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.

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.

PSA just posted their measurements.

Yes they did. SINAD at best would be 70 dB. Same as what we posted last week when I was accused of posting bias measurements and badmouthing PS Audio.
