If you ask almost any audio expert about value, they will tell you that the middle-priced product in any manufacturer’s product line is usually the best in terms of price/performance/value. Despite this fact, most “mid-priced” products get the least amount of hype or press exposure. The PS Audio DirectStream Junior DAC is a prime example of this phenomenon. Although it has been available for over six months, I’ve seen only a few reviews of what could very well be the best value in PS Audio’s entire DAC lineup.
