PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC


First of all I have no affiliation with PS Audio, just an interested observer.

PS Audio has just announced their successor to the Perfectwave MKII called the Directstream DAC. It implements DSD and eliminates the PCM delivery system and uses a Field Programmable Gateway to acheive results which they say will "uncover more music on redbook CDs than was possible.

A full explanation can be read here:

"Anyone who has paid full price for a MKI, MKII and now this is likely in $10K"

I meant full price MKI to MKII upgrade to DSD upgrade.
I have the MKII,PSA will give pre owners a 30 day in home, if you do not like their new DSC. they will refund your money.
Only one question, why are SO many owners of the PWD MK II putting them up for sale here on Audiogon instead of upgrading?
One reason would be that they aren't interested in trading up and they want to sell now before their MKII's take a bigger hit in value (which will likely occur when the DSD's are in full swing). Or, they hope to get more than the $2000 PS Audio is offering on a trade-in and then hope to buy the DSD for less than the full retail PS Audio is selling them for .
