Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited?

@hilde45

don’t know if you know about the genesis digital lens unit from the 90’s 00’s - that word ’lens’ has been part of paul’s lexicon for digital since his arnie nudell/genesis days

thusly i wouldn’t connect his use of the word is any particular suggestion about what is in this new streamer

The Air Lens has no software included at all.  Easier to think of it as a Rendu with an I2s output and SPDIF output. Same collection of aftermarket software choices as work with the two iFi devices.

AirLens word is referring to something PS Audio already used on their SACD transport, lots about this you can find on PS Audio forum along with dedicated thread about the upcoming unit.

@pmotz according to the video, masking is still required to visit. That put me off. I was already wavering when I saw the fr 30 and that was the last straw

This sort of marketing hyperbole is what drives me nuts about this company. At around the 4:30 mark it sounds like he is claiming they invented the sony/Phillips I2S data format. Even if you can say well he meant the interface to access,  all that amounts to is a pin layout for HDMI.  I also don't get the notion USB  which uses galvanic isolation in any decent implementation is terrible but digital coax and HDMI  with galvanic isolation on this is great.  So I'm not at all excited about nothing new to see here.
