PS Audio to release the all new DirectStream DAC

PS Audio have announced the introduction of their revolutionary new DirectStream DAC, the result of lead designer Ted Smith’s decade-long obsession with DSD.

PS Audio claims that most modern DACs mask recorded details due to a faulth PCM decoding process and that to extract all the detail within PCM recordings requires an altogether new processing method – something revolutionary. PS Audio claims that their new DirectStream DAC is the revolutionary solution that finally reveals these buried details within PCM-based digital recordings.

DirectStream converts all digital inputs, including PCM, to pure 1-bit DSD and in doing so, PS Audio states that the PCM feed becomes more linear and less edgy. The result is that never-before-heard musical details are revealed.

The secret is supposedly in the simplicity of the solution – as shown in the diagram above. The top is a block diagram shows one of the most respected PCM-based processors, the ESS Sabre DAC. While the lower diagram shows the simplicity of the PS DirectStream DAC. PS Audio explains that current PCM processors mask subtle details becuase of the complexity, multiple clocks, power supplies and IC limitations. PS Audio’s DirectStream is a totally new approach to processing digital signals.
