Why so many PS Audio DirectStreams for sale?


There are no fewer than 7 DirectStreams being offered on Audiogon today. I don't own a DS myself, but the consensus seems to be that it's a great DAC.

If that's the case, I'm wondering: why are so many owners selling their units? What are they moving to?

I agree with you Electroslacker.
That is why I respect companies that do not subscribe to the flavor of the month club but tend to have product lines that are stable over time.
The digital arena is an exception right now because the technology is changing so fast.
When everyone sells, now is the time to buy. I am selling one for a great price.
I am still with PWD. MKI. Go figure, just cant follow all the PS audio upgrades.
I had owned a few DACs like Rega, hegel HD11 and HD20, PWD MKI sounds much better than all of them. I am wondering what is my next move cause I like what i have been hearing for the past 4 years.
Some guys said to me to upgrade to MKII upgrade kit.
Others to jump DS upgrade, could anyone familiar could help me out with this desition. i simply dont have a lot of money to spend in lateral moves..
Kind regards.
I know the DS very well having heard it many times at a friends place and its the reference DAC at a Hi Fi store I frequent.

Its a VERY good DAC, and getting better with each Firmware update. But its in the accuracy detail mould - there are another group of DAC's such as my beloved Killer DAC in the musical mould. They are a bit less common but if its your bag you will likely want to move onto that when you hear it. My friend has my Killer at his place at the moment comparing it to his DS. He told me, except for himself, everyone that hears it, including his wife, prefers the Killer.

Thanks
