Thanks, I understand. An incredible amount of work.

This is one of those situations that I understand and sympathize with. There is also love for the ill-fated display and - separate from, but allied to that - the touchscreen. Not to mention the firmware and so on. But, as you mention above, if I may interpolate - there is beautiful sound, and there is beautiful functionality.

Sorta depends on your inclinations and experience (time invested in this case) with a given product.

My guess is that touchscreen was a source of warranty issues for PS Audio over the years. Makes sense for them to want to move on from it, but I can see where users really liked it.

Before I moved to Boulder and met him, I thought ā€œjameshā€ was an Indian dude.:pray:t2:

Then I was, ā€œOh - James H.ā€ :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Jamesh, until 1 1/2 years ago, I thought he was Irish due to spelling. I preferred my mistake and pronounced Jamesh in a poorly Americanized Irish accent; but have since moved on to James. James does sound urban- Colorado, does it not? :grin:

Darren looks like he could stand in for Dave Grohl.

That is cool James. So frustrated to live in South America, in a very dodgy, poorly run country where importing a PST (as well as sending you guys my 230 volts DMP) would cost a fortune, no, two fortunes :frowning:

I need a vacational house somewhere in Colorado, I just need one if anything to become a true bon vivant.

Is the drawer grinding on the PST still an issue?

I havenā€™t heard about any in a good while. The standoff adjustments have gotten better and testing requirements have gotten more strict as well.

Okay. Thanks

The PST looks really interesting but after dropping considerably more $ on a McIntosh MCD 600 SACD/CD player a couple of years ago, Iā€™m respectfully wondering if the PST would yield improved performance. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. (The PST would be connected to my DS jr via I2S.)
