MSB select II vs all dacs ?


Wherever I read I see unanimous praise for the MSB Select II. Of course this DAC is super pricey and out of the reach of many (including me). I wanted to know for anyone who has heard it have you also heard a DAC that approached it in sonic performance? One name that was thrown around by a few people I know is the  Rockna Wavedream. Anyone make that comparison?

“The only true way for the end user to know what they prefer is through listening in their own system.”

+1, @ricred1.

Your experience with Rockna coincide with mine. I had bought the Signature version and as good as this DAC is, it wasn’t the right ‘fit’ for my listening preferences and overall system synergy.
“Personally we have A/B 76 different digital front ends.”

@worldwidewholesales, 

Is the number 76 comes from your life long exposure to digital front ends or direct comparison with Rockna DAC?

We would love to see your top 10 A/B comparisons with Rockna. Why not start a thread that details your impression about Rockna Sig vs other 9 DAC’s that are currently available and competing in $20-$5K range? 

Cheers! 
I wholeheartedly agree with ‘prominence on the source / network server’ part. That’s why my Aurender N10 is been the reference for over 5 plus years. There isn’t anything else out there that I seek or desire anymore.

I couldn’t have asked for a better digital streaming setup than N10 + EMM Labs DA2.

My experience with Bob - worldwidewholesales is very similar to yours. He reminds of used car salesman back in 90’s, just like them he would make up lies or say anything in order to close a deal to his advantage.
