New MSB Palisade DAC
MSB just introduced a new DAC-the Palisade. Video on MSB website. Its a two box solution available later this year. Fills a price gap in MSB's lineup between the Premier and the $95k Cascade. The bad news is that it will still be very expensive at MSRP of $59.5. The good news is that no one is required to buy it, so no reason to be upset by the price.
Interesting that MSB says the Palisade is sonically superior to the more expensive Cascade due to new technology which will be trickled up to the Cascade and the even more expensive Sentinel.
Wadax is introducing a new DAC at the Vienna show as well. Interesting times.

@frank009 I have no idea what you are asking. Maybe you should clarify. But no, I don’t know anyone who is using it since it is a product that was just announced in Vienna in the last few days. |
@kerrybh Well I was thinking about it, and did some research. Given what I’ve read about it - downsides are related to Linear-Phase Artifacts (which is a real thing). And can manifest as pre-ringing and a different transient character than what we’re accustomed to hearing from analog-sounding digital front ends. In other words, a very "clean and polished sound" but not a "I’m there in real life" sound. That specific sound is much easier to receive on analog set ups with high end turntables... where the sound manifests in a more realistic manner. I have NOT heard this device yet but may get a chance soon now that you peaked my interest. I won’t make any determinations about it yet. |
