Own three MSB- PAD1's (two working) - this thread got me looking for a modern alternative and like everyone else -can't find one ?? Weird question -a buddy runs one on his service bench as a DC blocker -does this make any sense or is he confident in something that won't work ? Really -these are very good ,versatile ADC's . I own a herd of phono stages and frankly the phono input on this device is certainly useful -despite getting basically "so what" attention paid to it. And 24/96 is the upper limit of my speakers -so that isn't a limitation for me.
