“DSJ is a technological wonder that builds on the same architecture awarded Product of the Year in both Stereophile and TAS, Darko Knock-Out award, Editors' Choice and Golden Ear awards. DSJ is an extraordinary performance instrument–handwritten and uncompromised–a pure DSD Digital to Analog Converter uncovering all the missing information long hidden in your audio library, from both PCM and DSD sources. CD's, high-resolution PCM, or DSD based media, are expertly upsampled to twenty times DSD rate and output as pure analog directly into your amplifier or preamplifier. DSJ is one of the few, true, fully analog DSD devices, that's setting the industry on its ear and reshaping the landscape of music and high-end audio. Now, full MQA, Tidal (including Masters), Spotify, Qobuz, VTuner and Roon ready.” Many positive reviews available on-line including this one from Home Theater Review:

Conclusion (from the Steven Stone review)
“Buying a DAC is tricky. It's far too easy to find yourself with something that doesn't do everything you'd like it to do. The DirectStream Junior can handle virtually any wired digital input and format and can also serve as a preamplifier. The only features that are missing are wireless input capabilities and internal MQA decoding; but, if you use the Junior DAC connected to a computer, the computer can supply the wireless connections and even do MQA decoding from the TIDAL streaming app.
Anyone who has been considering the PS Audio DirectStream DAC because of its sound and features might also want to look at the DirectStream Junior. If I had to go out on a limb, I'd say the DirectStream Junior offers 90 percent of the performance and functionality of the original DirectStream. It is simply that good. Then you can apply your savings toward the new PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player ...” The DirectStream DAC will include the remote control, power cord and be shipped in the OEM packaging to ensure safe arrival.
