Optimized Audio Processing. Superior Isolation.
Increased Isolation and Performance
In keeping with MSB’s core design principles, the Digital Director seamlessly supports and augments all current DACs. Two-way communication between the Digital Director and the DAC enables seamless input selection and system settings on a single display and control. By outsourcing digital input modules to the Digital Director, the DAC becomes a dedicated conversion engine while the Digital Director manages and isolates all incoming noise. Plus, MSB’s proprietary ProISL laser fiber optic connection eliminates noise coupling into the DAC, elevating all digital audio sources to new heights.
Authentic Reconstruction
MSB’s Prime and Hybrid DAC modules signaled a gigantic leap forward in accurate and realistic audio reproduction. In order to push MSB’s audio technology even further, the Digital Director uses two high performance DSPs, each capable of sustaining 12 billion operations per second that work in tandem with two dedicated FPGAs. This is more than 4x the processing power currently available in the DACs onboard processors, extending the life of new and existing DACs well into the future. But that’s not all: advanced new digital filters, born from decades of research and development, ensure MSB’s DACs offer a superior authentic reconstruction of the original analog signal. This allows for a more expansive soundstage, and more beautiful textures from complex performances such as massed horns, vocals, close mic’d piano, large ensembles, and full orchestras. What emerges is the most natural and emotional presentation MSB has ever created.
Premier CNC Billet Chassis
Starting with a 42lb plate of ‘Kaiser Select Precision Plate’, the chassis is machined in MSB’s own in-house CNC shop. After more than six hours of machining, more than half of the aluminium is removed, resulting in a 11lb finished product. The integration of their CNC shop allows for design optimization, creating the best possible product. MSB uses premium ‘Select’ metal, giving them the highest quality anodized finishes on the market.
Anodized Finishes
Elegant yet commanding, these finishes are available in a matte silver or matte black anodize. MSB’s products include their in-house designed viton feet, but any audiophile M6X1 foot can be installed to personalize your system.
