MSB Diamond IV Select dac

I would try the renderer module first. IMO it has the potential to sound even better. And who needs a computer anyway. NAS + iPad + DAC is all one should need.

If only UPNP control apps were better ....

Ours just landed

And of course, this is one of the 5 pre-production units, so the packaging isn't final either...

Black - nice.

At this price, one would expect the DAC to be delivered in a sturdy flight case. Those cost like $300 per piece to make.

Adam,

Do I need to write this again? These are not final production units, and no one knows what the final product packaging will be. Most likely it won't be a box like that.

Anyway, here's another pic, next to the UMT V Transport/PowerBase.

Has anybody tried the MSB isolation Base?

You mean this ?

A friend of mine did on his Linn Klimax DS (it has a SMPS) and liked it a lot.

I have my doubts about the value for money ratio for this product ... there is just a toroid transformer inside + some potted parts. Doesn't really look like much when you open it. I have opend one up and took some images.

Yup that's the one I am researching

Let's see the pictures!!!

It is a very simple device, with one input and one output:

Inside there is a single toroid transformer, directly connected to AC inlet and AC outlet. There is also some kind of a parallel network (orange and brown wires; on the right). It is hard to tell what it is (a capacitor) since it is potted:
