PS Audio P20 vs Denali 6000/S V2?

You had a problem free DMP? I don't think so.

I have relayed my positive experience with my system. You obviously were not there and have no business calling me out about it. Your experiences are yours and my experiences are mine. Mine were positive, yours were not. Sorry they were not the same.

Having said that, I have no intention of going further down the PS Audio bashing rabbit hole you seem to enjoy.
 
The thing is with DMP, the company, by its own admission, decided to start selling it knowing it didn't work properly. That's not me bashing PS Audio, it's PS Audio bashing itself. And rightly so, selling a product to customers that they knew didn't work. To say you had a problem free DMP, when they were all slighted with the same tangled spaghetti software code that, despite several attempts at fixing it, PS Audio never did. If then by some miracle you had a problem free DMP that would be miraculous. Lucky you. And for the record I owned a DMP and I thought it was the biggest piece of junk HiFi audio ever created.
 
I also have owned numerous PS Audio products over the years. Currently have a P20, P10, and a P5, ”Regeneraters”
Only once did I have an issue with one of their products (Stellar phono preamp). They sent me out a replacement immediately.
Quality company and superb customer service.

Cheers....
 
Your mileage can vary depending on where you live. In the US customers are supported by PS Audio directly and by all accounts they seem to be well looked after. Here in Australia they have a very good distributor who deals with issues and looks after its customers well. But in other markets you do hear of horror stories where customers are hung out to dry by the local rep and PS Audio has to intervene. My support experience with them has been extensive, to say the least. No PS Audio product I owned ever worked properly, and everything broke down during the warranty period. Often blamed on not being able to cope with 246V. But that doesn't explain why my DMP arrived DOA which was blamed on a bad software load at the factory. It obviously wasn't tested before shipping. They've sent me parts for out of warranty repairs at no cost a few times so you've got to be happy with that.
 
I have owned a P5, P10, P12, and P20, and now a pair of Shunyata Denali 6000S v2.

I am certainly no engineering expert, but all of the above did and are doing what they are supposed to do.

I have very noisy electricity and borderline high voltage. This is why I started using these products. My goal was not performance improvement per say, but rather simply to eliminate the electrical noise. And all of the products did this. I did notice that the P12 and P20 made my system sound more enjoyable to listen to me, whereas the P5 and P10 just eliminated noise. None of them had a breakdown for me.

The P20 was a fantastic improvement for me, but I never had more than a 40% load on it.

In ultimately switched to Shunyata because I did have breakdowns with other PS Audio products, and I was concerned the same might happen with the P12 and P20. The size and weight of the Ps Audio products was also a factor in the switch.

You may have noticed that I haven’t really mentioned The Denali yet. I don’t think I can add any more superlatives to what has already been said. It works perfectly, takes up less space, and costs less. I would think this is a no brainer for most.

I do believe the PS Audio P20 is a useful product, but the Denali is a better product for me.

Can you elaborate on the sound differences between the P20 and the Denali 6000 v2? You mention cost and size, but didn’t really talk about the sound quality — is there a difference?

Dude. Enough. What’s your issue with PS Audio? I read your BS on their forum too. Paul called you out on spewing nonsense there as well.

+1 on ignore list. These posts add zero value.
