A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?


Hi, have been reading a lot about PS Audio BHK serie and their top Dac.
Do they deserve all the praise they are given, and do they hit way over their price class?

Also, how is the production quality?

Give it some time... there is a never-ending stream of "flavors of the month/giant killers" that are eventually replaced by the next.

I prefer the tried and true blue chip manufacturers and the re-sale value they offer.

Not saying PS Audio is not quality gear mind you... 
Interesting post hk - I dunno if PS is a flavor of the month at the moment, but they’ve been around 40 years.  They also happen to be doing some cutting edge stuff for reasonable money, rather than resting on their laurels.

You like blue chips (whatever that means in this context - high brand name recognition?) in part because you expect not to be ultimately satisfied by it and keep it?  What does that say?

Not meaning either to pick on you or shill for anyone.  We can leave PS out of it, and the response is the same.
I am just a realist audioguru22, I know myself and eventually I like to upgrade which means I need to sell my older gear.  I've watched lots of new products/companies come and go.... and what those products sell for after the initial buzz wears off.  I just prefer to stick with those companies that have history and can return more for me when it comes to sell.  That's all I'm saying.

It's the same reason I prefer Toyota/Lexus over BMW.

Again, I said nothing about PS.  My comment was that it will take time to see if the hype is valid for any product, not just this brand.
As been stated here PS Audio is not a new company, and I think that BMW as a company is both older and has a much finer pedigree than Toyota.
In Europe Toyota is seen as a very conservative company that likes to copy rather than innovative;-) 
Let's talk about that BMW pedigree when it comes to sell a 10 year old BMW vs a 10 year old Lexus.  ;)

Again... buy whatever you like it's still a somewhat - free country.  LOL
