Assemblage 3.1 or MSB platinum

Have heard the platinum in a friend's system, but am unable to audition the 3.1 unless I buy one. Maybe that's what I'll have to do. Was hoping someone could give me an idea of how the 3.1 compares to the best out there, and if possible to the msb platinum. Thanks.

Assemblage 3.1 or MSB platinum
Both are great R2R multibit dacs, and the best way to convert PCM Redbook 16/44, 24/96 or DXD.

The Assemblage 3.1 uses the last and best chip form R2R converter the PCM1704 with the best HDCD filter the PMD200, great combination if done right.

The MSB Platinum uses discrete R2R multibit dacs and their own programmable filter, also very very good.

If this were me and I had the choice without an a/b comparison, I would go with the MSB Platinum.

Cheers George
