Thank you Mark.

Now, back to our regular scheduled programming....
 
Wondering whether any of you guys know which msb was used in the Absolare room in Munich? Perhaps a diamond dac V? Either way, I felt it got despatched by the Kodo Beat TT by a long, long way. Presumably the select is much better than the diamond?
 
That vinyl was sounding damn sweet on that video - bit of Rachmaninov always goes down well with me.

I can't ID msb gear by sight as I am not close enough to it - perhaps the msb guys will know?

Thanks Peter. Your videos are a great asset for our feeble minds.

Thanks for the video Peter. Those are the old style MSB fins so it is likely a DAC IV but that style is still available as an option on the DAC V so it is hard to tell from the video.

I was going to ask the Moderator(as) to rename this thread from MSB Select DAC, but it gone in so many directions I don't know what you would change it to.

As long as Norman is around, all DAC threads will turn to Lampi talk.

I came in a bit late and Vince had probably already covered that point. I believe it was the 33 version of the clock but not the final version. During another session I was in another room talking with Larry who indicated this was still a pre-production unit. Production units will sound better as he had just given instructions to upgrade the transformers on the first run of 50 units.

This raises a question for me. How many $90,000 Dacs are sold. 50 is $2.75 million in sales (assuming retail price less 25% discount (pulling that number from my head) and 25% dealer commission type fees (same head idea)). A lot of revenue on 50 DACs, but is 50 a realistic sales number? Boutique audio products are a hard sell, and to find 50 people to spend more than the average price of a house in many cities in the US seems pretty hard. That said, I would love to hear it.
 
sfox,

During Larry's introductory "tour" of the SELECT in Europe and Asia, they sold 47 units.

That's why they're doing a 50 unit initial production run.

Keep an eye out, as MSB is going to do more dealer events, introducing the SELECT to different markets in the US.

Larry indicated he has deposits on about half of the 50 lot run.
 
Very impressive (whether 25 units or 47 units). It is an area I don't play in. I have a modest setup and love how it sounds. I cannot fathom such a DAC. One day I may hear it, but I know I will never get one, even if it is the greatest piece of equipment I have ever heard. I guess I could win the lottery. If I bought a ticket.
