New MSB Cascade DAC

[Solecky]

Sadly, I’ve been away and haven’t had a chance to seriously sit down and listen. Hopefully this weekend or next.

Any updated impressions on the cascade?

It’s a really nice DAC. Great “solidity and stability” without being artificially illuminated (which gets confused for solidity like too much contrast or an incorrect black point in a photograph). Precise but at the same time not fatigue inducing. I’m spending more time enjoying the music than I am critiquing the DAC, which is new for me.

I’m feeding it with an Antipodes via both USB and AES
