MSB UPGRADE & TRADE-IN PROGRAM
Upgrade with Confidence
MSB products are designed for long-term ownership. Through the MSB Upgrade & Trade-In Program, many current and previous-generation MSB products may qualify for trade-in consideration toward new MSB electronics.
Whether you're considering a new DAC or amplifier, Choice Audio can help evaluate your current system and identify available upgrade paths within the MSB ecosystem.
Every trade-in is evaluated individually, allowing owners to explore the latest MSB technology while maximizing the value of their existing investment.

How Trade-In Values Are Determined
Each trade-in is evaluated individually based on:
- Model and generation
- Age
- Physical condition
- Operational status
- Installed options and modules
- Desired replacement product
Because every system is unique, trade-in values are determined on a case-by-case basis.
Many current-generation and legacy MSB products may qualify for trade-in consideration.
What Qualifies as Good Condition?
Products in good condition typically show normal wear associated with use in a dedicated listening room or home environment.
Examples may include:
- Minor cosmetic blemishes
- Light scratches
- Small signs of normal use
Products should be fully operational with no known electrical faults.
Equipment exhibiting significant abuse, water damage, fire damage, severe cosmetic damage, or operational issues may receive reduced trade-in consideration.
Preserving Your Investment
One of the advantages of the MSB platform is its modular architecture.
When compatible, existing accessories and options may be transferred to your new component, including:
- Input modules
- Clock modules
- Remote controls
- Select accessories and upgrade options
MSB will evaluate transferable components during the upgrade process.
