The main feature of the device is its three—block design, which includes digital cascades with outputs, an analog path with outputs, and a power supply unit. All components are located in different buildings. Thus, their negative influence on each other is practically eliminated. Communication between the enclosures is provided using the Cascade Link optical interface.

    Msb Technology The Premier DAC

    Unlike most DACs from other manufacturers, the MSB Premier DAC can play DSD streams both in native form (while the hybrid volume control function is disabled), and after converting DSD to PCM, the DSD playback method is selected in the menu. This is an important advantage of MSB models, because in the process of converting DSD to PCM, certain advantages of DSD are eliminated.

    DACs

    Msb Technology The Discrete DAC

    The MSB Discrete DAC modular multi-bit digital-to-analog converter provides the highest quality playback of CD, audio files and DSD streams thanks to universal hybrid R-2R arrays with ultra-precise resistors, resolution depth (32 bits) and high clock frequency (3072 kHz).
