Thank you and thank you for watching. Well, I was until the price went up! An MSB Discrete is now $12,500. So if you can splurge a bit more, than yes, MSB Discrete with your N20 is FANTASTIC. You would most definitely want the second PSU...

I’m wondering if we can see Lumin come out with a replacement for the S1. Maybe something that isn’t Sabre based? Maybe something different like a R2R DAC. What’s the latest Wolfson like? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I don’t agree since the Alpha 2D’s work optimally at 500hz (not sure how that’s “bass” in their definition). But at least, as you said, you can move them if they don’t work out well. I think you’ll find a midrange suck out and find you have to...
