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.

Not sure why someone would want to bad mouth PSA so much except for profit or just to be mean. Life is too short for that kind of shtuff.

Also without PSA his transformer business would be non existent so need to be careful before shooting oneself in the foot.

 

What makes him think I’m badmouthing PS Audio??? I was asked by Elk, the moderator on that site to post these measurements. That’s all I did was post actual unbiased measurements of both the MK1 and MK2.

Another funny post from PS Audio forum:

Also the thing with measurement, If I have a predetermined bias before hand, I can make the measurement results to support the said bias.

I’d take any audio measurements with a huge grain of salt unless the methology is published and can be verified by an unbiased party.

What??? How ridicules is that?

Why don't you ask for the manufacturer to show measurements that demonstrate otherwise? If manufacturer can't or won't do that, then that is that and independent data remains as authoritative.
