Thanks for all your comments and suggestions guys.
I saved up for the TSS, so my budget is between $20k to around $35k. The orginal reason I didn’t get an Esoteric was it didn’t have an I2S imput since I have a PST, and I did compared an Esoteric N-01 XD. The MK2 with my Esoteric streamer was clearer and more musical to me. I could go for the Esoteric Grandioso, but it’s out of my budget, now it’s even worst, it went from $46k to $50k because of tariffs. I’m not using my PST much anymore, and because my Esoteric streamer outperforms it in SQ, I2S capability is no longer a must have.
There are some used MSB Select II’s, but they are in black. My system is in silver. The other Dac I was thinking about is Playback Designs MPD-8, but they are in dark gray only.
