I just cannot agree with your comment no more.
I remember I heard a comment from a gentleman a few years back at a Hi Fi show at NYC on digital vs analogue. There is something missing between "0" and "1" on digital format which listener will naturally need some brain work to get them connected for a complete musical passage and that causes fatigue and this is the reason why listener may have a hard time listening music reproduced from digital format. MSB DAC is by far the only gear I can listen thru a whole opera with no stoppage. I got a chance listening to the new generation of MSB Reference a few time, what interested me will be if I should upgrade to Reference or Select which I have not yet have a chance listening.
