Could anyone who has used the Westminister Lab MSB Upgrade DC Cables share about the experience? Could the cables help to enhance the effect/quality significantly? Thanks.
I am afraid that MSB officially recommends using only original cables and that may ultimately void your warranty if a problem occurs due to different cables.
True true. We do know those guys and have provided them cable assembly drawings. If you search around, I am sure you will find more information on them and reviews. But, we have to be clear on the warranty, an assembly error that over voltages every IC on the motherboard will completely destroy the DAC and requires replacement, not just repair. Regular inputs and outputs are designed to be robust, but power supplies are expected 100% to be correct and do not have protections in place.
That being said, we don’t discourage it, but want you to know the risks up front.

I am hesitating whether to get 2 Westminster DC cables or get a Premier Powerbase.
After running my Discrete for 800 hours, I guess it has already 100% run-in, and further improvement is not possible without upgrading power supply.
If any Westminster / Premier Powerbase users here, hope they would share their thoughts.
Welcome to the forum! One of the things I like to point out in these types of choices is upgrading the performance/quality vs unlocking new technology. The DC cables may indeed improve your current system, but the Premier Powerbase adds better power circuity, custom transformers with improved shielding, and power control. It is a great improvement that makes a measurable difference. I like to imagine cabling as a way to tune up a system, but upgrading the powerbase is similar to buying a better car entirely. Our customers in Japan almost exclusively buy the Discrete DAC with the Premier Powerbase. Hope that helps! Feel free to ask if you have any questions about upgrading. Cheers!
