| Why dealers disparage certain products? #4...Some other dealer in the country already has the product and supports it. (Holo) #5...Some other dealer in the world already has the product and supports it. (Denafrips) | |
| AKM makes the best DACs AK4493SEQ: THD+N [dB] -115 S/N [dB] 123 High-rate playback; PCM 768kHz, DSD512 ES9038PRO: THD+N [dB] -122 Supports up to 768kHz PCM, DSD256 via DOP and native DSD1024 DNR [dB] 140 (mono) 132 (8-Ch) It's all silly. No one has ever listened t... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @arafiq Lots of complaint that there's talk here about another DAC. Then lots of talk here about that other DAC from you. I agree that the ad on US Audio Mart using @dbb's review is kind of ridiculous. Don't know if he even asked for permissio... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @fleschler I don’t think he is biased. There would be no reason. As far as I know, from this and another forum, @dbb is an amateur music lover like me and you. He is not a dealer. He bought the Musetec and the Holo May with his own money, and af... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton I saw your post in the "Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui" thread before it was removed. Go easy on these guys. It’s very hard for them to get away from two of their fundamentals: (1) There is a strong correlation in DACs between price a... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton "Are you saying that the Amanero board in the 005 converts USB to I2s internally?" Absolutely. That’s what Amanero boards do. I²S is how all DACs communicate internally. I realize this thread is getting very long, but we’ve covered... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Of course, the Musetec already provides an Amanaro board providing USB to I²S conversion. It may even have better clocks and a better power supply. But if you come up with a superior SQ, we'll all be watching. | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @fleschler "The May didn't hold up to the Musetec 005 (was the reviewer biased as a dealer)?" Whose comparison are you referring to? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @blang Nice to hear of your satisfaction with the Musetec. Jinbo is not Paul McGowan. He is just a very small designer/manufacturer. I don't think he gives usage advice, as a dealer might. But if anything goes wrong, or to get it up an workin... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara The search for better SQ never ends, My own guess is that going in through USB on this DAC is as good as it gets. But that’s only a guess and additional data points are always welcome. We’ll be following your progress. As for c... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @erictal4075 Are you using the Holo preamplifier with a Musetec? You are quite right that, but for temporary use, the volume control of the Musetec (and most other DACs) should not be used as they constrain the dynamics if used beyond just a ... | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good I'm very happy with the Viborg VP1606 power cable I used to make the cable for my amp. It can now be bought with terminations. Highly recommended. It replaced a very good Supra cable and the difference was apparent. Most branded cables are mad... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @laoman When you say, "’Yes’, I am aware that manufacturers can do do heavily modify chips, but still....." you’ve got it all wrong. It’s not really about the chip. True, the Musetec runs the chips warm, as was done in the LKS 004 and it is sai... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq To add to your store of information and knowledge, IIUC the reviewer is a manufacturer of, among other things, an ethernet filter held in very high regard on this board. He continually needs and uses a DAC of very high quality to test his... | |
