MSB System
Although the UMT can be used with any DAC there are special features that can only be enjoyed with an MSB DAC. The big limitation
is the standard S/PDIF digital audio output format. Is is limited to 24 bits. The MSB ProI2S which is used to connect the UMT to an
MSB DAC is limited to 32 bits, so extra resolution is provided with the MSB DAC. The UMT also communicates DSD directly to the
DAC when an SACD is played. This resolution comes into play with sources like SACD and multichannel DTS and Dolby Digital HD
Blu-ray discs.
With the fantastic detail of the DAC IV, we recommend not using an external preamp, but taking advantage of the passive stepped attenuator
option in the DAC IV. With no preamp to muddy the signal, the amp is presented with an amazingly detailed signal.
Also please consider one of the MSB Amps, also optimized for the speed and accuracy of the MSB DAC.
Here is the back panel of an MSB DAC. Note the ProI2S input on the DAC (Green Ring). This special input can be connected to the
UMT ProI2S output and this connection will not only transfer data bit perfectly, but will do it without any ground connection, PLUS
the low jitter clock in the DAC will be sent to the UMT, and the UMT will operate in sync with the DAC clock.
This connection is made with an MSB Network cable or any CAT-5 or CAT-6 cable. The connection will not work with CAT-7 or
shielded cables.
The S201 is a Class A 200 Watt Stereo Amplifier, perfectly matched to reveal all the detail of the MSB DAC.
