Why so many PS Audio DirectStreams for sale?

If you can swing it I would recommend you upgrade your dac to the DS. You will love it and IMO it will not be a lateral move by any stretch. I think the DS is a great DAC and much much better than the DACs you named above. Compared to the DACs you listed I think it will blow your mind. I loved mine.

If your thinking bang for bunch to upgrade these PS Audio MK DACs are pretty easy to do the upgrade yourself and they have a video to walk you through it. If you can get a good used MKII kit for around $500 that would give you a nice bang for buck upgrade for sure but the DS is a total other higher league. I think the DS DAC is the best at its price range and much better than many more expensive DACS also. Good luck. If you decide to do a manual upgrade and have any questions feel free to reach out I know how to do it and am glad to help...

Is there a new model coming out and they are trying to blow out the ones they still have? I have seen ps audio do this before. They'll even give the units to TMR to sell on thier behalf. TMR is an online store but is located half an hour from ps audio and I think they have a deal together... could be wrong

Nope, the DS is just out and they are still working out bugs. PS Audio got their hands full on the DS.

LOL! I had a PWDMKII and it sounds excellent but the firmware instability was maddening. My PWDMKII is hardwired ethernet and have to reboot on a daily basis. GL!!!
