The detail

The Palisade DAC is MSB's two-chassis digital-only converter, comprising a Digital Director and an Analog Converter. It combines four Hybrid DAC MKII modules, the Femto 33 MKIII clock, Bit Diffusion Technology and design work derived from the Sentinel platform. A passively attenuated, fully balanced XLR output allows direct connection to a power amplifier, while the converter chassis integrates its own low-noise linear power supply. MSB has announced the Palisade and is accepting pre-orders; final availability should be confirmed before purchase.
