Jetter What’s with you?? anti MSB, because that’s what it looks like. READ!!! He (the OP) said "I am going to look for either a Lampi Pacific or a MSB Diamond Dac V with all the goodies on the secondary market."I’m showing him a good one on Audiogon. Butt out!! Correct, I have no financial interests as I’m also in Australia and definitely NOT an MSB agent. But I do believe they are the front runners and always have been of R2R discrete dacs, others follow, and yes I do own one. And here it is again for the OP https://www.audiogon.com/listings?q=msb just to get up your nose once more. |
Hello Gentlemen, Thank you all for your input, trust me i need all the help I can get when it comes to Dacs. I honestly hate buying them. I can pull the trigger all fmday long on amps, preamps and speakers but when it comes to dacs i clam up since everyone builds the best secret sauce dac and the marketing sometimes gets a bit overwhelming. I can tell you that my most impressive moment was listening to the Esoteric Grandioso K1 with a ARC Ref 10, 5se 6 etc and then The Lampizator Pacific dac direct to amp. Those 2 floored me but mostly the Lampizator Pacific gaining the edge in ztotal musicality. I believe @gregm mentioned the Ideone Absolute dac and a comparison to the Lampizator Pacific. Now I must tell you you jusymt don't bring a knife to a gun fight especially from a company i have never heard of. Well he got my attention!!! I did some investigating and a few people out there are saying the same thing regarding its comparison to the Lampizator Pacific. So i decided to check into them and on paper I must say it's the similar build quality of the Esoteric K1 D1,D1X which are insane to say the least. The absolute dac spec look actually superior by a long shot weighing in at 65lbs. I challenge all in this lost to read up in them. Thank you for your your suggestions and all will be considered but not without me doing a once over on the Ideon Absolute Dac. Stay tuned. |
