Other Notes: 

"The PS Audio PerfectWave DirectStream DAC MK1 is an FPGA-based digital-to-analog converter that upsamples all audio to single-bit DSD, delivering future-proof performance through firmware updates rather than hardware changes. Its sound is organic and smooth, avoiding the glare of typical chip-based DACs. Updates like Sunlight and Pikes Peak refine treble, enhance low-level detail, and expand bass impact, keeping the DAC evolving over time.

Housed in a steel and aluminum chassis with a responsive touchscreen, the MK1 offers I2S, USB, coax, XLR, and Toslink inputs, with I2S delivering the best performance. Its bit-perfect digital volume control can drive power amplifiers directly. Praised for a wide, holographic soundstage and natural musicality, it refines recordings of all quality levels, combining longevity and emotional engagement in one high-end DAC."

Bridge II Network Card installed ($899 Upgrade).
