MSB Gold dac Question???


Hello All,
I have a question about the MSB gold dac I have. I am new to this so please help me with this. When I turn on my system sometimes I forget to turn on the MSB but when I do should I hear a difference in the sound of the music??? Because it sound the same if the dac is on or off. Is this right?? please let me know. Thanks

How are you getting any sound at all if the dac is off? Are you using a CDP as a transport? Please describe how you're system is configured, perhaps it's not even in the chain.
I have a proceed cdd transport going into the msb dac. The blue light is always on for the dac but the other lights on the dac are not until I turn the switch on it the back. and it sounds the same with the switch off or on should you notice a difference?
Not being an MSB owner I can't tell you what the other led's are for, but if you're hearing music you have it hooked up correctly and have the right input selected. That should mean the dac is sounding essentially as it should. The other led's probably indicate some sort of status, i.e. upsampling, hdcd, de-emphasis, etc. Some of these should make a difference in sound quality, but you should consult you owners manual and other MSB owners out here and at AA. Good luck!
