Hello NeonKnight,
I have just sold and moved on from a complete PS Audio setup with DS DAC, BHK Pre and BHK 250 amp. I have two systems, so swapping gear was easy. In the end, I found the PS Audio all a bit 'less clear' and less resolving than nice SS stuff. To directly compare the amps, I liked the clarity of my older Classe Audio CA-2300 amp better than the BHK 250. I also now have a pair of Mola Mola Kalugas that are amazing...and I said 'no class D amps!'. Well I ate those words. My replacements for the PS Audio stuff is: Auralic Vega G2 DAC (much more resolving), Audionet Pre 1 G3 Preamp (amazing and a deal previously owned through GTT Audio), and my Classe amp. The entire system is so much cleaner sounding now. Much clearer, much quieter (I always heard noise from my B&W N802's with the PS Audio, not anymore), and just more interesting and (to me) enjoyable. My dream list includes the Audionet Amps, again GTT Audio... Upstairs my new stuff is all Mola Mola; Makua Pre amp with internal DAC, and the Kaluga mono amps. Symply amazing clarity, dynamics, etc. And it is so pretty...Good luck! Ken.
