  • The DirectStream DAC is PS Audio's reference standard D to A converter. It is unlike any standard chip-based DAC, and has received countless awards, worldwide.
DirectStream is one of the most remarkable DACS ever built as all the major reviewers agree. Hand written, discrete, perfection based conversion that uncovers all the missing information hiding in your digital audio media. CDs, streaming audio, high-resolution PCM or DSD based media are expertly upsampled in the DirectStream to twenty times DSD rate and output as pure analog directly into your amplifier or preamplifier. There has never been a better sounding DAC at anywhere close to the price of DirectStream. It is the first choice of thousands of critical listeners worldwide, and with its ability to accept PS Audio's free Operating System upgrades, will never become obsolete. DESIGN DirectStream converts every input signal, both PCM and DSD, to single-bit, high sample rate 20X DSD signal. Use of a FPGA rather than an off the shelf DAC chip provides immense processing power, resulting in complete lack of digital glare, and allows the owner to download OS updates as they are released. APPLICATION DirectStream is the heart of a reference quality digital audio based system. It handles all PCM sources up to 352.8 kHz, and DSD 64 and 128 (USB and I2S) and DSD256 (I2S only, with the Sunlight OS). Its zero-loss digital volume control allows it to be used as a preamplifier, directly feeding a power amp. Include the Network Bridge to stream Qobuz, Tidal, and Spotify. Roon ready.

PS Audio PMG Signature 512 DAC

£8,995.00
At the heart of the PMG Signature 512 DAC is a breakthrough in digital audio: our PureStream DSD512 engine. Running at a blazing 22MHz, PureStream upsamples any incoming PCM or DSD signal to a native 8X DSD stream—far beyond standard formats and completely free from PCM conversion or decimation. This ultra-high-resolution DSD stream is then passed through our SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer, which time-aligns and refines the signal with surgical precision, lowering noise and distortion while preserving every musical nuance. From there, it flows directly into a simple, elegant analog low-pass filter—no complex conversion stages, just pure music. The 512 doesn’t rely on off-the-shelf DAC chips. This is a custom-designed platform built from the ground up to achieve what no other DAC has: sonic transparency with SINAD better than -100dB and vanishingly low output noise. Multiple ultra-stable reclocking circuits, galvanic isolation between all digital inputs, and full separation between digital and analog sections ensure jitter-free, noise-immune performance. And yes, the PMG Signature 512 also features our renowned Digital Lens technology, ensuring that incoming digital data is perfectly reorganized and reclocked before ever reaching the PureStream engine. Every effort in its design—from input to output—is focused on preserving imaging, tonal richness, and musical truth. One listen, and you’ll know: this is unlike anything you’ve heard before. The PMG Signature 512 DAC is not just a component—it’s a revolution in digital audio.
