Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?

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...

supply and demand

Responding to CAkids comment…. The DirectStream DAC has a very long break in Period. A week is insufficient for the deck to really come into its own. Listening for a week I was disappointed with the presentation of the direct stream DAC but could hear the potential.

Into the second week the DAC really woke up. Some have claimed in other reviews it takes as long as 200 or 300 hours or longer for it to fully break in.
