Offered is „PS Audio DirectStream DAC/Streamer – HiFiWERKSTATT hoer-wege upgrade Erleben Sie Musik, wie sie gemeint ist.“ by PS Audio as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2707787748 ends on 19.10.2026 at 11:40 o'clock.
This one sits in a respected spot in PS Audio’s digital lineup, and €2,500 looks like a strong buy against the recent used EUR market. With a median of €3,798 and a 25th percentile of €2,218, it lands comfortably below typical asking levels while staying close enough to the lower band to feel sensibly priced rather than suspiciously cheap.
That makes it attractive for anyone wanting a serious DAC with a well-earned reputation for smooth, expansive, non-fatiguing sound and strong long-term value. At this price, the main upside is getting a high-end digital front end without paying median money; just confirm the usual essentials for a mature DAC like remote, original packaging, and clean functionality, and it reads more like an opportunity than a gamble.

PS Audio, a pioneering American hi-fi brand, traces its roots to 1973 when co-founder Paul McGowan launched the company in California alongside Stan Warren. Emerging from the analog golden age, it debuted with a standalone phono preamplifier, reflecting McGowan's early passion for vinyl playback honed through radio station connections and encounters with audio enthusiasts. The brand quickly evolved, embracing digital audio in the 1980s by releasing one of the first high-end CD players, the PS Audio CD-1, soon after Philips and Sony introduced the format.
Today, PS Audio specializes in premium electronics, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and integrated amplifiers, with a hallmark focus on power conditioning via innovative AC regenerators known as Power Plants. These devices, born from Stan Warren's mid-1980s discovery that oversized transformers enhance audio performance, remain a cornerstone. The lineup also encompasses digital lenses for refining streaming and disc playback, alongside select analog components, though it eschews speakers, headphones, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, PS Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its bold engineering and unwavering pursuit of musical purity. Celebrating 50 years in 2023, it occupies a niche as an innovator rather than a mass-market player, appealing to buyers who prioritize transformative power delivery and digital refinement in sophisticated systems.
