RE: Does DSD Direct actually work?

> The PS Audio DAC, is supposed to be fantastic, and I know people who have heard and loved it.

I've heard the PerfectWave DAC II and it sounded exceptional to me, but I haven't heard the Direct Stream DAC. A friend of mine bought and sold three of them so far and never warmed up to its sound quality with DSD files. He told me it sounded very good with PCM but he didn't find it any more impressive with DSD than his Oppo BDP-105. He now owns the Auralic Vega DSD DAC and he says the Vega is the best sounding DSD DAC he has heard to date.

I'm hoping the Mytek Manhattan sounds good because that DAC/Preamp contains just about every feature I want. I'm waiting for a report from another friend who just bought one. I'm very intrigued by the Mytek Manhattan because it seems to have every conceivable digital input in addition to a few analog inputs including a high-end phono stage option.

Best regards,
John Elison
