First dont turne this into a cat fight over a LUMIN product. I was looking for advices from people that has experiences with the PS DirectStream and has compared it to other dac's at a lower prices.

I am looking for used junior but I live in Denmark and there are sold very few PS Audio products.

I know I maybe asking to much but I was blown away by the PS. Had a Chord Qutest for a week, but the PS sounds so much better in my ears.
 
I have reported @audiotroy for trying to stuff a T2 down my throat  
I have the Bell canto 2.7 dac and it is very musical and natural sound8ng , upgrade the fuse and put in a quality power cord 
better still. The Schitt Yaggs is very good also , it excels in detail 
but in my system the Bel canto sounded more Natural,
not quite the absolute resolution in low level detail  but overall 
balance was most important to me and has a excellent digital preamp if you wanted to run direct into a amplifier 
from my Blu-ray I play concerts through it ,and has a Very very low noise floor,excellent dynamic range and Dual low noise Femto clocks Trillions of a second . Dedicated Audio give great deals,
and FYI they are coming out with a player Exact same setup
you can probable get for under $3k in the fall , thedac retail $2500
can be bought for under$2k, all great reviews they only did3-4 
Schiit saturates the market with reviews, 
If you are patient quite a few DS Juniors and Seniors come up on eBay, also try your PSAudio distributor they can often get hold of ex dem models
