| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns I agree with you on the importance of the streamer generally, but not necessarily on the use of a switch or fiber optic cable with the Ultrarendu. I don't want to get too off topic on streamers. It is possible that the best streamer would not... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @debjit_g @sns I agree with you on the importance of a well set up streamer. I have made some progress in this area, using a switch and fiber optic cables before my ultrarendu. Also, I have no complaints about the Coincident Statement preamp. ... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship Here is my conclusion on the 006. It most of all provides outstanding dynamics which goes a long way to putting energy and life into the music as if you were hearing a live performance. As I said earlier, this in itself creates the feel of more re... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @debjit_g He recommended a Chinese brand CMAudio reference silver cable. Price in USD would be $710. It doesn't seem to be readily available in the US market. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns @debjit_g I have been away for about 10 days visiting family so I have not had a chance to listen or come to a final conclusion yet. I’ll be home tomorrow. My listening will continue. Before I left I came to two conclusions. The first was ... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns It sounds like the Laiv is on it’s way to becoming at least as good as the 005, but with a different personality. It was a nice analysis. I look forward to your breaking in the 006 and reporting back. I will soon be using a silver power cabl... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns I appreciate your knowledge and insights. My experience now with the 006 confirms what you are saying on exposing the rest of the system. My Hegel P30 preamp may be too bright for the 006. I will be experimenting with power cords too. It mig... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns My personal take on a bottom line difference between the sound of the r2r approach, as implemented in the Holo May, and the Sabre dac chip, as implemented in the 005, was that neither was inherently superior. But my preference was the Sabre... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns You have ordered both I assume. Can't wait to read your conclusions. It would be interesting to throw the new Gustard x30 into the mix too. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @stuartk I don't know. I think he has a US representative in Indiana. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns Send an email to bleerockat126dotcom. He may have a better price. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @v-fi I feel I am still offering my initial impressions, not final conclusions. I had another episode of software instability tonight. Did some reloading of streamer settings and rebooting then all was well. I assume a driver update will take car... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns Thanks for the tips on tubes.I ordered direct from Musetec. It took about 4 days to ship. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns I discovered the slight excess in the highs I was hearing on the 006 went away when I connected the 006 directly to the power amp. Of course the great dynamics then dissappeared. Best remedy then seems to be a different pre. I plan to experim... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship I must modify my conclusion on tonal balance. I changed streamers to the ifi Zen Streamer. The lower mid- range and upper bass are back to being warm and rich. The highs are still more forward than the 005. It seems, as stated by @sns that the dac... |
