MSB has revamped its product line. The Analog DAC is obsolete. The cheapest MSB DAC now is the Discrete DAC at $9,995.00. Base power supply and only Toslink/ SPDIF input. Their best power supply boosts base price up to $17k+. Adding USB adds another $2k+.
So for $20k it better sound good! And the bottom end the Discrete DAC is single ended (like the Analog DAC). MSB balanced DACs start at $20k and add another $10k for best power supply and USB input.
And MSB states that ProUSB module is capable of 1km distance between the USB module and the DAC. I don't know how that works when you plug the module into the DAC. My PC is not capable of driving USB for 1km. Am I missing a point?
"-Virtually limitless in cable lengths (up to 1km) between the USB module and the DAC"
