Analog DAC MQA USB Input Module

Standard USB inputs on DACs are common. What isn’t common is what we do with ours. The entire USB module has a high level of isolation between the USB hardware and the DAC. The USB interface is limited to 384kHz and 4xDSD. Our MQA version also supports full MQA decoding.

Upgrade your MSB Analog DAC to fully support Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) audio with our genuine MQA USB Input Module. While The Analog DAC has been officially retired from our current lineup, we have remaining factory inventory to ensure our dedicated listeners can equip their legacy DACs with modern, high-resolution streaming capabilities.

Designed specifically for the modular architecture of The Analog DAC, this advanced USB input module features hardware-level MQA decoding alongside massive data-rate support for your high-resolution PCM and DSD files. It incorporates MSB's proprietary isolation techniques to ensure harsh computer noise is kept strictly out of your analog signal path.

Key Features:

• Genuine MSB OEM Part: Manufactured in-house by MSB Technology for guaranteed compatibility and uncompromised digital audio performance.

• High-Resolution Support: Handles massive data rates, supporting bit-perfect PCM playback up to 384 kHz and native DSD up to 4x (DSD256).

• Advanced Galvanic Isolation: Computers and servers introduce significant electrical noise. This module features robust isolation between the USB hardware and the DAC chassis, ensuring an exceptionally black background and pristine sonic clarity.

• Seamless Integration: True plug-and-play design. The module slides perfectly into the isolated, modular input bays on the rear of The Analog DAC.

Important Note: This specific MQA version can be visually identified by the gold insert surrounding the USB Type B connector. It is strictly compatible with the discontinued MSB Analog DAC. Apple macOS systems are plug-and-play, while Windows computers will require the correct MSB USB driver for optimal playback. As this is legacy factory stock, inventory is strictly limited and available only while supplies last.

Installation: Ensure your Analog DAC is powered off and completely unplugged before removing the blanking plate or swapping modules. Carefully align the MQA USB module with the internal guide rails in an open bay, firmly press it into the chassis until it is fully seated. Connect to your digital source using a high-quality USB cable.
