The PS Audio DirectStream DAC MK2 is a groundbreaking Digital to Analogue Converter that represents the pinnacle of audio technology. Building on the legacy of the PerfectWave DirectStream, the MK2 offers hand-crafted, discrete, galvanically isolated conversion through its innovative use of twin FPGAs. Designed to deliver unparalleled sound quality, it uniquely outputs true analog from PCM, DSD, and high-resolution sources, preserving the nuances typically lost in digital processing. With built-in volume and balance control, the unit integrates seamlessly with any audio system. Its high sample rate upsampling and immunity to jitter ensure that listeners experience the fullest depth and resolution of their digital audio media. The DirectStream DAC MK2 continues the tradition of excellence that has made its predecessor a favorite among audio enthusiasts worldwide.
