| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION OP, your thread is like so many others here: Help me choose a DAC. People ask because there are so many DACs and it’s impossible to audition them all. Many of the best ones, and best values, are sold directly and not through B&M dealers. They ... | |
| New Preamp from Musetec @yyzsantabarbara Then it's hard to imagine two people more at the opposite ends of audio than you and me. If you want a preamp that does not at all change the amp sound, and you seem not to need the gain, then why not just opt for a passive pre... | |
| New Preamp from Musetec @yyzsantabarbara I don't agree with your assessment if it is meant to say that the Benchmark (which I was familiar with) has no sound. A straight wire with gain? No coloration? I don't think so. It may be simply a matter of which components ... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? I believe that DAC singularity point has been reached already. I believe this not because i had much experience with high end dac or dac in general... i believe it because i listen classical music and non amplified music and the timbre experi... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? It seems I was grossly misunderstood by @othercrazycanuck in a very audiophile way. Likely I did not express it well. Revealing or not, I don't advocate listening through earphones to recordings that are engineered to sound like real musical eve... | |
| New Preamp from Musetec @yyzsantabarbara Hi there friend. Given his pricing, and I have to emphasize HIS pricing because we know where he has been in pricing, he must be aiming a good deal higher than the preamps you name. We'll not know 'till someone takes the plung... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? Great DACs will always cost more, just like great amps and preamps. The actual digital to analog conversion of which so much is made is probably the least important component of a DAC. Great DACs have been made with every type of conversion be t... | |
| New Preamp from Musetec The Preamp is in production and will be ready to ship in about 2 weeks. The price is $4500 including shipping. There will be a factory discount for early purchasers. A detailed owners manual is here. It did take a short while to download. In ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Slightly off topic but, Musetec has produced a preamp: shown here As usual, a complete technical description. Probably best to take any further discussion over to "Amps Preamps" | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC As reported by lordmelton, best price ever. Sale at Shenzhen Audio ends tomorrow. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit Congratulations on your purchase and thanks for your post. Whether the $280 Singxer or the $3500 Innuos USB reclocker, each has at its core a 24.000Mhz OCXO that is placed near its USB converter circuit. The Singxer also provid... | |
| USB Reclocker This issue recently came up on the Musetec thread. The benefits of a reclocker will be system specific. If you want to try one, the new Singxer UIP-1 PRO at $275 seems to be a better bet, and much cheaper than the Innuos Phoenix. Among other th... | |
| Dac that has tone and timing? jjss49 has experienced many systems and many DACs. His list contains some very good DACs that he's actually heard and evaluated. It's hard to find advice like that from someone who has nothing to gain or lose. Critics, in print or on internet,... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit It looks like 6V is being recommended for an LPS for use with the Singxer UIP-1 PRO. Saw this at Kitsune. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit Singxer is a Chinese company with a sterling reputation. Their most popular product over the years has been a USB to I2S converter that is competitive with a similar one from LKS. The Singxer UIP-1 PRO ($280) and also the Inn... |
