MSB Diamond DAC V

Looking to try a MSB Diamond V Dac with Diamond Power Base Volume Control and Renderer. As a side note I have had the opportunity to enjoy the Lampizator Pacific, Esoteric Grandioso K1 my 2 favorites, DCS Vivaldi, Chord Dave but never tried the MSB. I was told that it's is a must listen to before I pull the ultimate trigger.

Please feel free to comment on your thoughts regarding what i can expect from the MSB Diamond DAC V.

Thanks.

I was just told the new MSB Premier dac with PB is even better sounding than the Diamond V with PB and it’s cheaper as well.

Where you are you can call Suncoast MSB dealer in Florida.

Vince would most probably send you one... hence my ?????
Or even give Vince Galbo a bell at MSB see what he can do for you.

Cheers George

I would say look at the dCS Bartok first, and I am a MSB owner......

For the features it has, ease of use, fantastic sound quality, that can be adjusted with filter settings, dCS known track record for meaningful software updates, can be upgraded via Rossini Clock latter, and the superb OS for streaming is simply second to none for the price.

It makes sense to listen to those above that have experience living with the MSB before anyone else who has not actually owned the units you are considering.

He mentioned the Ideon Absolute in his first post.

"Personally, I wouldn’t be buying anything at that price level without an audition..."

Best advice so far.
