Not saying the PS Audio Directstream sounds bad...never heard it actually; however, I have heard other FPGA based DACs, as well as countless Sigma/delta DACS and I will stand with my "old school" Burr Brown PCM1704 24 bit R2R DAC with tube output stage...sounds more like the real thing than other digital solutions I have heard.
