The Prime DAC
With two prime DACs, MSB yield an unprecedented level of detail, reproducing the musicality, soundstage, and texture of an original performance, bringing the artist to you. A fully balanced, ultra-high precision, discrete ladder DAC architecture ensures each note tells a story. Additionally, MSB’s robust in-house design enables the finest quality playback of PCM and native DSD, while the low impedance circuitry drives your amplification directly without adding coloration or buffering noise. The end result is a digital experience defying expectations.
A Display for the Listening Chair
Equipped with high-visibility and a wide viewing angle, the display is both easy-to-read and stunning, exhibiting MSB’s love for intuitive features. The LED display, slaved to the audio clock, is refreshed between data processing to drastically reduce electrical interference. The in-house discrete design is then constructed into its own shielded CNC pocket for optimal isolation. Sit back and be immersed.
Integrated clock. Flexible Configurations.
A modular I/O card keeps even the discrete DAC flexible, repairable, and upgradeable. Along with an integrated clock, changing this card allows switching between single-ended and balanced outputs.
Engaging with the Future
MSB thrives off the innovation required to meet consumer demands. MSB is constantly improving digital input modules to stay at the forefront of the high-end audio industry, ensuring you are always equipped with the most current digital file formats and interfaces. Focusing on the network renderer and USB input, your audio tech will be on the cutting edge. Put simply, your DAC is ready for the future.
A Better USB Solution
The Pro USB was developed to offer a multi part USB solution that features complete electrical isolation and all the performance of MSB’s proprietary Pro ISL input. The Pro USB is offered as a stand alone module for users who already have an MSB DAC that is equipped with a Pro ISL input as well as a starter kit with a Pro ISL input and everything you need to get up and running.
- Complete electrical isolation
- Up to 32 bit – 768kHz
- MQA decoding
- Up to 8 X DSD
- Up to 1km lossless transmission
Superior Streaming
The MSB Renderer was developed using an in-house hardware design running an ultra low noise A5 processor for optimal audio playback performance. Over the air updates will ensure that your renderer always has the latest capabilities and ultimate convenience.
- Up to 32 bit – 768kHz
- MQA decoding
- Roon Endpoint
- Up to 4X DSD
- UPnP Protocol
- DLNA Protocol
The Discrete Power Supply
Superior conversion begins with clean and stable low-noise power. The Discrete Power Supply feeds the DAC with dual low-noise power streams that are linear and independent. That’s not all— the CNC unibody aluminium chassis provides the discrete power supply with optimal thermal performance and an elegant design aesthetic. The DAC comes equipped with a single power supply, but can be augmented with a second discrete power supply to enable optimised power isolation between all major components.
Completely Modular
Paired with performance increases, MSB’s modular design ethos increases flexibility for future updates and product support, guaranteeing a long-term product investment. As you pursue higher levels of playback, an MSB upgrade path is always available to help drive your own desire for innovation. Whether it’s a software update or a leading-edge modular component, we’re here to help the most valued aspect of MSB—their customers.
The MSB Remote
When MSB set out to make the MSB remote, the design was built from the ground up. Stainless steel buttons arrayed around an elegant volume wheel to optimise performance and response. California crafted in-house from an aluminium billet, the enclosure feels solid yet refined. Tailored for both the transport and the DAC’s daily use, the remote brings you closer to the music you love.
Anodized Finishes
Elegant yet commanding, MSB finishes are available in a matte silver or matte black anodize. These products include their in-house designed viton feet, but any audiophile M6X1 foot can be installed to personalise your system.
