Replaces select 2
Premier plus DD closes the gap. That’s the thinking.

Sounds interesting. I may have to perform another A/B in my system to see if it surpasses the Select. The way it shows up on the MSB site it "appears" to fall between the Select and Premier.

I know this is hard to comprehend, but it’s new tech and far exceeds the Select II with the digital director today.
Price?
Less expensive by nearly 50% of that previous combo.
$95k MSRP.

Mines on order! Can’t wait!
MSB kept their current tech for nearly 10 years! An eternity of great sound especially for digital.
Now they turn the page.
Very exciting to read this announcement today.

I agree with Mike. A very interesting country. The area around the Akita Prefecture in northern Japan was beautiful and historically interesting to visit. A good way to spend a long weekend when on business.

Agreed on the new series.
Never could get into the older series.
One of the reasons I like the newer series is Hiroyuki Sanadai's performance. I remember first seeing him in The Last Samurai.

Thanks, Adam.
As always, your experience and expertise for these products is very helpful. I've found exactly what you've stated and can power my Akasa NUC with a 12V power supply, as well. Agree with all your points.
Cheers.

According to the Roon website it takes a 19 volt power supply. Also those LHY PS from AliExpress are grey market and have no warranty. There is a US Distributor in Texas with full warranty and free shipping.

It’s only needed if the power supply it’s connected to is a SMPS. If you’re using a LPS, it’s not required.

It’s both, but their strength is DSD (SACD). They still dominate by a country mile for SACD (which is DSD on a disc).
In my opinion….
Best DAC’s for DSD:
