MSB DAC's Popularity

Hello All,

I would appreciate some insight on the above. I'm in the market for a DAC with volume control and am exploring the Discrete or Premier. I question the lack of reviews and even dialog on AGon? The limited reviews that appear portray stellar performers; however, not many exist on the used market. Are they so good that no one sells? Or, is the price/performance not commensurate and nobody buys? I do love the future-proofing built into their designs! Could you please share your experiences with those who own or have auditioned? I'm looking for an end-game product, if that is even possible in digital. 

Thanks!

@eugene81 Couldn’t have said it better myself...

@jeffreyw Any good MSB dealer will give you an MSB home audition. If they won’t, move on. If there’s no dealer near you, if you contact the MSB distributor, they’ll hook you up. You should listen yourself, in your own system. Enjoy the process.

I've had an MSB Analog DAC for about 8 or 9 years - it's a ladder DAC with a volume control, and it's excellent and has never had a problem - I was running it directly into my MSB Power Amp, and that sounded good, but when I put a Herron Audio line preamp between them, WOW, what an improvement! Currently I'm using the MSB DAC in my headphone system, and I've got a Holo May DAC for the 2-channel...

Vince Gallo at MSB will be happy to talk to you about any and all things MSB!
