    Can’t wait to hear the differences. Would also like to hear if (and how much) burn in on the clock makes a difference.

    Re: MSB Premier arrives as Suncoast Audio

    Roon posted on their Instagram page @roonlabs that MSB DACs are now officially Roon certified and to download new firmware “today” (Dec 30). This is great news because my Premier, running 14.12 shows up in Roon Audio Settings as being “Uncertified”...except there is no new firmware I can find beyond 14.12 which was posted 11/1/18 on the MSB site.

    Am I missing something?

    Reboot your MSB DAC and see what happens. I got the updates on my end. They are pushed through automatically. I haven’t checked the Premier though. This was on the S2.

    So the Select now shows as “Certified” in Roon?

    Re: MSB Premier arrives as Suncoast Audio

    I just turned my Premier DAC on and Roon no longer shows it as being “uncertified”. I didn’t notice anything to suggest anything was downloaded.

    Re: MSB Premier arrives as Suncoast Audio

    The Roon post says “Update your device to the latest firmware to get started,” implying an update action is needed...nice to hear it’s just a reboot.

    Are you still running firmware 14.12 on the DAC? Or did the RendererV2 firmware get auto updated instead?

    Sorry, I am wrong. It still says uncertified in the “Audio” tab in Roon. I am running the latest firmware (14.12) and have rebooted the Premier several times. Wonder if no automatic renderer update is because my MSB is connected (via ethernet) to my Innuos and not directly to my router. Will try.

    Re: MSB Premier arrives as Suncoast Audio

    Didn’t work for me. Connected the MSB renderer directly to my router and waited 20 mins or so with the MSB idle. Still says “uncertified” in Roon.

    Re: MSB Premier arrives as Suncoast Audio

    My S2 certified itself a few days ago but in actuality nothing other than it's logo in Roon has changed...works the same.

    If anything, integration with my iPad hangs a bit now and is slower

    Re: MSB Premier arrives as Suncoast Audio

    There were 40+ updates according to MSB, mostly non-essential code related to Roon.

    I will suggest an update summary be posted on their website.

    I’ll also find out when the Premier and Discrete updates are coming.

    Re: MSB Premier arrives as Suncoast Audio

    Thanks Mike. Am surprised there is still no Renderer 2 manual on the website. I didn’t know it is supposed to automatically update itself. Wonder why it does for the S2 but not the Premier (unless others have found that it does?). If it is a Renderer 2 update and not a firmware update, it should not matter what the MSB model is, no?

    Mike - Recommend MSB to issue “release notes” which is a standard practice for technology companies. Surprised they don’t do that.

    Re: MSB Premier arrives as Suncoast Audio

    My Premier has not updated to be ROON certified as of 8 o'clock this morning. That may be because I have been running 24/7 trying to break in Femto 93 clock. I stopped the music now to allow access and will check when I get home for lunch . Being non certified never seemed to interfere with ROON interface use. Maybe there are certified features I do not know or would care about?

Working with a dealer is great as I can try before I buy. I didn't expect to own an MSB DAC until my dealer almost demanded I try MSB before buying anything else. He was so right.

    Re: MSB Premier arrives as Suncoast Audio

    If you have time when you write the impressions, would you please try to include as many configurations as you can?

    -Base clock vs Femto clock with Discrete PS
    -Base clock w/discrete ps vs base clock Powerbase
    -Femto clock with discrete ps vs Femto clock with Powerbase
    -And maybe an ultimate comparison of the Premier w/base clock/discrete PS vs Femto clock and Powerbase?

    Really, anything you write would be helpful, just a wishlist!

    Thanks!

Working with a dealer is great as I can try before I buy. I didn't expect to own an MSB DAC until my dealer almost demanded I try MSB before buying anything else. He was so right.

    Any news on Roon certification for the Discrete and Premier owners? I am still seeing “Uncertified” in Roon after a few power cycles while/after being on and connected to the Internet for weeks.

    In my auditions, the Premier + mono power supplies is the value point. If you want an upgrade, get the Femto before the Powerbase.
