| What, in your opinion, should the rules be for YouTube Reviews? Who cares? Think of all the audiophiles ready to buy this $55,000 amplifier who see this video and change their mind. That is absolutely no one! | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wharfy About ripping CDs, yes all the data is 16/44 yet it can be heard differently as it passes through one or another USB cable or as it passes through my SOtM sMS-200 or sns’s Uptone regen. It’s the old "bits are bits" argument, or not. I ha... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wharfy It's so nice to read your impressions of the DAC. There's always a bit of anxiety for some of us recommending an audio product. When writing of the LKS 004 I was never so secure in a recommendation though I thought it was, and is, a fi... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wharfy Glad to see that you received the Musetec quickly and that you like it. But "brittle"?😕 As for the filter, most of us use Slow-L, I think. I do think you have to pick one or the other. The Singxer SU1 converts USB to I2S (or even spdif... | |
| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter "the usb interface should never be inside the dac" ??? That's news to me. They are on most of the acknowledged great DACs. | |
| I was told I2S is a better signal from computer vs USB. assistance in how to Is there a computer with an I2S output?? | |
| usb, spdif, or usb to spdif converter Which is better probably depends upon your hardware. The SPDIF is more generic, I think, so it might all depend on how your DAC handles USB. DACs convert USB to I2S internally, so that if your DAC does this well, no need for external USB to I2S ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara Glad it came so soon. As for DPLL, others can probably better explain exactly what it is. Since I play a lot of DSD files, I set it at the lowest number that can receive those files cleanly. Theoretically a lower number is bett... | |
| What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ? It is all system dependent. What may work for someone else may not work for you. You'll never know what will work for you until you try it. I was using an expensive solid core silver cable (in fact tried 2 different ones) for a DAC. These cables... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @bill_k While I am in no position to make any prediction for anyone else, my Musetec DAC was sent by Fedex in April, tracked continually from China and delivered to my door (East Coast US) just like any other Fedex delivery,. No duty, no tax, n... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Over at the Musetec thread on head-fi.org, the DAC was just compared very favorably to the $13,000 Mola Mola Tambaqui. | |
| Different R2R DACs @metaldetektor My main points were simply not to make too much of a reviewer's purchase or of the A+ rating. Nice that you found this reviewer compatable even though IIUC he has not been reviewing for them all that long. Enjoy the DAC. Seems l... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @sanvara You quoted my post. The company is Musheng Audio ( 沐声音频 ). Just as Holo makes the Spring DAC and the May DAC, they make the LKS DACs and the Musetec DAC. The Musetec is their current statement DAC. I sometimes call the company Musetec... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC China, being ahead of us in time, the Black Friday price of under $3000 is now listed on the Shenzhen web site. | |
| Different R2R DACs @metaldetektor Interesting that you write about the accommodation pricing available to reviewers, especially of the more important journals. That he bought the review DAC means nothing, really. Most of these reviews mean nothing. He writes glowin... |
