PS Audio Direct Stream

Descriptions of sounds are mostly meaningless. You have to actually hear them to understand.

Thanks, Charles1dad, French fries, Hgeifman, and Bsme85,for your comments.
I am not shy of returning things that don't impress. After all, I have been banned from Audio Advisor.

It is good to know that PS Audio stands behind there products. I guess the 2 things that I am concerned with is, the possible loss of high frequency extension. (I love hearing the smash of a cymbal). And the reduction of dynamics. Both of these items have been commented about on different forums.

+1French fries regarding the varying quality of the actual CD/SACD. When mastered and produced with a high level of care they can sound quite wonderful and engaging.
Charles,

First formal review of the Directstream http://www.audiophilia.com/wp/?p=13620

Wish Karl would have compared the DS to some DACs other than the PWD.
