This is a serious DAC, and kr25,000 lands well below the SEK median of kr37,950 and also under the 25th percentile of kr14,882? Actually, using your ground truth, it sits above the 25th percentile and well below the median, so it reads as a solidly attractive buy rather than a steal. Against the recent SEK market, the price looks fair-to-good and comfortably on the buyer’s side.
What makes it worth chasing is the DirectStream’s reputation for a big, relaxed, highly resolving presentation with excellent depth and smoothness, especially if you value musical flow over etched detail. At this price, the main upside is simply getting into a respected flagship-class DAC without paying top-of-market money; just verify firmware status, remote, and included packaging if you care about resale and convenience.

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.
