PS Direct Stream Vs. Wyred 4 Sound Dac.

PS Direct Stream Vs. Wyred 4 Sound Dac.
Both of these Dac’s claim to be world beaters. I own the PS Dac but I wonder how the Wyred 4 Sound Dac compares.
Has anyone had any experience with these 2 Dac’s or point me in the direction of a review comparing them?

Just found the price. Looks like it retails for $4700.

There's one on US Audiomart for $2800 and now that they are self distributed in the US the dealers have more wiggle room.  Try Ellington Audio

Ok, I have given up on the Wyred unit.

Since I own the Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp now I am wondering about the potential synergy with  using the Ayre QX-5 Twenty Dac.

Can anyone offer info as to how the Ayre compares to the PS Audio Direct Stream Dac?

Thanks,
ozzy

I have the wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac, I put it up against the $15,000 Sim audio DAC and the wyre 4 sound totally beat it in every area. If you read the darko review he said it was better than the PS audio direct stream chord and a few others.One of the other reviewers said this was the most analog dac that he's ever had in his system and I totally agree I would love to see how the 10th anniversary dac would do against DCS. This dac is definitely a world beater, I don't think there's anything at any higher price that would beat this thing significantly. I can't believe audio note is selling a dac for $115,000 what a rip off.
