Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
For wharfy it was 12 days from ordering until delivery. That doesn’t mean it will be the same for you, but it looks good. Shenzhen seems often to give a longer expected delivery date so as not to be bothered with Where’s my stuff? emails. Good luck. As you can see by the responses, it’s worth the wait. Could be the last DAC for many people, including me. |
"One more update--played my better half her CD copy of The Nutcracker. She remarked that she heard instruments she did not know were there." How reminiscent of the golden analog days. We used to purchase a new cartridge, perhaps our first moving coil (expensive and consumable), and rush to hear what it does on familiar disks. What would we hear that was formerly hidden in those grooves? I trust all still goes well with the DAC. |
@melm This hearing of the formerly unheard continues to amaze me with 16/44, 005, network and general system improvements. My recent boutique tube purchases uncovered another layer of the lowest level details, performers in room becoming flesh and blood, more timbral color. This cannot happen if source obscures, 005 is amazingly resolving piece.
My analog setup only fell further behind with 005 in system, now presume it will take minimum $3.5K cartridge and planned mods to phono stage to get back in running. For all possible future purchasers of 005, expect to hear the previously unheard. And not in a clinical, analytical manner, assuming one's present system not voiced in this manner. |
