Romy Hi sorry to have wandered off topic, I  am listening at the moment to an MSB Platinum Dac III, hoiping to get the lavry back for comparison, I believe the MSB is multi bit based on a ladder resistor , with 4 24 bit DAc modules,tremendous resolution and texture, have ordered a prism DA2 , narrowly midded a Pacific Microsonics Model II ( the seller didn't want to sell abroad ) hoping to get all four together, MSB recommends AES connection btw, regards Keith.
I do know nothing about MSB Platinum Dac III. Usually Multibits suffer with drift of reference resistors values. lavry atacj the problem with heating the resistors to reference temperatures and recalibrating their values, I believ he does it each 15 minutes sine it reaches stable temperature. I did not know that Prism DA2 is Multibit. Also, I did not know why you or anyone else would need Pacific. People buy Pacific for true Multibit A/D processor not for D/A section.  There is another interesting company that do Multibits:

I never head this machines but it might be interesting to do so. It would be fun if someone have 4-5 Multibits and was able to extract a common characteristic of Multibits sound. I do feel that Multibits might have different relation between the notes and the facts of the notes, the sonic event and the placeholders for snick events. I wish I have more experience on the subject to be able to say anything more defiantly.
