Msb dacs why not alot of postings

Mmh hmm. So its replaced by "Discrete", still the value proposition of Rockna dacs are very good. Has to compete aganst some very competent dacs in the 4-6K range that are possibly as good. There's basically no point in paying a premium IMO.

 Boy oh boy... these guys know exactly how something sounds without even having to lay hands (or eyes) on something. They just know.

Oh, and for everything out there, there is always something cheaper. Better value? Sure. Especially when the more expensive alternative is out of reach.

For some reason, many people get riled up when expensive gear comes up. Big trigger! Can’t you just ignore unaffordable stuff? So tough? I certainly cannot afford a Ferrari but I don’t spend my time in Ferrari boards telling their owners how much better value my Dodge Durango SXT is

Relax man, I can afford it, not sure why you are so riled about defending a corporation? Go smoke some weed. I actually can afford a Ferrari, but drive a Porsche instead.

“There’s basically no point in paying a premium IMO.”

I chuckle every time someone shows up here advocating value proposition of DAC’s without any A/B comparison. As @thyname pointed out, there is always a better value but to knock a product unless you have a direct experience with, it just goes to show one’s ignorance and arrogance (no offense).

While I have not heard MSB discrete or Premier, I did own Rockna Signature Balanced ($16K). It was no match to my current reference EMM DA2 ($25K). Once I heard DA2, I could no longer listen to Rockna Signature in my system. To me, that next level of musical bliss rendered by DA2 defines the hard to beat value proposition.
