Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@lordmelton  Did you try the LKS 100 without the linear power supply? I'm thinking of trying it, but thought I could hedge my bets by not buying the lps unless I heard some benefit with the lks 100 on a cheap switching power supply first.

@Toddk31 I think of this audio hobby as a means to enjoy music. It is hard for me to relate to the objectivism school. I don’t understand why you didn’t listen to it. Do you feel it possible that you are biased by measurements? I’m not belittling...

Another interesting (and obvious) question is do to different pieces of audio equipment that measure the same sound the same. If the answer is no, then the ASR philosophy goes down in flames.

@yyzsantabarbara  I appreciate your comment and open mindedness.

There is an extreme hostility over at ASR that I don't comprehend .  I re-posted a comment here that I originally posted there. The comment was largely censored and I was excoriated.  It was at 249:  I edited your hilarious post for just the humd...

@Willywonka I agree. My review is the most useful if we share similar musical tastes.

@Chaos333 Thank you for your kind words. @Batvac2 Scientifically explaining how the a dac with excellent S/N misses subtle detail is beyond my pay grade. I listened through speakers, but I would speculate that speakers or headphones would be th...

@melm  Thanks for  getting Jinbo's take on the ASR measurements. This explains a lot. They seem to be so rabid and closed minded at ASR that it would probably not be useful to post it over there.

@Fl_guy   Not everyone is a fan of Steve Gutenberg, but I think he has some good thoughts on the subject at hand. https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/can-sound-quality-be-measured/

I posted this at ASR: I’ll try to state my view as clearly as I can now to avoid endless repetitive back and forth. I am not looking to be a troll or be trolled. I have only occasionally read this forum, but the impression I’ve gotten on this Mus...

@debjit_g  I think there may be some confusion. The L.K.S Audio USB-100 USB Audio Interface  can be purchssed with a separate linear power supply, the LPS-25-USB. I don't think the description meant that the power was from usb.  
Holo May KTE vs Meitner MA3
Please save the politics for another forum. It is a downer. I'm tired of Americans fighting with each other without reason.

@turcoda Can you describe your setup in more detail? Have you contacted Jinbo, the manufacturer?

@melm Thanks for the kind words. I agree with your comments on the effect of the entire chain. Still, in a nut shell, I would say the May tends to make a small ensemble sound big by adding seperation and a big ensemble lacking in detail. Again, my...
