UPDATE:
This week marks the completion of the mechanical design for the Sentinel DAC. The Digital Director, Analog Converter, and Power Supply have now entered machine shop production — a major milestone that’s been years in the making.
While discussing this with our machinist, Jonathan Sondreal, he reminded me that the Sentinel Clock was his very first project at MSB — five years ago! We brought Jonathan on board because the Sentinel’s complexity demanded machining expertise beyond my own capabilities at the time.
From that moment forward, we have pushed every aspect of our design and manufacturing processes to their absolute limits — an uncompromising expression of our passion for engineering and music.
The Sentinel Analog Converter, for scale.
The complete jack panel. Custom power connectors are still being manufactured.
A placeholder for the signed Founders Edition Badge of the Sentinel DAC. Our first production is limited to 50 pieces. The final badge will be hand polished stainless.
**Note, these are temporary power cables in the following pictures. Cascade and Select DAC if you recognize them. The new cable assemblies are still in production.
Exquisitely machined jack panels. Every detail perfected.
Stunning 5-axis CNC machined parts. A puzzle like construction.
