My stereo system consists of Audio Research Reference 6 with PS Audio BHK Monos.

I also run an Audio Research Reference 3 phono with an Acoustic Signature Thunder/TA5000 12/Kiseki PurpleHeartNS and WandMaster 12 with Sumiko Pearwood Celebration.

Digital is PS Audio DirectStream DAC with the Memory Transport and Bridge II for streaming.

I think if you don’t need SACD playback and stream DSD files, I’d suggest one of the following
A. dCS Bartok with built in streamer and up sampler
B. A streamer like an Auralic Aries G2.1 or CAPS with Chord MScaler and Chord DAVE/Hugo TT2.

I think both sound better than the PS Audio. But I stuck with PS Audio because I wanted a disc transport.

I’ve got an EMM Labs XDS1 (first version) which doesn’t have USB input and while it sounds really good, I reckon the Chord, DS DAC and Bartok have surpassed it.
