Can Any MSB Premier Dac Owners Chime In???

Greetings, My system consists of Joseph Audio Pearl 20/20 Speakers (graphene midrange) Classe' CA M600 Monoblocks, Classe' Sigma SSP Pre (only used in 2 channel bypass mode) PS Audio Directstream Dac and Memory Player...6 Furutech Dedicated circuits, Cardas Cabling...All Furutech Power cables....I think that's it? If we ever get back to normal I will Demo a MSB Premier Dac...Any MSB Premier Dac owners that can share their experience about this unit? The Directstream is a very good Dac, I'm looking for more detail...Thanks...John

LOL!!! That's funny!

I could not afford the Premier, so I got the Discrete (one level down, half of the MsRP of the Premier). With the optional second discrete power supply and the ProISL USB module.

I am very happy with the Discrete, and to tell you the truth, since I bought it about a year ago, for the first time I feel zero interest in trying other DACs. Before that, I had owned about a dozen other DACs, including your PS Audio DSD.

I have a MSB The Premier DAC, basic set up only - only 1x Discrete Power Supply and using coax input, XLR out direct into active ATC speakers. 
Now almost up to 200 hours break in, I “think” it has improved a bit since I posted my last thoughts on it. More detail and the soundstage has opened up further. Still slightly recessed vocals & the bass is not that deep/punchy, but it’s better than before.

Give me another few days and I’ll add another update.
