MSB Diamond DAC V

A question to the Dac Community:

Some have argued to put my money into a better speaker vs a Dac some say that the source is where it all begins and the speakers where they end. On my end considering my room size 12 W x 10 D all around sound and room placement went to Focal Sopra #2 however I do Love Dynaudio Confidence Speakers and may give them a shot in the near future. As for the amplifier I am set With the Plinius A150 Refrence Class A150 WPC Switchable to Class A/B.

Now for my Dac consideration:
Direct to Amp no preamp! streaming needs Sound Quality is #1 for the type of music that I listen to Acoustic Vocals, Blues, Jaz, Rock, to Contemporary to Electronic Techno, Alternative. I do use Tidal, Quobuz, Spotify if available and Media Server Ethernet / NAS Capable a major plus.

My Ultimate Goal is to Best by a noticeable margin my current below setup.

My Current setup:
PS Audio BHK Signature Preamp.
PS Audio Directsteram With Bridge ll

My Choices:
MSB Diamond Dac V
Lampizator Big 7 MKll
DCS Bartok
Lumin X1

Thanks for helping me zero this in :)

There are R2R DACs out there that cost few hundred dollars that don’t even come close in sound quality to high end well implemented Delta Sigma designs.

Don’t you generalize, of course there are, I’m not talking about the cheap R2R junk, that’s when the Delta Sigma’s are the better offerings. But when it’s comes down to the R2R talked about, DS is then a bit of a yawn to listen to in comparison.

What are you recommending?

The MSB 

So you believe that MSB Diamond Dac V  is the pick of the litter over all the others . It was my gut feeling also after everything  read and heard from others.

So tough spending that kind of money 💰 and not having the opportunity to hear it 1st. hand. Oh well, guess I will have to go with my gut and advise from all here in the community.

Now its a matter finding a deal on a Dac V with Diamond Power Base and Render. Keep me posted if anyone out there knows where I can grab one ;)

Thanks!
