Any MSB fans here ?

[Mustu]

I have a REFERENCE amazing dac. 
 

I have noticed after the recent software update as the smart switching is set to default the following 

1) if I stop the music playing via roon ( pro usb ) it’s switches to tos link which is fine, as that’s connected but when it switches back to pro usb when I play a track on roon there is a 1 to 2 sec delay for the left channel. The delay is there even when it switched to toslink. 

2) I have swapped the XLR interconnections on the dac and it’s still the left channel on the dac  as then the right speaker is delayed for 1 to 2 seconds. 
 

please can someone check the same. 
 

thanks

@mustafakaiserI'm glad to see your post. I am also on the latest MSB firmware, and on the Reference dac. I experience the same left-channel delay you describe.

 

I only use the ProISL interface, BTW.

 

Before the update, there was no indication of this phenomenon. 
 

I also *think* it did not occur immediately upon ingesting the update, but only in the past week or so. But that may be a faulty memory on my part. 
 

In the past couple of days, I *may* have noticed there are some files that do not have the delay. I will have to listen and note these exceptions. 
 

I took this recent update in the hope it would stop a small delay in playing music at the beginning of most tracks (it did not). 
 

I was thinking perhaps there was some minor glitch in the handshake between the Taiko Extreme and the Reference, before the signal locked.

 

What is feeding your Reference dac? Cheers...

Oh dear great I’m glad that it’s not only me that noticed this. I have a melco feeding my dac via usb.

...interestingly, that seems to rule out many things for me (and you), which points to the update, don't you think? 

Yes!!! I’m glad I posted this as I was going around in circles from this afternoon. Will connect with MSB tomorrow.

...it seems irregular to me. Not specifically to switching resolution, not specific only to Qobuz files or local.

 

*Maybe* not happening on DSD workflow? Thanks for contacting MSB. Let me know if you need more info. Vince G. is regionally close to me and I can support your outreach. Cheers...

Great yes do speak to vince. Also if you don’t mind can I share your post with MSB? I will speak to Jonathan. It’s not irregular if you have switching on it’s there every time it switched from toslink to ProISL and back. Just rechecked. Happens to DSD as well. It will not happen once’s it’s played on either that’s ProISL OR Toslink.

Following..Not having this issue but will be interested in hearing the solution. 

The updates for the ref and discrete are different.
