MSB Sentinel

[Mike]

Thanks Mike. I'm using an Innuos Zenith MKIII (?) I'm old, so it's easy to forget which version!) server/streamer and Phoenix as inputs to the MSB. It works for me!

Cool.

Any reason not to redouble the amount of components in the Sentinel DAC and create the MSB Zenith?

Nope! Great idea.

doubling sounds a little poor regarding that from cascade to sentinel is 4x the stuff (8 vs 32 dac modules..)
so at the top one would like true fat....you would go for 4 times 4 times more......so 16x 32 moduls resulting somewhere around 500 dac modules. Or leave the mathematic to the poor and go straight for 1001 and call it neom.

Might run a little warm but why not!

I had a quick look in the Adelphi in Singapore today. The MSB dealer has Cascade on display. They have already sold three Sentinel's. But they had absolutely no interest in demo'ing the Cascade for me, I guess I didn't look rich enough.

Too bad! The Cascade is a fantastic DAC.

Did they know you live in Australia?

No. They had no other customers in the store. The salesman was just sitting there looking bored. It would have been no effort to turn it on and press play. In Australia no store would have a DAC like this on display in a show room.

That is just a terrible representation of MSB and whatever else they sell.

 

[brodricj]

They were representing some nice gear. MSB, Marten and YG speakers, all on demo in the show room. But as a non-Asian and possibly obvious tourist might be why they wouldn't give me the time of day let alone turn some stuff on.
