PS Audio Said….
The PS Audio PerfectWave™ DirectStream Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) is a state-of-the-art DAC, preamplifier and media centre. DirectStream accepts PCM as well as DSD Digital Audio data and converts it to high-performance analogue audio that can be fed directly to a power amplifier or preamplifier.
DirectStream represents a major advancement in the art of recreating the musical event. Musical information that may have previously been hidden (or covered up by other DACs) in digital audio media ranging from CDs to high resolution downloads will be uncovered by DirectStream.
Subtle musical details and cues such as upper harmonics, decay, reverb and room reflections will no longer be masked by the conversion process from digital to analogue. Your music will sound natural and you will be able to rediscover much of what you may have been missing in your digital audio library with the introduction of DirectStream into your system.
DirectStream features a unique architecture inside. From its digital inputs to its passive output stage, DirectStream has been handwritten, hand designed and personally voiced by its principal designer, Ted Smith, along with PS Audio CEO Paul McGowan and legendary loudspeaker designer and founder of Infinity Loudspeaker Systems, Arnie Nudell. DirectStream is based on a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) as its core processor and no off-the-shelf DAC chips are used in its design.
DirectStream is less sensitive to the vagaries of input source types and their level of jitter than most DACs made. Remarkably low jitter sensitivity is one of the hallmarks of this design and is accomplished by not using classic edge transition detection techniques used on the digital input data. Instead, a proprietary method of extremely fast sample-and-recognize technology is employed that reduces dependency on cables, jitter and the quality of the incoming data source.
Once the data from the selected digital audio source has been input to DirectStream it is upsampled to ten times the standard DSD rate of 2.8MHz before any processing takes place. After processing by DirectStream all input data is converted to double rate DSD (5.6MHz) and output through a passively filtered analogue section consisting primarily of a high-quality audio output transformer. Elimination of the classic active analogue output stage, with all its difficulties running at these high frequencies, have been implemented with a high quality passive audio transformer.
