About the DirectStream
The PS Audio DirectStream DAC MK2 is the latest iteration of PS Audio's flagship digital-to-analog converter, featuring hand-written discrete conversion via FPGA technology. It processes PCM and DSD inputs, upsampling everything to 20 times DSD rate (11.2896MHz) before outputting pure analog through a passive transformer-coupled stage. Galvanically isolated inputs and outputs minimize noise and jitter, while free firmware updates ensure ongoing improvements. It functions as both a standalone DAC and a preamplifier with precise digital volume control, eliminating the need for a separate preamp in digital-only systems. Designed and manufactured in Boulder, Colorado, it delivers exceptional musicality, detail, and realism.
