Hi Folks,

i have a directstream DAC and have been wanting to compare these 2 dacs. If anyone has heard them both, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

 

cheers,

For those who might find it interesting, I've posted full measurements of the Wavedream signature balanced and the Wavedream NET

 

Both the DAC and NET are on latest firmware.

I have the WaveDream Net coming, I’m excited,..GoldenOne have you had a chance of listening to an English brand Melco Audio their flagship line ? The fellow I bought the Rockna Net from told me he bought a Melco streamer / server to replace the Net with ,,.

I used to own the PS Audio and am going receive one on trade later this week.  I am a Rockna dealer.  I have been doing an relatively serious compare of about a dozen DACs recently.  

 

The PS Audio is very nice but is soft sounding based on my memory of it.  The Rockna is much crisper and better controlled.  There is nothing soft about its sound but it is also not cold or digital. The Signature in particular is elite in terms of its accuracy and detail while maintaining a massive soundstage.  It only gets better when you add the NET server as the clocking is perfectly synchronized.

 

My initial reaction to hearing the signature was like someone mated a PS Audio DSD and a Chord Dave and you got the best of both DACs with all the bad removed.
