MSB released a new DAC, the Analog DAC. Obviously nobody can have already listened to it, but does anyone know whether it has to be considered the new top of the line or the entry level?
Price seems to be cheaper than the Platinum Signature IV, I say "seems" as if you want the matching power supply, rather than a computer standard supply, you need to add almost $3K
The most interesting thing is that it seems to include the femptosecond control clock. The optional Galaxy clock in the Platinum IV is $9K by itself so, if included (maybe in an easier realization) this could make this DAC a piece of gear to crave for...
They also contemplate an analog volume control for preamp bypass.
