Msb dacs why not alot of postings

really expensive stuff getting less interest makes all the sense in the world, especially when the pricing is out of reach of most that might be interested - whether the item is better or not is only of tangential relevance

smaller audience deeming relevant to them

shdn't be any surprise or amazement

more people discuss porsches than bugattis

Vonsifered is my word of the day! :)

Th MSB Discrete DAC is expensive.  I looked at the MSB Discrete DAC but everything thing was an extra cost option (USB, AES/EBU, power supply, etc,).   There is the base price of the Discrete DAC PLUS extra costs for the Optical/Coaxial modules, the balanced XLR module, (AES/EBU), the MSB UUB Inputs, the MSB Network Renderer V2 and the MSB ProISL Interface.  

Yikes, I thought I was finished and then the issue of power supplies was discussed.  The standard is the single Discrete power supply but they STRONGLY recommended a 2nd Discrete power supply.  AND, for even BETTER sound, I should purchase the Premier Powerbase for another $7,500.  

I never heard the MSB Discrete DAC because it costs more than I wanted to spend.  Their higher end DAC's are even more expensive.  

Not sure where you were looking @hgeifman but the Discrete DAC comes standard with:

Digital Inputs:

1x RCA Coaxial
1x XLR
1x Word-Sync
2x Toslink
2x Advanced isolated input module slots

And ... XLR Analog Outputs (comes standard with them)

It also comes standard with one (outboard) Discrete power supply. The second one is extra if you opt for it to separate the power for the digital and analog boards.

I know. Because I own one

@thyname,  Thanks for the information.  When I priced out the MBS Discrete DAC, they said the options I wanted were extra costs.  In any case, I understand what you are saying.  Thanks.
