MSB Nelson DAC Link III, got pictures?

Does anyone have pictures of MSB DAC Link III and/or MSB Nelson DAC Link III? I wish to compare the internal PC board of the stock Link and the Nelson upgraded Link. I just bought what should be a half Nelson and would like to find out what has been upgraded to the board.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I've taken a few pictures of my Link DAC, if anyone could tell me which version it is or if it has any upgrades that'd be great!

Thanks ramstl for you input. BTW, is ramstl = St Louis Rams?

Here's the link to the pictures:

Uwloian: This may be a stupid question but I couldn't see the transformer in your pictures.

the Link DAC III has an outboard power supply, kinda like a laptop power adapter. You can also connect the link through a powerbase power module sold by MSB.

I just realize that you have to purchase an external power supply for the msb dac.

I'm not sure but this unit seems to be missing stuff. First, there is no upsampling switch on the back and has an optical instead of an AES in. Also, the internals appear to be missing a board, which contains much of the upsampling chips and jumpers. I'm at work and I am going by my memory on this last part.

I would call MSB up directly and confirm what unit you actually have. My thoughts are that you have a first generation MSB Link but I could be wrong.

BTW yes, it stands for the Rams!
