Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
@abd1 did you receive either the Voyager or the GaN1. I am curious about your impression with the Cubes. Can you please provide an update ?  
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I would agree with @grannyring. With today's digital setup, a usb input would just made it a lot viable option. Many with highend streamers would have to use a digital convertor which somewhat defeats the purpose of simplicity GAN1 brings to the t...

@sns you will be surprised to know that the performance of motherboard usb really depends on a lot of variables, like the motherboard, chipset used, quality of onboard clock, Operating system used etc and off-coarse the big demon power supply. I h... 
HoloAudio STREAMER is out now
DDC | Denafrips At least I believe they function as streamers. I don’t believe DDC’s are called streamers. DDC are "Digital to Digital Converter" which means they convert from one protocol to another, or from one digital interface to another d...

Does it support wifi? No but wifi is bad for audio anyways.

In my server the JCAT XE USB card adds only 10% of the improvement that can be had from the server when powering from the mother power. Another 10% improvement when powering it with a high quality LPS. The majority comes from the s/w & network...

AFAIK, the 005 is not a NOS dac and has an in-built SRC which can't be bypassed. All external s/w based conversion may either be not beneficial or might have a -ive impact on the SQ or you may not see any difference depending on the bit rate and r...

Not real worth much ,not Roon ready ,power supplies are not that great as well as power regulation ,   Its says Roon Ready as well as Roon bridge, which is a bit confusing. They are both different and usually you would have one or the other. I...

@willgolf what wires and connectors are you using for the Helix pc ? A week back a friend bought 3 Helix power cords with different connectors (some are quiet expensive) but cheap wires. For the price, they put many expensive power cords to shame,...

Then I hope to test the Takumi on my Inakustic Power conditioner and may be the Lampi. @willgolf are you using the Inakustik 3500P or the newer one in your system ? I use a 3500P and currently looking to upgrade its power cord. Do you mind aski...

@sns and @melm thanks for the recommendation.   I've only used diy power cables based on  recipes @willywonka  has developed over the past few years. They're called Helix Image, the particular recipes I've been using are the best power cables I...

Any of the owners experimented with power cords with the 005 ? I have couple in my arsenal that I wanted to try but thought of asking if you have a preference ?   Btw, at one time I owned 3 Furutech Flux 50 NCF version but I didn't keep any of t... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@melm yes, I completely understand. I read through their website about it but honestly this type of architecture is nothing new - many many have implemented separating out the digital and analog completely over the years. Playback Design MPD8 has...

The Amanero board within the Musetec does the conversion from USB to I2S just like the external boards. It does that with an excellent power supply using super-capacitors, and clocks...   Yes, all USB boards, Amanero or XMOS or JLSounds does t...

yes, you would be surprised what a great front end can do to a DAC. Many times we change DAC thinking that it will bring better sound and more than often its the source that limiting the DAC from performing to its full potential.
