What happened to the DirectStream Junior?

I love love love my Junior!

I tend to gravitate towards your endorsements. And what works out well for me is I cant afford most of them so a win win!

I learn 100% and occasionally own. The forum has led me to Jr., Accuphase, Eversolo, Rose, Audience and other items like cables I never knew I needed.

JR is a great DAC, pound for pound my favorite PSA piece

@roninaudio
I noticed a p 4200 on TMR! Monoblocks anyone?

Best,

I saw that! Been there a few weeks now. I thought about it believe me. Cant imagine a need for more power but the want is there.

I think i can solve my pre search pretty easily between Ayre, ARC etc. That amp may stick around a bit. I should ask if its consignment. I bet it is…

Just got the latest Stereophile Mag. A great writeup on the FR5 speakers. And products of the year.
Oddly, Accuphase won the amp competition. Something called a Grimm MU2 was co-winner in the Streamer and or DAC category, and The Degritter won as well. Eversolo was mentioned as well. Some company called Wilson won the speaker and overall product of the year award.

No mention of Gryphon or Stealth Audio. Sigh.

But I’ll tell you, if anyone sees a PS AUDIO DSD Jr. available at or near $1000, snap it up. You never know when you could put one to good use.

Ah ha! Accuphase won the amp award! Probably not my exact model lol but definitely same DNA! That is cool to know…thank you.

I grabbed a Jr for about 800.00. Killer deal and sounds great. Hopefully for a few more years.

Wow. They actually paired FR30s with Accuphase. Interesting. The Class A stuff
