Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Strata, Integrated Amp/DAC/streamer?

audiotroy, 
Thanks for your suggestions.
The NAD 33 looked interesting, but it is quite a bit more expensive than I'm able to go at this time.
" The M33, a BluOS™ enabled DAC/amplifier that can serve as the heart of a reference whole-home system. In its simplest form, the M33 (US$4999/€4999/£3999 MSRP) is an ultra-high-performance streaming amplifier with superb audiophile sound "
On NAD's website it's output is listed as "Continuous Power: 200W into 8/4 Ohms", so no more power on tap for the additional $2000.
The Hegel looks fantastic... but then from what I hear, Hegels are very nice. However it's another $5000 integrated.
To stop the guessing over the Strata's price...PS Audio has the price listed on their website. It's $2999. Of course, unlike the NAD, it is lacking a PhonoStage, so I'd need to come up with that additionally.
One does wonder where they had to skimp to do that and whether or not the DAC or Streamer modules can be updated via software/firmware.
I went from receivers to separates a few years ago.. so it feels a little odd going back, but I'm not going to be upgrading my Emotiva preamp/dac and power amp with other separates costing 3-5 thousand each.
I got a mid/low end Marantz CD6006 last month. It has a DAC that blows away the DAC in my Emotive PT-100. I stream from my laptop through the Marantz now. It just started me thinking about what level of components must be in the Emotiva to create a Preamp, MM/MC PhonoStage, tuner and DAC for $325.
Anyways, it will be very interesting to test one.

MTDining, The  Ayre EX8 looks nice. Not sure what the output is for 4ohm speakers. They list " 100Wpc into 8 ohms (20dBW)". (Again thinking of my Maggie 1.6's.   Didn't see much in the way of streaming support, other than Spotify and Roon. Lastly, it's $6000.

Thanks all

If these new products can close the gap between audiophile vs  life style products i’m all for it.  Can’t think of a better pathway for the younger generation to get involved in HiFi.

PSA site has clarified that Strata will have a chip-based dac (unlike Directstream Sr, for example). The dac in Strata will presumably be upgraded over the one in Gain Cell Dac/Preamp.  The chip is ES9016 or 9018, I forget which (16 I think), for whatever that is worth.

Yeah, I agree with chrshanl37 on these products filling a nice gap and being good for the industry. Too many too content with poor quality and if this can be a gateway that’s good.

Chrshani these products are perfect for the new buyer just entering the market, the fact that the NAD piece is part of a broad high performance echo system which allows for sound via the same interface to be played throughout a house is a wonderful thing.

We are very big on the Nad and Naim products because they are both good to great sounding lines and they easily morph into echo systems that can allow for sound in the users Kitchen, or Family room, via a streaming soundbar, NAD, or via a NAD surround sound receiver etc.
The NAD is a 200 watts into both 8 ohm or 4 ohm loads the PS is 200 watts into a 4 ohm load but is only 100 watts into an 8 ohm load so unless your loudspeaker is 4 ohm the NAD may be a bit louder.
The take away is that this is an exciting time for audiophiles on a budget with outstanding sounding integrated amplifiers from Nam, Nad, and many others.

So Strata now appearing on PSA web site product page, listed at $2999 USD.

Not available for sale yet, product page says still in beta testing , but the PSA forums actually clarified (Paul himself, within last 10 days) won't start for Strata until near end of April (despite product page saying now in beta testing)

Perhaps this had been showing for awhile, but I just noticed it on the  PSA product page.  I think it'll be an interesting product.
