Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?

I hear a lot of good things about Lumin from the T2 on up. There seem to be a lot of people that love the DS updates though. What I can’t figure out is how much better can these DACs get and aren’t the diminishing returns quick after you pass the $5k mark?

Compared to the Lumin X1? it is multiple times better than the Direct Stream Dac.
BTW, I was also able to sell my preamp, cables etc. which made the cost difference affordable.

I too moved on from the DS dac and Dmp transport. Seems that you can’t give away PS Audio equipment any more. I sold both units for less than half retail and was happy to sell them at that price. The re-sale prices will just continue to drop. Direct buy only is going to make PSA equipment a bad investment imho...

the PS gear used to be available new at the big dealers at 45% off...so the used prices are actually quite high considering what most paid for them new...
