MSB Network input Module (BLACK FRONT)
This is an improved version of the classic MSB Network. It will work with all existing MSB Network
outputs on all current and older products. This input is designed specially as the best possible input for the
MSB Universal Media Transport. It has the performance of the stock MSB Network without the coupling
of ground noise. With this input our transports will give the best possible results. It will work with the
following:
Data CD IV
Universal Media Transport
all older MSB products
It has 32 bit capability at up to 384 kHz. MSB Network Channel Select - The MSB Network supports 4
stereo channels of audio. Custom modules can be ordered to decode any of the 4 sets.
PRO I2S input Module (GREEN FRONT)
The MSB PRO I2S is new and offers amazing performance on new transports as they are brought to market.
It is lower jitter and higher speed (ready for 768 kHz music) than the MSB Network. It contains 20 channels
of audio of 768 kHz, 32 bit in the I2S format, as well as a an outgoing clock and control data. These can be
used to send multichannel data as would be required with digital crossovers, distribute independent super
precision clocks and do auto setup of DAC parameters. Future upgrades and products will allow MSB
products to take full advantage of these new capabilities. There is an PRO I2S output on our Studio 384
kHz, 32 bit ADC and this output will become the standard output on all new agship MSB transports. So
this input works with:
MSB Pro Analog-to-digital Converter
Signature Data CD
all new products to come
Input Module Operation
These new inputs are automatically detected and made available. There is nothing to setup or do.
MSB Network Connector
The MSB PRO I2S Network
One of the most powerful features of MSB products is the PRO I2S network.
Most new MSB products have a PRO I2S connection available. The MSB PRO
I2S has the following capability:
• Works with standard CAT6 cable
• Simultaneous transmission of 8 audio channels with 32 bit resolution at
384 kHz sampling rate.
• MSB CAN Interbox communication Bus (for communications between
boxes)
• Low Jitter master clock distribution from the DAC back to the Transport.
This network is our answer to 384 kHz audio transmission and multichannel
transmission in the same package. We provide network outputs on our own
transports and offer a source
upgrade to your transport
as well. With multichannel
sources, up to 8 channels of
decoded data can be sent
through one wire to separate
DACs. CAT6 wire is very
convenient as it has become
the standard for all computer
networks. Several cables are
available for connecting MSB
transports to the Platinum
Line including CAT6 cable at
any length up to 80 feet.
