Enjoyed my M2Tech Young Dac for a good few years, was an upgrade to my Rega dac I had at the time.
Before that it was a couple of Stan Beresford dacs.

Sold the Young here and bought a PS Audio Directstream, great sounding bit of kit and unusual in that it runs from an FPGA, not a traditional Dac chip.
As such, its software programmable and its creator Ted Smith writes new improved firmware which PS Audio gives away for free.


All the connections you could ever need, including a direct ethernet input, which lets you use it as a streamer for Roon, Spotify etc.
Pretty cool.


Big deal for me here was I had fitted an i2s output board to my Oppo 203, which lets me use the dac's best sounding connection.
Here's me testing the output into the dac - all good.


With the free software upgrades which get more and more out the dacs hardware this one will see me out, no desire to change love how it sounds.
