    Payment Method: EFT, Cash on Pickup
    Reason for selling: Upgrading

    Boxed and in mint condition. Price is for a single active monitor only. 7 are available from an Atmos studio system that is 2 years old. 

    Moving into a new facility so these must all go. They also make incredible home speakers - I personally think you would need to spend 10x to improve on the sound.

    Neumann floor stands are also available for 6 of the speakers by separate arrangement. The cables run down through them leading to a very tidy but adjustable, heavy duty set-up.

     

    Shipping will be at cost.

  6. Hi George - according to MSB - indeed - you shouldn't need a pre-amp with the Select II. I haven't tried this though (our main rig is Atmos) and I guess it depends on how many sources you have - and if you like the pre to impart something into the sound. I even know of a vinyl lover using the Select II as a pre. It could definitely soften the upgrade cost though for prospective buyers and in all but the best systems - probably benefit the SQ over and above what the DAC contributes. YMMV

    There are a couple of other DACs around this price point that I am curious to try. My expectation is they will disappoint and I will end-up back with the Select II - perhaps adding the digital director next time round. But it's fun to experiment - and I take reviews with a pinch of salt (influencer owners / shills / magazines) at this price point. That's why I was so surprised when I heard the Select II - I approached it with a lot of scepticism only to be blown-away.

    I think that would be my next step with the Premier if the opportunity ever comes up.

     

    I also have a Weiss Medus and I'm still trying to decide which I prefer.

    Personally, I think the upgrade to the next tier-up MSB DAC is the way to go over the DD until perhaps the Reference DAC. Especially if you are using the Pro-USB interface

  9. You're spot-on - which is why I kept both interfaces. The Renderer v2 (ethernet) is extremely (analogue) musical and detailed. The Pro-USB lifts another veil that you wouldn't believe existed - which can sound too detailed on some tracks (i.e. stuff the mastering engineer obviously couldn't hear). I have grown to prefer Pro-USB and just marvel at it every time I listen, but for poorly recorded stuff - the renderer is a less analytical presentation. Sorry we wont get to do a shoot-out (unless you come to Perth....) - I do hold Playback Designs in very high regard. Good luck with the YouTube channel!

  10. Those shoot-outs have ended badly for all the competitors thus far - and also for my wallet.... Have tried very hard to replicate or better the Select II with lower cost DACs and failed. And I wasn't a DAC believer - perhaps read too much ASR over the years. MSB are definitely doing something different. It absolutely wiped the floor with a Rossini Apex and clock. In the same way I came back to the HE1 after a couple of years (sold my first one) - I suspect I will be doing the same with MSB. Adding the Digital Director takes its even further - so there is still an upgrade pathway for buyers

    Genuine Australian Nordost Valhalla II's.

    3 months old.

    Boxed as new with all paperwork and packaging.

    Retail A$17,500

    Less than half price.

    Happy to FaceTime prospective buyers and share original receipt / connect with the Australian dealer who sold them to verify serial number etc.

     

    Reconfiguration of system means I now need 5m versions so these are surplus to requirements.

     

    Thank you for looking.
