Hi guys. I will soon have the following options.
Air Lens direct to Stellar Strata mk2 via I2S
Or
Air Lens to DSD DAC mk1 to the Strata mk2.
I will be able to test both out myself but was wondering what your predictions might be.
OK. I will bite.
My prediction is Airlens to Stellar Strata MK2 via I2S will be better.

First we need details on the platform they will be sitting on and the special feet used. Also your astrological sign. I am a Gemini/Cancer cusp so I lean towards the MK1 DSD Sr.

No special feet involved but my $10,000 power cables will be elevated and aligned with the earth’s geomagnetic fields.

Does the room have any kind of incense?

When listening on spring equinox, 20th of March, everything will sound better!
Joking aside, I only have a Stellar mk2 and unfortunately no Airless nor a DSD DAC. Though these all are designed and made by PSaudio so I would expect a similar sound signature. I believe I saw a remark (from Paul?) somewhere that the Strata mk2 internal DAC wasn’t miles away from the DSD DAC mk1. On the other hand, these two DAC differ in technology, so I would expect some differences…
I’m curious about the results of your test though
