Unique Features and Unprecedented Performance

MSB has been making high-end audio players for over 15 years. The latest is a new audio player that plays SACD and DVD Audio discs, DTS CDs, CDs, MP3s and just about any disc sized music source. It has 24 bit 192k DACs, 192k MSB upsampling, MSB-built volume

controlled analog outputs with a pass-through, as well as all the latest digital outputs including Firewire (IEEE 1394), 24 bit 192k MSB
Network standard optical and coaxial outputs. It is the player for music lovers - enjoy the
music in every disc format.
Just for audiophiles?		Display	AMPs
Not a chance. Why should home theater enthusiasts compromise video performance for

The strongest feature of this player is its unique ability to be integrated into the most	Super DVD Audio Player

In the most simple case, the player is a complete multi-channel system. Add amplifiers and
speakers and you have a full 8 channel surround system that will play back all the current
music and movie formats. It includes two remote controls, a simple one for volume and play and a complex one for programming and total
control.
A second application is as an upgrade product for an existing home theater. The Player	Existing		Display	AMPs
includes a master volume control and trims and has a complete audio and video pass-through.	System
This means it can be installed into any existing system with separate amplifiers (or integrated
system with external input) with no re-configuration or loss of features. You have just added	Video	Audio	Video	Audio
a player that will play almost anything, and a much higher quality volume control to your
	In	In	Out	Out
system. Simple and fast with big results.

Another way to expand is to take advantage of the comprehensive 24 bit 192K digital audio outputs. External DACs can be added for any channels and they can be played back through a high-quality audiophile DAC and outboard volume control that can be slaved to the Players volume control. For example, a high-end balanced DAC and volume control can be added to

the front channels for uncompromised audio only playback yet movies can be enjoyed without any system changes.

The Preamp Upgrade

The Super DVD Audio Player has just one 8 channel analog input. It is designed to be the last component in your system before the amplifiers. With its low impedance output it can drive long interconnects and handle any type of amplifier input stage design with optimum performance.

If you have a complex system with a preamp with many analog inputs, attach the outputs of your preamp to the input on the SDVDA Player. Set your preamp to a volume that matches the SDVDA output and use nothing but the SDVDA volume control in your system.

The concept of burn-in is little understood. Does it take your ears some time to get used to the incredibly detailed and life like sound of an MSB product or is something actually changing? The feedback we receive leads us to recommend at least 100 hours of burn-in on the DACs in this unit. Customers generally recommend one month.
