Msb dacs why not alot of postings

From Dow Jones: “equate performance to price.... is nonsense”

This is the most dumbass statement I have ever heard. 

Listening to everything side by side isn't as simple as snapping a finger in the current climate. Some assessments can also be made by looking at measurements (if you are one of those measurements don't matter people - don't even talk to me) as well as reading reviews for sound impressions. Measurements for both Mola Mola Tambaqui (which is more expensive than the base MSB BTW) as well as the Holo May are available from independent sources. Rockna designer also actually worked at MSB, he was a designer who worked on developing their discrete r2r chips. I am not making a judgement on MSB's sound quality but pointing out at the 10K to 20K range, there are many other options to look at as well. Chord Dave is in that range and is pretty much universally praised. Haven't read any bad reviews of Rockna dacs either. Of course a potential buyer should compare as much as possible and then decide.

"Once I heard DA2, I could no longer listen to Rockna Signature in my system."

these types of hyperbolic statements are completely meaningless in any logical discourse. What did you hear, what with, what are the comparison notes, how good is your hearing, what was the environment, nothing is mentioned. Par for the course.

Measurements.... hmmmm. Topping China DAC has great measurements as well. Measures perfect on the entire “audible range” spectrum. So, who in the right mind will spend thousands in a Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC, or Rockna, or Holo Audio, when same measurements (read: SQ) can be achieved with a couple of hundred dollars? Asking for a friend 😉

While he didn't specifically state what he liked better about the DA2,  if I understand his post correctly both were in his system, in his room so the "with what", "what environment" are covered; and think he has the "how good is your hearing" covered.

BTW lalitk - nice system!
