MSB DAC IV or dCS Paganini


I've recently auditioned the MSB DAC DAC IV signature and found it pretty amazing in its analog and musical presentation, which was clearly superior to my dCS Puccini. I'm wondering if some of you have compared the more expensive dCS set, the paganini to MSB DAC IV.

I have been considering the dcs debussy for cd's, dvd's and sat radio. Anyone have excperiance using dac with sat radio and dvd's(blu-ray)? Big improvement? Not much at all? At some point I would use for a computor based system. thanks
I output the digital from my Oppo BDP and from my Esoteric UX1 to my Boulder DAC and find it exceptional. I also have tried the HDMI digital into my Denon AVPA1 and that works fine for movies and, of course, provides multiple channel output and subwoofer control. I think the Blu Ray into DAC is an excellent and simplified solution worth considering. DVDs are improved relative to most players (my UX1 is very good); given the bitrate, the sound quality and picture are noticeably inferior to Blu Ray. With movies and in multichannel, if what is on screen is compelling, I don't pay any attention to the sound quality per se, just the effects and dialog clarity.
Guys,,

I have purchased MSB DIAMOND IV DAC +Transport late 2011 and replaced my MPS-5 with it... ! it is simply amazing! . Especially when listening to the piano and violins,, it will give you goose bumps !

If money is not in the equation , I will truly recommend this DAC to any of my friends and audiophiles.

It is that good ! ,, you have to really hear it to believe it ( but one thing I did notice is that you really need a good preamp as well to really show the quality of the MSB,,,,
Jacksonkuo - which MSB transport did you get - the Data CD IV or the UMT? Also, did you get the optional clock module for the Diamond Dac?

Thanks
