You should try both of them at your home. Let your ears judge.

Ok just didn't know if there was a consensus. I assume it also depends on your player/streamer so the mac mini via USB might not win over the renderer but an Innuos via USB might. I wish they had an SFP renderer to get network straight from my network switch. But it sounds like Gigafoilv4 might provide good isolation. |
Discrete owner here. For sure two Discrete PSU over one. I added the second one a few months later and was floored by the improvements. Hard to justify the $7k cost of the power base with the Discrete. At that point it's too close to the cost of the Premier to justify, unless your dealer has a generous upgrade policy. Love my Discrete! Compared to dCS Bartok, Lumin X1, and Mola Mola Tambaqui I owned, it's the clear winner for me. @creditingkarma I use the Renderer and am going to have to try the Gigafoil now! |
@eugene81 I agree with you on the discrete. I moved from bartok to the discrete Dac and found the move to be for the better. As far as upgrade policies go MSB actually has a great upgrade policy. They give you back 100% of retail towards the new upgrade. |
@creditingkarma Wow, that is a great upgrade policy, so maybe it's worth going with the Powerbase for Discrete if you're planning to stay with MSB and upgrade. |
