Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I now have many dozens of hours on my 005 and I completely agree that it provides astonishing detail and incredible neutrality that I've never heard before both streaming and playing redbook CDs from my CEC tl 1.  It has been a bit of an up and do... 
Aurender Conductor latest fail…
I reinstalled conductor this morning and I'm having the same issue.  Thanks for the update re 3.23.  I think I'll wait a couple days and just use my iphone.   
Aurender Conductor latest fail…
My A10 started doing exactly that on my IPAD.  I reinstalled the app several times yesterday and am still having the problem.  I will delete and reinstall it tomorrow and see if the problem is remedied.  If not, I will create a support ticket.  So... 
Good cost effective USB cables for digital audio please
There are good deals around on XLO UltraPLUS 2.0 USB A-B Cable.  I've got one in rotation and it is a very good cable.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Thanks, melm.  I will report again after break in.  Thus far, it hasn't been a straight line.  Some moments, it seems to sound better than others.  But you know how that goes, it could be my ears, electric load on the lines or the grid, a new DAC,...

Aurender A10 for streaming and a musetac bidat for redbook CDs.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I just received my 005 from Jason at Midwest Audio.  He is a great guy, highly responsive, earnest and knowledgeable.  I highly recommend him.  He sent me a letter thanking me for my business and included a battery for the remote, which the manufa... 
Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat
Wow, 11 years between posts!  Is that a record?   I have a bidat, which John modified many years ago.  I have always loved that DAC, particularly when coupled with my CEC TL 1.  It presents a lovely, detailed, but un-digital like character.   ... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
I gave up on this mod.  I decided to pull the optical gizmos out and plug the A10 directly into my mesh node with vodka cable and it sounds a bit more resolving and natural than with the optical stuff, and obviously makes for less clutter.   If an... 
HiFi Rose RS250
I bought an aurender A10 and liked it so much a couple weeks later I bought a 250 for the second system.  I'm streaming tidal and qobuz and the available variety is truly mind bongling and wonderful.  Like any source, quality of the specific song/... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
I'm using the aurender dac.  I'm using stock ps on the fmcs for the moment.  I may try lps but my suspicion of no improvement is essentially twofold--the mesh node is pretty clean and is feeding only the aurender; and the aurender caching the sign... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
OK, my report.  I bought the two optical gizmos and a relatively short piece of optical cable to connect the two.  Running some supra from my mesh node into the first optical gizmo and then a 1.5 meter AQ vodka out of the second and into my aurend... 
Replacement for my Benz Micro Ruby
I had a ruby on a couple different VPIs.  Eventually, I upgraded to a benz ebony lps, with micro ridge stylus and still use it.  It was quite an upgrade; I found it to be a far better cartridge than the ruby, more neutral, more revealing, a greate... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
let us know how it works out.  
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
tksteingraber thanks for the response.  I may give this a go, seems worth a try for $80.  Any recommendations for LPS that won't be disproportionate to the other gear?
