    Great. Look forward to your thoughts. Would be great if you could post some videos as your recent ones have been great. If you happen to have Bill Frisell's Good Dog Happy Man CD then would love to hear a recording of Shenandoah played or any track from Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions. Many thanks. Enjoy.

    I’ll be looking at MSB later this year when their new line comes out, along with a few others. They appear to be issuing some nice pieces at better price points

    Re: MSB Reference Transport Inbound!

    You probably meant optical fiber cable, not laser optical cables (no such a thing).

    What MSB uses looks like an optical fiber cable with LC connectors. These are widely used in networking:

    The communication system is a laser source with a single mode fiber optic cable specific for laser wavelength transmission. It can run a kilometer and still be bit perfect. The system employs a robust MSB designed error correction system that is absolutely bit perfect.

    I believe the entire unit is based on Oppo 203/205. That makes it pretty difficult, in my opinion, to justify the price.

    IMO, Oppo will not affect MSB moving forward, can’t speak for the past other then they are proven to be reliable

    The whole drive is the OPPO 103 The electronics for the rest of the player are MSB ah MSB and the other components they used.

    ITs like some other goods, some stuff comes from china, some stuff comes from Japan, some stuff comes from Mexico and then everything is put together in the USA. The end result is what counts.
