First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship

@sns, thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I was considering the LKS USB-100, which is supposed to have quality components.

But I read somewhere that the LKS USB100 needs a driver to play from a PC and I don’t know if it will be compatible with W10, W11 and if it will work with the SMS-200, because I can’t get the driver there, is that right or am I wrong?

Does anyone know? Any other specific suggestions and experiences with I2S? Best device for the money?  Enjoy listening :-)

LKS  doesn't  need driver, it will work with SMS-200 . Issue I see with LKS is non-configurable pin assignments on I2S, but this need not be and issue if dac has configurable pin assignment. I assume having ability for pin configuration not an issue for LKS and 005 since are same manufacturer. As to what ddc to purchase, I'd try to go for a better unit than LKS. don't believe clock in that unit superior to 005 clock. Laiv just came out with DDC, reasonable price, should be superior to LKS. If you were willing to go higher price, Denafrips Gaia, which I use, their Hermes DDC also nice. All those mentioned have configurable pin assignment in which case they will work with 005.

Anyone looking to buy a 006 should act quickly because Chinese tariffs will be in excess of 100% soon.

Still rocking the 005, sounds great but I'll buy a 006 next time I go to Hong Kong.

I used a SR Purple fuse in my 005 for over a year and it was great but got a special on SR Master Fuse, different animal.

Go for it 30 free trial, you won't send it back. Superb.

I used an lks with lks power supply on my 005, i2s, it sounded excellent, good synergy, an improvement over USB in my system.  I have since moved on to an 006 and Gaia, definitely a move up.  I still have the lks and power supply, if interested pm me.
