Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?

 Lilchris why is the sponsered content?

Lets see T+A largest high end manufacturer in Germany
110 employees
14 full time German Engineers
40 year old company
known for developling all of its own proprietary technolgies

HV technology designed to emulate tubes with solid state devices running at high voltage rails..

Dac 8 DSD uses all in house decoding engine for DSD
Quad PCM decoding Engine
Proprietary filtering technlogies

Designs and builds all of its own parts for its loudspeakers.

T+A electronics are consistantly rated and compared to the worlds best products

T+A products receive mostly best in class or among best in class rave reviews.

Mike Lavorgina compared the Dac 8 DSD to dacs in the $10-30k price range when the DAC is running Quad rate DSD and found the Dac 8 perfroms at a ridiculous level of performance for the price.

Do the reserach Lilchris, T+A gear is pretty amazing.

Yes Lilchris I’m totally sponsored.

I’m waiting for my full set of HV series T+A gear to show up any day now after that sick post on Audiogon.

Fostex is throwing in some TH 909’s as well!  😉

I think PS Audio is a great company but I’m just being real and trying to cut through 5 years of hype, Directstream ain’t all that.  

IMHO, The Direct Stream with the latest firmware is all that!

Different systems, different ears, ymmv. Good things to remember whatever your experience with a particular piece of gear.  

That's one nice thing about some of the other sites where people have signatures on their posts that lists the full music chain.  Helps you evaluate how well their experience will transfer to your system.
