Should have it here Tuesday along with the Pro ISL module and Laser Optical Cables.

The show is Thursday. Two days of burn in.

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 believe they also just announced their Select Transport with pictures and details to follow.
 
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

On loan from MSB for Thursday’s event at the store. The gorgeous new Reference Transport. Sounding awesome!

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.

I emailed my rep last night. The transport mechanism is just one part. Everything else is built by MSB, including the new PRO ISL cable, power supply, etc.

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