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?

So nice to see positive enthusiasm here on the forum. PS Audio is obviously doing a great many things right.

My foray into PS Audio began with their GCHA headphone amp which I still have and use. That lead me to their Digital Link III. Then their trio C100 integrated. For me, the fact that their equipment can last so long, sound so good, at incredible value speaks to the quality of what they build even on their value line. The ice amp module finally failed on the C100 and PS Audio, being who they are, let me trade in the C100 at a msrp for a Directstream Junior DAC. Already being a fan, they now have a customer for life. My next purchases will be the BHK pre and amp. Looking forward to seeing the team at Axpona again this year!
I'm on the bandwagon. My Wadia 850 bit the dust about a year ago and did a lot of research before settling on the DSJ/PWT combo and I couldn't be more pleased. I thought my Wadia couldn't be replaced at a reasonable price point. I was wrong and the PS Audio combo is just fantastic. I love my 850 but I'm hearing things I never heard before! I have no trouble recommending PS Audio to anyone.
I have had a PS Audio Direct Stream Jr for 6 days, and I am INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED. It is Fantastic !

I also have a power conditioner which seems to be doing well, although I was a little disappointed when I saw the "Made in China" under the conditioner. I usually strive to have all of my audio equipment to be Made in USA..... I have 30 days to return the conditioner if that is what I decide....not sure what I am going to do about that. I feel it is fine, but its been in the back of my mind since I saw it.

In conclusion, the DS JR sounds AMAZING worth every ounce of hype in my opinion. Although I have had some issues with Tidal being slow; I dont believe this has anything to do with PS Audio. I feel confident that if it is discovered that PS Audio products are contributing to the problem they will do what they can to fix it. I so far have only come across one other person having this Tidal issue so it looks like PS Audio has nothing to do with it.
If you buy PS Audio, you wont be disappointed....just make sure you break it in. My DSJR sounded pretty mediocre when I first turned it on but it has changed DRAMATICALLY in the days I have had it. Sounds glorious. Mine has been on not stop since it arrived last Saturday, except for a 4 hour break I gave it after 4 days straight running.
