Angeboten wird „Reference“ von MSB Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Kopfhörerverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5618044672 endet am 13.09.2026 um 00:36 Uhr.
This is a fair-to-good buy rather than a steal, sitting above the €4,087 25th percentile but well below the €7,619 median for recent comparable EUR listings. At €5,900, it lands in the lower-middle of the market, so the price looks sensible if the unit is complete and genuinely clean.
That makes it interesting because these MSB pieces are valued for serious resolution, low-noise digital performance, and a distinctly high-end, “get out of the way” presentation that still holds up well today. In good condition, a well-kept example can be a smart entry into a respected reference-grade platform; the upside is strongest if it has the right power supply, remote, and original accessories.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
MSB Technology emerged in the late 1980s from Silicon Valley, California, with roots tracing to 1986 or 1989, depending on the account. Founded by Marcus Brassfield and Larry Gullman, the company began by modifying consumer CD players like the Magnavox, evolving through contracted digital research into a family-owned enterprise. Today, brothers Jonathan Gullman (CEO) and Daniel Francis lead operations from Watsonville, upholding a legacy of in-house innovation in precision engineering.
The brand specializes in ultra-high-end digital audio components, renowned for its modular DAC platforms such as the Discrete, Premier, Select, and flagship Cascade and Sentinel. Pioneers of discrete ladder DAC modules since 1999, MSB also produces bit-perfect digital transports, ultra-precise clocks, analog-to-digital converters, and pure Class A amplifiers delivering up to 500 watts. Their fully integrated production—encompassing PCB assembly, CNC machining, and 3D inspection—ensures uncompromising quality without reliance on external suppliers.
Positioned firmly in the cost-no-object boutique segment, MSB commands reverence among discerning audiophiles for setting benchmarks in lifelike digital playback and future-proof modularity. Stratospherically priced yet unmatched in transparency and adaptability, their products appeal to those prioritizing authentic reproduction over convention, solidifying a niche as Silicon Valley's audacious high-end trailblazer.
