Msb dacs why not alot of postings

@lalitk, Don't assume things about me or my capabilities.

But based on the meandering rhetoric in your post, I know your type as well. Suffice to say, your opinion has an audience here assuredly, but none of your opinions cut muster in any objective sense and like I initially mentioned, it's fanboy hyperbolic nonsense. Drivel, even.

BTW here are your own words, from your system description:

"Since then, I have gone through three major upgrades and what you see now it’s my attempt to enjoy that lush, warm and organic sound synonymous with some of the finest tube and solid state components."

"Lush", "warm", "organic", ie, not neutral. You guys always think your systems are highly resolving and transparent because of airy treble, and intakes of breaths, or hands sliding on guitar strings. And that Diana Krall track. Whatever the Diana Krall track is.

Guess what, any moderate system should be capable of those things, and if not, it's not a good system.

I haven't yet heard a single word about what tracks you used, what your listening notes were but I'd assume your comments would be nebulous such as airy treble, blacker background, tighter bass and wider soundstage - when component A was switched to component B.

I haven't asked about anything remotely scientific, just even a nuanced statement such as: this is the test track I used, at 3:05, the high hats ring in a certain way, and it was a lot more discernable with the EMM Labs dac than on the Rockna.

But nope, none of that. Anyway, the point wasn't about downplaying MSB, but comparative lack of MSB reviews vs similarly priced dacs make MSB harder to recommend for blindly buying. Whereas every single dac I mentioned have been well reviewed by respected publications.

No one is saying you cant get at home trials in, unsure about the "chops" comment. I'll ruminate on it while driving my 911 Carrera S.

You must have surely tested your Porsche vs. a KIA.... blind! The only proper way to compare something with another 😂

Based on all the hoopla and excellent measurements I bought the Topping D90 a few months ago. I really, really, really tried to love the DAC, kept it for almost 2 months, but it just didn't click with me. I sold it to a friend who absolutely loves it ... and he has had more expensive, relatively speaking, DACs in the past. I bought an Audio Mirror Tubadour III recently, and it ticks all the boxes for me. To each his own!

“I’ll ruminate on it while driving my 911 Carrera S”

Try not to crash it 😂
