We received one of those a while ago, but only today I was able to get a good listen. And OMG!!!
Going from Select to Ref to this, the lineage is clear. The immediacy, the naturalness, the smoothness, all there!
Since the Reference is here, I could go back and forth, and also between the power supply options in the Premier.
If I had to nitpick, and compare, the Premier lacks a touch of the "sharpness" of the Reference. My guess is that going with the upgraded clock on the Premier would put the Premier much closer to the Reference in this aspect.
Another killer product from MSB! Now, gotta check the $10k Discrete DAC!
cheers,
Alex
