I don't think Elberoth had the Analog DAC.
You are welcome.
Elberoth compared the MSB $45k DAC against the totaldac d1, if I am not mistaken. I am sure you will let me know if I am.
http://www.audioaficionado.org/mbl-dcs-goldmund-gryphon-etc/17906-msb-analog-dac.htmlHe definitely auditioned other MSB DAC models than the top of the line Diamond. If this also included the analog I don't recall.

That is a total annoyance don't you think.
I felt MSB Analog has more attack, but Totaldac D-1 Dual more balanced. Analog plays brass beautifully while Totaldac makes Woodwind vivid in your face.
Hi john,
You compared msb analog a) with powerebase or with the standard brick b) via usb? It makes a big difference..
Thank you very much
I listen to Analog with its standard power not the better powerbase and via AES not usb. I would say Analog is a very good dac that I've heard of. But maybe due to the synergy with the amplifier, ASR Luna 6, and speaker, Marten Django, I felt Totaldac is a little more balanced. IMHO.
John, may I ask you was you mean ezactly with more "balanced"?
Thank you!
