Dynamic Duo: T+A DAC 200 and Lumin U2 (not the mini)
@ready4audio I tried the ethernet input. I would say the results were an A+. In my opinion the fiber optical was a little  better, with more sparkle and dynamics. A++.  
Dynamic Duo: T+A DAC 200 and Lumin U2 (not the mini)
@ready4audio  I have approximately 300 hundred hours on the U2 now. I would say that the sound quality is a noticeable improvement over my Ultrarendu. It is extremely quiet, has a very natural texture, and, best of all it has an ease that let's th... 
Dynamic Duo: T+A DAC 200 and Lumin U2 (not the mini)
@ready4audio I have just ordered a Lumin U2. Curious as to how long it took to break in. Also, any tips or suggestions on how to get the best out of it? I have read that the optical input is the best.  
First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship
I would write to Musetec at bleerock@126.com with this question. I assume you are using RCA outputs which should have lower voltage than the XLRs.

@shmeet It will be interesting to see if the Musetec preamp MH-SA001 has a special synergy with the 006 when both are fully broken in. Please keep us posted.

@noelpastor I’m in south Florida in the winter where I have the 006. If you're nearby, I suggest buying the X-30 on Amazon, breaking it in, and bring it over to my house to compare. If the x30 lost the competition, you could return it within 30 da...

@shmeet  I understand you bought the Musetec preamp. Can you describe it's sound and how it effects the 006 presentation?

@shmeet As @sns  suggested, you should ask if they will send both and allow you to return one.   
Has anyone compared the Opticalrendu streamer to the upgraded Opticalrendu Deluxe?
@boulder_bob Thanks for finding this thread. I have provided excerpts below to make it easier for future readers. In essence one new user complained that before break-in the Opticalrendu Deluxe was cold sounding compared to his Zen Stream. The man... 
I am checking out these DAC's for my system
@shmeet This is off topic, but could you tell us more about you experience with the Mustec preamp? I have never seen a review of it. What tube preamplifier do you have that it equals? Thanks.

@brbrock  I have not seen your thread where you said the 006 might be fatiguing, but just to be clear, I briefly was bothered by certain high frequency sounds like violins during break-in being harsh. This passed. My final conclusion is that I hav... 
Sonore Signature Rendu SE
@brianclark1969 I assume you are referring to the old signature SE version, not the current deluxe version. Is that correct?

@brbrock couldn't find it on the website either. You could email Jinbo at Musetec:  bleerock@126.com.

@dlevi67  Welcome to the forum. Based on the sound you are looking for (“. . . both analytical and synthetic abilities: I want to be able to hear individual instruments or voices _if I want to,_ but I also need to hear the overall musical piece a...

@wynnytsky  Thanks for your suggestion. I went through a lot of ups and downs over the first five weeks of break-in. Some were no doubt due to changes in sound. Others due to my own impatience and moods during listening. After about five weeks bot...
