We are an authorized MSB dealer, selling a customer trade-in Analog DAC with Volume Control, and Analog Power Base.  Digital inputs include Pro I2S (optimal input for MSB Transport users) and USB.
This unit is in excellent condition, save for a few small scratches on the top of the power supply, likely the result of contact with the spikes on the DAC when being stacked on the PS (in photo).  Top plate Power Base scratches will be undetectable if the DAC is stacked on the Power Base, as us customary.
The MSB Analog DAC was designed to set the standard as the bang-for-the -buck MSB DAC.  It offered a large taste of high-end DAC-IV and later DAC-V at a fraction of the cost.  This unit includes the Analog Volume Control which allows the DAC to be used as a preamp, thus eliminating the need for a preamp and associated cables.  Analog output is balanced.
The Analog DAC can continue to be further upgraded with plug-in modules such as a MQA USB and MSB's Network Audio Renderer. 

If you are reading this ad, you are likely well aware of the favorable press that the Analog DAC has garnered over the years. 

Jon Iverson's review of the Analog DAC concluded with the following: "I started to write up more musical examples, but realized I was just repeating myself. Every comparison with the DACs
mentioned above, and a handful of others that passed through my system
in the past several months, yielded the same results: a more focused
sound with the MSB, coupled with the ability to match the best qualities
of any other DAC in the hot seat. There was simply more there there."
Vade Forrester of TAS raised and answered the obvious question when concluding his review: "So does the Analog DAC sound like, well, an analog DAC?  Maybe it does, if you can find an analog source as free from noise and distortion as the Analog DAC and if your idea of a quality analog source excludes any coloration from tubes or solid-state gain stages."
As noted, we are an authorized MSB dealer and would be glad to discuss additional upgrades at the time of purchase for this unit. Thanks for looking and feel free to call with questions.
