I certainly had no intention of sounding luke-warm about it. I have very little pride in my own gear...I have it to reproduce music and get enjoyment from that, not the individual components as much. Often it works out, sometimes less than others. My speakers are imperfect, as is my amp and preamp, cables etc...and this DAC is as well most certainly is. My Squeezebox is probably the most perfect for what it is ;)I grow weary of reading most reviews, primarily the individual owner reviews, which almost always emote experiences as being "blown away", "jaw dropped", "astounded", "stunned" etc... It is hard to separate out the pride of ownership from real useful information. I am curious why TAS didn’t spend much more time reviewing this piece and look forward to reading a longer, in-depth, comparative review hopefully contrasting others in the price range(Lavry, Benchmark, Aqvox, etc…). I will say that I am enjoying music much more through the PS than my prior DAC, in almost every way, and am happy with the purchase.
If you do purchase, make sure to burn in before hand...at least 3 days before seriously listening.....its sounds pretty bad out the shoots.
