@pdreher i have no intention of getting rid of the Roon Nucleus+. Thanks for the feedback.
Anyone have experience with MSB Technology products compared to dCS?
Looking for feedback from users who have experience with MSB Technology Discrete or Premier DAC. I currently have have a Lumin T2 and looking to upgrade to either the MSB with an Aurender N20 or the dCS Rossini Apex.
Currently have a Roon Nucleus Nucleus+ and NAS drive by Synology DS918+ connected to Lumin T2. I have found that using the Lumin app directly versus going through Roon produces significantly better soundstage and SQ.
If I go with with MSB I need to also purchase an Aurender N20 (or something similar) or if I go with dCS I connect as I currently have my Lumin T2 setup.
My 2 channel system setup is as follows: connections are transparent Reference power cords and XLR interconnects and speaker wire, preamp is an Audio Research Reference 6SE and Amplifier is an Audio Research Ref 160S with Wilson Audio Alexia speakers and 2 REL S812 subs, one for each channel. Primary music is jazz, classical, rock in that order.
Would appreciate any feedback from current or prior users on the experience or recommendations.
Thanks for your input.

@divertiti Great Feedback! Curious how you have your MSB connected to your system. I was told in order to connect I would need to get something like an Aurender N10. Thanks! Woots |
@hgeifman @thyname Thank you for your feedback. I had the chance to listen to a lot of dacs today and felt like the MSB was the most impressive. Learned a lot about connections and options to get the best sound out of the the dac. I was very impressed with the Innuous and MSB combination. We listened with both and ethernet connection as well as usb and the usb connection provided the most amazing sound. I’ll write more about connections later can confirm that everything matters including cabling and cords. At least based on what I heard and saw today it was. One thing I will say about dacs is that MSB has the opportunity to really grow in the marketplace but they need a significantly better connection between their website and the dealer network. Very difficult to find a dealer even if you are looking. woots |
