Msb dacs why not alot of postings

Not following your characterization of the system - "vintage", or your thoughts he could not hear the difference between these DACs in that system? 

Guess I'm all screwed up because I can sure as hell tell how different components , cables, etc. sound in my systems without having to blind test myself. Likewise, I have tube amps in both systems and they don't cloud the assessment.

BTW lalitk - nice system!

" "Once I heard DA2, I could no longer listen to Rockna Signature in my system."

these types of hyperbolic statements are completely meaningless in any logical discourse. What did you hear, what with, what are the comparison notes, how good is your hearing, what was the environment, nothing is mentioned. Par for the course. "
While he didn't specifically state what he liked better about the DA2,  if I understand his post correctly both were in his system, in his room so the "with what", "what environment" are covered; and think he has the "how good is your hearing" covered.

Well my man I'm the only person in my house so when components, cables, etc. get moved in and out guess what - non-blind testing ,  the eyes see what the hands moved/connected and the ears hear - test concluded..

" The MSB may be a marvel of engineering but how much does it differ on the analog output from the Benchmark? In my opinion it isn't so much how we get the result as what is the result."

Seems to me that finding an opportunity to go listen to one for yourself is probably the only way to answer your question  one way or the other to your satisfaction.
