Proud new owner of the MSB Discrete DAC with dual Discrete power supplies! Sounds fabulous!

Question: have any of you upgraded the umbilical power cords that go from the Discrete PS to the DAC? The stock cables look crappy to me.

Thanks!

I haven’t tried, but I would imagine you could. I wonder if AQ makes anything that would work? Need to look.

Does anyone know if getting after market umbilical DC power cords voids the MSB warranty?

I use a Revelation umbilical on my Cary SLP-05 with very good results. It is a popular upgrade among 05 owners.

I have the Revelation Audio umbilical cord for MSB DACs and I believe I was the first one to order this from him. The first time the cable wasn’t done right and one conduit just fell off in a mere twist. The promised replacement cable took 5 months and many email inquiries went unanswered. The cable itself could be a slight improvement, I’m not sure yet.

I did find his umbilical cord for Pass preamps an improvement over stock when I had my XP-20.

Update: almost a month after I ordered and paid for my umbilical cords from Revelation, he has yet to ship them to me. He promised 10 day turnaround. We are now at four weeks and counting. All kinds of excuses and lies. A tracking number was emailed to me a week ago, but “package “ yet to be dropped in the mail.

I will give it a few more days, then off to calling my credit card for a refund

See if Ghent Cable can help if all else fails and you change your mind - I bought DC Cables and a long run Ethernet, amazing quality and reasonably priced

I ordered umbilical cord from revelation audio for my msb dac IV plus recently.

He shipped to me within 1 week from ordering.

I reached out to him a while back when I was looking to purchase these cords. He emailed me back asking me for the connectors' specs / type, which I didn't have. MSB is strictly against getting after market cables, as it voids the warranty they told me, and did not give me the specs

Something doesn’t sound right with a cable voiding the warranty...

Moot point now. I never got the cables, and just filed a claim with my credit card company for a refund.
