Hi, great thread so far!
As I’ve dived down the deep end again into my music system, I currently have an Ares II but also an MSB S202 (way different price ranges but I got an offer to trade in my S201 that I couldn’t pass up!).
Does anyone have experience comparing the Terminator + to MSB Dacs? Does the TP compare with the Direct Dac (I believe the same price range) or even the Premiere? Or is it more of a fair comparison of the TP and Gaia vs the range of MSB dacs?
Considering the Zenith MK III as the server streamer.
You might have already watched this, but in case you have not, the reviewer here mentions MSB DAC's in his review:
One of the big selling points of the Terminator Plus is the ability to engage the clock out feature, to the upstream DDC and the only professional review I have seen using a TPlus/Gaia combo is 6Moons. I wish that some of the reviews out there of the Terminator Plus would use this feature as it brings a very nice further improvement and it is using the TPlus to its full potential. I was shocked by the additional improvement and things were already very good with just the Terminator Plus by itself. I think if the professional reviewers would experiment with upstream clocking, the TPlus would be even more impressed.
