ikhuong Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Item Condition: Very good Shipping Options: Pickup available and you can audition.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Telopea State: NSW Payment Method: Paypay (as friend or 3% on top for fee), EFT, Cash on Pickup Reason for selling: Climbing up to a next MSB ladder Further information: This is the first step if you want to climb to MSB world, the king of digital playback in hiend audio at this time. Although it is "entry level" in MSB world but a giant to other DAC manufactures on the market, you name it. It inherits all the future-ready architecture, you can utilise/purchase modular modules which are shared in the Reference or Select DACs What special about this DAC? - MSB proprietary ladder DAC with fully balanced design and 2 x Prime DAC - Full thick CNC aluminium block to block EMI/RFI between each critical sections extremely well. - Dual power supplies which are two full block of CNC aluminium, one PSU powers digital section, one PSU powers analog section with fully shielded DC cables. - Network Renderer v2 is designed for Roon user from the ground up, it has galvanic isolation (opto isolator) to help the streaming module to effective immunise to any upstream noise/current leakage. - The implementation of SPDIF on their onboard/included manufacture option are top-notch, its sound great and consistent across all the input (AES/EBU, Coaxia and Optical) - You have access to MSB world-class customer service, for instance: 24-48 hour email response from technical support, normally CCed their CEO( Jonathan) if you have a concern, so you are peace in mind your problem will be resolved. How does it sound? - I came from Chord Hugo TT2 , comparing with TT2+Mscaller+Sonore optical Rendu, this MSB DAC with its streaming module beats the Chord stack in every single way, many times worth for extra bucks. - People always say MSB DAC sounds analog, it is so true with Discrete DAC, it is miles better the analog system I owned ( Rega P9, Ortofon Cadenza Blue and Cyrus phono signature/psx-r2) which is around 13k rrp combined. So I sold my vinyl system without much thought required. - The vocal and singers voices are the most standout verus TT2+Mscaller The DAC were purchased From MSB Distributor (Audio Fidelity/SGR Corp), has transferable warranty until Jan 2023. I have full original boxes and all invoices. Warranty transfer can be done from my end by contacting distributor. https://www.audiofidelity.com.au/msb-technology-starts-shipping-new-discrete-dac/ Retailed prices: total $20,050 MSB Discrete DAC with default modules (AES, optical, Coxial) (rrp 14,850) MSB Nework Renderer (rrp 3000) MSB 2nd Power supply (rrp 2200) Photos: PLEASE READ If you are advertising multiple items, you must post one bulk price only, or post seperate ads for each item If you include any reference to pricing whatsoever in this section (excluding RRP), your ad will not be approved If you don't include photographs of the actual item being sold, your ad will not be approved Below photos are borrowed from the Internet to show its state of art design, world-class build quality and beauty Edited December 1, 2020 by ikhuong 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
