That’s super! I am really looking forward to all of the reviews this weekend.
Just got a FedEx update that says MKII arrives by end of day tomorrow vice Saturday.
I just put my order in - now the wait begins. I’ve really enjoyed the soon to be traded-in MKI so it will be interesting to hear what the MKII sounds like in my system. It will also be interesting to see what happens to the used market for the MKI.
Mine still says processing, but again it was on the 23rd. Given the holiday I get it. But I was really hoping for this week shipping.
Haha I’m with you.
Wondering if I can break the refresh email button on my phone .
Weather exception from Fedex Weather looks pretty nice in CO from what I see…
Few inches of snow here last night…
Thinking about tempting fate and going to my storage unit to grab the MK1 box…lol
@spacedghost Happy Cake Day!
Congrats! And, welcome to the club/forum.
Happy Cake Day @spacedghost! You are three!
Congratulations! I think you are going to be very happy with the MKII. It’s a big upgrade.
Thanks. I don’t feel a day over two
just thinking ,I love the sound of my system is the 4K cost from MK1 TO MK11 going to give me that
much of a upgrade pre cost, I have DS TRANSPORT WITH A MK1 a TUBE PRE and TUBE AMPS
mono great soundstage
Does this mean they ran out beforeni got my order in? I am going to have to wait?
“ Thanks for choosing PS Audio! I’ve processed the order for your DirectStream DAC MK2 Silver which will be hand-built for your order. When the FedEx driver scans your package, you’ll be sent an automatic email from them containing your tracking information.”
Guessing that was just an automated response. Hopefully you get the tracking number tomorrow.
Reflecting on all of the comments I have read since the beginning of the beta, and can remember , the overarching response has been that the MKII is a major upgrade over the MKI in pretty much every way. Soundstage, instrument realism, space around instruments, pace, and a silkiness in the mids that’s very obvious with voices.
I don’t think I’ve read one negative comment on the sound quality.
I have same combo…it’s great
The MKII really delivers on the best sources. The DS modded was more forgiving of digital sources of the 80 s when they were still giving wrong vinyl eq on digital sources.
I am still coming to terms with how the MKII addresses early digital sources. Be ready to swap cables and fuses to come to terms with the 179 Altero firmware. It can get very bright and very forward.
Alas, last reported at Paxico, KS at 12:19 am - about 18 hours away. The snow done me in! But it is on its way!
Just got my shipping info… Scheduled for Tuesday…can’t wait.
