Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: PS Audio DirectStream DAC - an extremely interesting video.

I suspect that I understand the basis for your excitement - you are hopeful that significantly more satisfying music has been hidden on your CDs these past three decades, and that conversion of all those PCM CDs to DSD is the secret to experiencing that satisfaction. It's the audiophile holy grail of CD playback.

I only would caution you to be careful not to substitute hope for a sufficiently long pre-purchase audition. Optimism about the future bringing better sounds drives most of us I suspect. However, I've learned through past purchase decisions to not let a list of features and technologies, nor specifications, nor published reviews, nor brand name, nor overheated marketing talk make my audio purchase decisions. Those factors help inform what I audition, but it is the audition that decides. If I can't audition, then I do not purchase, especially, when it comes to multi-thousand dollar components.
