Was given MSB link DAC with that dreaded PCM1716 dac. Plugged in the home brew can hosting PSU . No light on the faceplate. Bummer ! . Took the hood off and here it goes. The cable connecting to display were nowhere to be found. I guess detrimental to SQ. Pretty heavy stuff going on on the board circa vintage 00 era . Elna Stargate on PSU , Cerafines and even two red BG's , Caddock and Vishay precision resistors. Actually pretty smooth sound. I thought that I will sell it and spend the money on booze and women but I guess I'm stuck with it. That PCM1716 has an abysmal opinion but the sound isn't half bad actually
