PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR

Good news.  Most every dac he says measures poorly actually sounds very good.  Many of the great measuring dacs, based on his particular set of chosen measurements, sound electronic and artificial to me.  This is good news for PS Audio. 🙂

The basic task of a DAC is to recreate the digital signal without noise. A 6k device is failing in basic measurement. Will you be happy with a car which is advertised at making 400HP making 130HP on dyno? 

Ah, to each his own, though my ears don't particularly care about measurements. 

Rather than put my two cents in on this discussion (I have owned a DS for five years) I would suggest reading the thread on the PS Audio site where Ted Smith, the designer of the DS, and many of the forum members respond to the “findings”.  See https://forum.psaudio.com/t/another-review-of-the-ds-dac/13027

I read those comments. I wish they accepted the shortcomings or technically challenged the measurements than blindly rejecting the shortcomings.

PS: I own a DS jr.
