MSB Analog DAC, One of Agon now. I was a Dealer for them for the past few years and have experienced there range and tested them Well.
I would try to avoid Tube Dacs, If you want the Tube Sound Go for a Solid state DAC, Mated to a very high end tube Pre-amp and Power Amp. This combination works better and well balanced.
Tubes in Dacs are probably better of directly connected to a Power Amp. I have had the Golden Gate against the MSB Diamond and Anlog. All are good dacs but the Lampizator does not really sound that Real, its tonal balance is tubyness to the extent its not actually Real. Yet a lot of people do prefer this sound so it all comes down to personal taste. As for myself as much I think Lampizator are good Dacs it is not my personal Fav.
There is a massive cult following the Lampizator Dacs. have a look at Allnic DHT, again I feel some of these designers are masking the Digital side effects with Tubes MSB does spend a lot of its money in R&D and has so far built some very good Dacs. Just don’t fall for that scam, the more you pay the better it gets. I have experienced this firsthand many times.
