My mistake, Marc. Yes, very much looking forward to hearing Mike’s apples to apples comparison. Wondering if some of the relative flatness in MSB’s presentation is the Select or a performance...

Mike, if I understand correctly, the Taiko was feeding the MSB and the Wadax server the Wadax? Will you eventually be comparing both DACs fed by the same server? Providing feedback on this apples to...

Thanks La Dolce Vita & Ken!

La Dolce Vita, have you experimented with different audiophile switch configurations and/or USB reclocking before / after the N30SA’s signal path? If you have, that...

Hi All and Happy Thanksgiving to those of us who are stateside. Just to catch everyone up, I decided to pull the trigger on the N30SA. This was based on a number of conversations I had with those...

Thanks La Dolce Vita. Indeed it sounds like I posted a rhetorical question! Knowing what you know now having lived with both models, would you now rather own two W20SEs if you could do it all over...

Hi La Dolce Vita, et al,

I’m down to the short strokes of deciding between the N30SA and the W20SE to feed my MSB Select DAC. Will likely decide in the next 24 hours. Mike’s been helpful in...

Thanks Ken. You make a good point about volume control from the iPad, of which neither the Pro USB/ISL provide, but the Render module does. That would be missed.

Thanks Ken! Once upon a time I owned a full MSB Diamond IV+ Stack with the UMT+ and separate signature power base...I should have kept it! Are you using the USB output of the Nucleus+ into the...

Thanks Ken. I too own the MSB Select with separate power bases and am using the MSB network renderer module as my Roon endpoint...or more specifically: QNAP Server running Roon Sever > Commercial...

Thanks Calvin

La Dolce Vita,

Thanks for your quick feedback. As I don't have much need for a LED, and in fact enjoy listening in a dim environment, I'm prioritizing sonics. Subject to your guidance, I surmise...

Has anyone had an opportunity to compare the sonic differences between these two models? Aurender doesn't declare which model is the current flagship, but instead states that they are both at the...

Hi Mike…Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Clearly having had the opportunity to demo both servers in the same room and with identical hardware back to back makes your assessment in credibly helpful....

Thanks Mike. As always, I appreciate your help and thoughtful answers. I think for now, I'm be happy with my Select serving as both a preamp and DAC. Plus, at this juncture, I only have room for...

Hi Folks,

I'm a happy owner of the MSB Select II w/ dual mono power bases and and MSB S202 amp (the latter I purchased from Mike). I run Roon via a remote qnap server that connects via fiber to...

Thanks...on occasion I've seen them listed for sale on audiogon. I currently own an ARC REF Phono 10, however, with some recent configuration changes, I need a one chassis phono stage (of comparable...

If so, please private message me.

Thanks,

Hi Sharkmouth

I wish I could offer you some specific feedback, but I introduced the LH USB into my system as I was doing a complete cable overhaul/speaker upgrade in my system. When I get back...

Thanks Adam. This is very helpful feedback. After speaking with Gideon it was my sense that the import duties likely make the Trinity a much more expensive piece in the US. As good as the Trinity...

Merry Christmas, Adam!

I spoke to Gideon at Audio Arts re the Trinity DAC. He was very helpful and at some point I intend on arranging a demo, as it sounds like a very special piece. He did...

Adam, would you mind sending me a PM? Would like to better understand what the street price on the Trinity would likely be in USDs. I need to make a game time decision this weekend on whether I...

Adam,

I was literally going to place an order for the full MSB Diamond stack on Monday with the Diamond DAC and Power Base, UMT+ and Dual Signature Transport Power Base. When you compared the...

Hi, this message goes out to those of you who own the REF10 and are/were former REF5SE owners. I'm currently using a REF5SE but am considering upgrading to the REF10. As you went from the 5SE to the...

Ha! Thanks for the warm welcome Etunes!

I had a few guys who I trust really well recommend the REF 75. I doubt that trading down from the 250s would be the right decision for all speakers, but at...

Mike,

I responded to your PM. However, my message didn't appear in my sent box. If you didn't receive it, please let me know.

Thanks,
