Is it worth buying a PST without a DS DAC?

Thanks Scott. Honestly, I did not expect the PST to sound this good. I have been very happy with my DAC/Streamer for the past year playing ripped CDs and SACDs, so it took me a long time to come around to try the PST.

The CDs played on the PST have a much wider sound stage and each instrument and vocal is much more defined. I have been listening to CDs and then go back and play the ripped version of the same CD on the streamer to believe what I am hearing is real. Even the bass and drums are better.

Congratulations :tada: !
If you have a dac with I2S input, try the hdmi output of the PST. As indicated in the manual, it is the best output, and by far.
