I would guess that those are the DC power rails. When you think that you’ve seen it all one is even more surprised, definitely audio porn. 🤪 ---

“High-current, dual polarity, ultra low impedance copper bus-bars distribute both power supply input current and signal output current, virtually eliminating intra-circuit EMI signal contamination, greatly reducing internal wiring, while increasing circuit board rigidity.” …yeah that. ---

That is one amazing amp Vince. Are you going to get the matching preamp at some point? Have you listened to that combo? ---

I haven’t heard the Pre. I am not interested in it. I prefer a Pre with tubes, I like the flexibility tubes bring to my systems . I have been considering a Audio Research 6 SE. But time will tell. ---

I totally agree with a tubed Pre with solid state amp. I have always liked Audio Research but am very happy with the BHK Pre right now. ---

Very interesting shots of DS2 guts. Thanks for posting. My current dacs (Ruby SACD, Edge NQ) that each retail for about half (or less) of DS2 retail, but I’m in the market over next year or so: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/a/2/a2cd61c178f1cd2a7ad9c41b73d077e7d42c5051.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/d/c/dcb28ca6efce12a32e7a84151979633f868e1872.jpeg) [Previous page](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/just-curious-are-there-any-pictures-of-the-inside-of-ds-mk2-production-unit-i-m-not-taking-mine-apart-to-see-inside/31697.md?page=1)
