Glad you are enjoying your MK1. The USB shorting plugs makes a big improvement If you are not using that port.

Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2
I would like to continue discussing all the mods we have created for these two DAC's as it seems PS Audio is no longer allowing discussions about them on their forum.
For reference here is a link to the closed discussion.

Wow Jeff these power boards are elegantly designed. Thats more plug and play than I would have ever expected. I know this is a hard question to answer, but how "good" of an external PSU is needed to make a sonic improvement? Would a mid-level Chinese eBay linear PSU be better than what's in the unit already? Or is a top-flight linear needed to make a difference? (Obviously a better supply is a better choice but I am wondering how high/low the baseline internal PS is) |
I use this one. The DS has several local regulators so it’s not super critical. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255800739878853
