| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fmzip You may find some folks having more experience with the 005 over at the head-fi 005 thread. If you want comments about whether "there is really more to be had with the 005" you might want to summarize the modifications you have made to th... | |
| Another turntable The TW was a great turntable, and still is. It's not like TT technology has gone very far in 20 years. And who cares if it is not talked about; there weren't very many out there. A TT may age in one place and that is the bearing. Have you look... | |
| dCS Bartok DAC - Interesting Video Review It might be of interest to some that a thread very much like this one was pulled by Steve Hoffman over at his forum. When I say like this one, the OP posted the negative video review and it was followed by about 16 posts. Some of the posts favor... | |
| dCS Bartok DAC - Interesting Video Review It’s interesting that GoldenSound is willing to risk his hard-earned reputation finding fault with this $18,500 DAC. The DAC has received stellar reviews from virtually all reviewers without a reservation. However the initial Stereophile review w... | |
| Dumb Question: How do you insert a youtube video in a post. @elliottbnewcombjr @millercarbon Thanks a bunch for the info. Didn't think it would be so easy. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wharfy I've been reading with pleasure about your CD experience on the Pro-Ject thread. Looks like you're having a good time. I write in response to your venture into CD burning. I think you'll find that a very interesting voyage. I wrote e... | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 @soix Yes, the Pegasus is cheaper than the Pontus because it's made cheaper. Much cheaper. Half the cabinetry. Half the power supply. Just for openers. And as for the resister ladder: Is it the same? How do you know? Just because they loo... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @agentwja Thanks for the kind words. There are many fine DACs out there at all sorts of prices. I'm sure you'll find something suitable. There are many folks around here who know much more than I do. Don't hesitate to ask if you need to. Hap... | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 @soix Well, your DAC may be "built like a brick sh*thouse" and it may sound OK. But as for your ridiculous comparison with the Denafrips Pontus, I'll just inform you that for one thing the Pontus has a far more serious power supply, really supp... | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 The Musician company may be one you want to be careful of Apparently, they don't just lend a product for review to youtube reviewers, they give them the DAC to keep. That's way outside the norm. Perhaps that helps to explain the nothing-but-pl... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @agentwja You write of the possibility of getting an R2R DAC and a chip DAC to compare. If you look around you can see that it’s been done here by two fair and credible audiophiles with no commercial interest in either. Moreover it was done with ... | |
| Anybody here listen to Mahler? As someone wrote, with each of Zander’s recordings with the Philharmonia Orchestra (on Telarc) there was included a separate disk with lengthy explanations of history, context, his conducting choices, examples of other conductors’ choices, example... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 Nice post. You’re not the first to write of a WAF for this DAC, though we might have to redefine WAF. As you have only 40 hours on the DAC you have a lot to look forward to. With a CD player that might not be operating at its best, you ma... | |
| HDMI audiophile cable If you feel the need to spend money go ahead. But your DAC already has a circuit to convert from USB to I2S which is exactly what the Singxer does. In other words, it duplicates exactly what you already have. Unless you have reason to believe i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Well, the Musetec DAC must be reaching an unanticipated level of acceptance so that its name is now being used to shill for a competitive, virtually unknown, product. As for the competitive product, it seems actually to be aimed at the Holo Audio... |
