PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed!

I had a DirectStream Mk 1. It sounded good to me but I didn't like it's streamer card. It crashed all the time.  I bought an AirLens and that was a lovely upgrade. PS Audio had a trade-in deal which gave me the DirectStream II for $3500. THAT was a good deal. The 2nd iteration of their DAC is better- not exponentially better but audibly better. They are heavy - the build quality is really good. they use discreet components which is a big deal. 

I'll probably buy something better in the future- the Playback Designs MPD 8 is on my wish list. 

TMR is a great dealer to do business with. Regrettably, I missed both a Denafrips Ares 15 and a Holo Audio Cyan 2 within days of each other. Opinion please - which would you choose for around $1200 ?

Ill give a hearty Amen on that. I'm not sure I ever got it working...at least not correctly.

DaC is fine for now. It plays well with my system & sounds rather good. I'm sure there is better but the player is my weak spot IMO

I own a PSAudio MK-1 And an Airlens, I’m super pleased with the sound. I did purchase a $200.00 iPad from Best Buy to act as a full time remote to control Tidal connect, for me this was a no option upgrade as switching between different source Phones/computers was clumsy and aggravating. 4 people in my home operate the system and again switching was a pain.  

Anyone considering a foreign made DAC ought to pull the trigger prior to the end of the year as it appears that tariffs are coming.
