MSB DAC's Popularity


Hello All,

I would appreciate some insight on the above. I'm in the market for a DAC with volume control and am exploring the Discrete or Premier. I question the lack of reviews and even dialog on AGon? The limited reviews that appear portray stellar performers; however, not many exist on the used market. Are they so good that no one sells? Or, is the price/performance not commensurate and nobody buys? I do love the future-proofing built into their designs! Could you please share your experiences with those who own or have auditioned? I'm looking for an end-game product, if that is even possible in digital. 

Thanks!

I no longer own MSB. I used to own the entry level, the Discrete. Excellent DAC in its price range.

One thing to know for sure, the customer service from MSB, especially from Vince Galbo is outstanding, top notch.

What is meant by internal rendering when it comes to a Dac?

The “rendering” is an internal streaming module. A streamer built in the DAC. Think of it as a network bridge, a streamer (fed by Ethernet cable), but in a modular form, that you can insert into the DAC. In simplified terms, the MSB DAC has a slot, where you can insert their removable/ swappable modules, such as the Ethernet streaming module (the renderer), the USB B input module, and so on. I hope this helps
