PS Audio Direct Stream

Mattnshilp - I would have pulled a very similar list to yours. I'm looking forward to the eventual post.

Any updates on reviews or comparisons?

There really is something to this Lampy obsession. They are wonderful DAC's!! I received my Big6 today and it's sound is simply breathtaking! The DirectStream is shipping June 2nd.

I don't want to hijack this thread. So....

For those interested in reading my comparison of:
Lampy Big6
PS Audio DirectStream
Jeff Rowland Aeris
Empirical Audio OverDrive SE
Possibly an Aesthetix Pandora Signature

It's a fun read and a fun experience!

Mattnshilp, Thank you for your posting. I look forward to your comparisons of those Dacs with the Direct Stream. Is the Lampizator more expensive than the PS Direct Stream?

Yes. I believe it retails for $8K-
Aeris retail is $9600-
Directstream is $6k-
OverDrive SE is about $8K- with options +/-

so even if I determine that its as good but just doesn't have perfect synergy with my system, its still a feather in the DS cap competing with DAC's at $2-4k more.
