Msb dacs why not alot of postings

Very different sounds I bet.

A similar comparison but in amps would be two different topology amps.

I was eyeing the MSB Analog a while back. The problem is within that range dacs like the Rockna Wavedream, or even the recent Wavelight have received a lot of accolades, and are more modern. Or Chord Dave for instance. Or the Mola Mola Tambaqui, and the recent Holo Audio May which measure just about perfectly. So it’s like having a non delta-sigma dac and with the peace of mind that they also measure extremely well. Comparatively the MSB Analog is a pretty old design by this point. I am sure it sounds good however. The issue is the value proposition has increased a lot with many of the newer r2r and hybrid dacs.

MSB Analog is an old, previous model. Not current. For current MSB models visit their website @nitesomething

Mmh hmm. So its replaced by "Discrete", still the value proposition of Rockna dacs are very good. Has to compete aganst some very competent dacs in the 4-6K range that are possibly as good. There's basically no point in paying a premium IMO.

 Boy oh boy... these guys know exactly how something sounds without even having to lay hands (or eyes) on something. They just know.

Oh, and for everything out there, there is always something cheaper. Better value? Sure. Especially when the more expensive alternative is out of reach.

For some reason, many people get riled up when expensive gear comes up. Big trigger! Can’t you just ignore unaffordable stuff? So tough? I certainly cannot afford a Ferrari but I don’t spend my time in Ferrari boards telling their owners how much better value my Dodge Durango SXT is
