Analog DAC XLR Balanced Input Module

This module is our AES/EBU interface module. This interface is limited in both sample rate, supported data formats, and bit depth. Toslink, Coaxial, and Balanced digital interfaces are most commonly asynchronous unless a separate clock feedback channel is added to the transport or server. In all of our DACs, we provide the best isolation possible the format allows, helping prevent most electrical noise from coupling from the transport.

Expand the professional-grade connectivity of your MSB Analog DAC with our genuine Balanced XLR Input Module. While The Analog DAC has been officially retired from our current lineup, we maintain a limited inventory of original factory modules to support our dedicated listeners and ensure your legacy system continues to perform flawlessly.

Designed around MSB’s signature modular architecture, this input module allows you to interface your Analog DAC with high-end digital transports, network streamers, and professional audio equipment that utilize standard AES/EBU balanced digital outputs.

Key Features:

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

• Studio-Grade Connectivity (AES/EBU): Provides a dedicated balanced XLR digital interface, renowned for exceptional common-mode noise rejection—especially over longer cable runs.

• High-Resolution Support: Engineered to handle pristine digital audio streams, supporting high-resolution playback up to 24-bit / 384 kHz.

• 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 module provides a balanced digital (AES/EBU) input and is strictly compatible with the discontinued MSB Analog DAC. As this is legacy factory stock, inventory is limited and available only while supplies last.

Installation: Ensure your Analog DAC is powered off and completely unplugged before removing the screws on either side of the desired blank or module you want to swap. Carefully align the XLR module with the internal guide rails in an open bay, firmly press it into the chassis until it is fully seated, and secure it by replacing the screw under the chassis. Connect to your digital source using a standard 110-ohm balanced AES/EBU cable.
