Anyone heard the MSB Link "Nelson Upgrade"?

208.198.64.6

Posted by Nigel C on March 17, 2000 at 13:03:51

I have an MSB Link II and was contemplating the upsampling upgrade. Then in looking at all the Link II upgrade options in MSB's website, I wonder whether the Nelson Upgrade (upgraded components throughout the signal path etc) with upsampling would be a good idea; this is the option which gives you most back for your Link II as they swap it out for a new Link III, then do the upgrade. However, this now costs $684, or $984 with the recommended upgraded power supply.........at which point I start thinking of alternatives being the Bel Canto DAC1 for $1295, or EVS Millenium for $650 (+ expected $200 extra for upsampling later). What to do??? At the moment I'm inclined to just wait and listen for more opinions on the relative merits of these options. Another consideration though is whether I'd be "over-DACing" my transport, which is currently a Cambridge CD6 run through a Monarchy DIP Mk II. Sorry for the long ramble, but any thoughts?

Thanks,

Nigel C
