RE: TAS Spencer Holbert's Shameful Admission.

DACs are kind of like computers with their being viewed as obsolete if the chip doesn't process XYZ flavour of the month source. It's so passe if it's not 32 bit 384 DSD capable. And by the very fact that it can't process XYZ means it gets a failing grade - CD players can't get Class A+ due to them not being "up to date."

Most reviewers at the magazines should have some sort of link (Staff page) where you can read the gear that we own. So if he owns the DAC he compared you should be able to track down which DAC he felt got trounced.

Also, it is important to note a couple of things. One, the fact that the older DAC got beat - may only be beaten in his system.

On the other hand a comparison review doesn't really hurt the manufacturers.

MSB is doing just fine in spite of enjoythemusic.com's comparison review of two DACs. If you want the no holds barred comparison you can read Steven Rochlin's review.
