I'm sure you know that system performance depends on much more than just the DAC. If you buy new from PS Audio, they have a 30-day hassle free return policy according to their website. You can buy a lot of things with the price difference between Yggdrasil and Directstream. Both units have very enthusiastic owners.

Pairing a $6000 DAC with other components that are nowhere near the same quality isn't going to let your DAC show you its true potential.

My music sounded awful. I realized that the directstream was doing something significant after all. Lots of people have discovered this works better than quick A/B comparisons. You definitely did the right thing by coming back to CA and setting things straight about your experience. johndoe21ro 1 Pareto Audio AMD 7700 Server --> Berkeley Alpha USB --> Jeff Rowland Aeris --> Jeff Rowland 625 S2 --> Focal Utopia 3 Diablos with 2 x Focal Electra SW 1000 BE subs i7-6700K/Windows 10 --> EVGA Nu Audio Card --> Focal CMS50's Link to comment
