MSB Diamond DAC V

Looking to try a MSB Diamond V Dac with Diamond Power Base Volume Control and Renderer. As a side note I have had the opportunity to enjoy the Lampizator Pacific, Esoteric Grandioso K1 my 2 favorites, DCS Vivaldi, Chord Dave but never tried the MSB. I was told that it's is a must listen to before I pull the ultimate trigger.

Please feel free to comment on your thoughts regarding what i can expect from the MSB Diamond DAC V.

Thanks.

What i can expect from the MSB Diamond DAC V.

Real transparent, dynamic, glare free musical presentation, with great boogie factor. This is what R2R dac’s can do when designed right and used direct into amp/s.
They don’t try to soften everything to make the bad recordings more listenable at the expense of the good recordings like Delta Sigma dacs do.

Cheers George

Spoke to Fred at Lampizator and he says that the Big 7 is the way to go. Ballanced, volume control direct to the amp and call it a day. Its a tempting proposition but afraid it won’t be the Pacific and the other drawback is i love ethernet.
