| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Always in a learning mode, I'd love to hear more about the "custom build streamer" that you're using. It's great to know that as you've gone higher and higher in the streaming realm, the 005 can keep up. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit There's been such an explosion in "interfaces" as you call them that asking for a low cost option is like asking for a low cost DAC. You'll get a boatload of suggestions, basically as what various people have settled on. The Mu... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit I don't think you can use the Mac C22 as an example by which to judge the sound performance of all preamps with tubes. I know that there are those who drool in front of the visual attraction of Macs. However, the build of the C2... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit When I wrote my last post I thought that the reputations of the Schiit and Rogue preamps were sufficiently well established that I failed to say the following. Remember that my personal judgments are, as best as I can, against li... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC As long as there’s so much talk about preamps I’ll add my $.02. Within the last two or three years I’ve gone from a fine 2 piece Sim Audio to a Schiit Freya+ to a Rogue RP-7. I have found that what works for me is that the preamp is the perfect p... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns It seems to me that the vocal excercises you outline might work to help "voice" your listening room rather than the component system. When I go to a dealer or a show I always carry with me, in one form or another, some music files with whic... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara Too bad that Audiogon does not support a "search within thread" function. it would often be a great help. The best you can do here is to use the general search on "Musetec Bricasti". You will come up with something. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC From recent comments here it looks like I am not the only one here experimenting with cables of all sorts. Like may high-end devices I find the Musetec to be very sensitive to cables: power, USB & analog. I noted that in my particular set-up... | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience Or what about woolen dryer balls like these from Gingko or these cheaper ones from Amazon? The Gingko site has a white paper explanation. There’s been some comment about these where they cut the Amazon ones in half into hemispheres.. | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience Wouldn't a Sorbothane or Sorbothane-like pad produce the same result at a much less expensive price? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @boxer12 As compared to other DACS I have used, the Musetec seems to have what I would call a fuller treble that’s a bit hard to describe. It’s not a tipped up top end, but rather a fullness that has the effect of filling out the overtones of ins... | |
| Classical Archives It's a bunch of nothing: AAC: 160 kbps Full Streams (Flash) | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them A well known audio designer and manufacturer writing in another forum has accused TAS of corruption on more than one occasion. So all of this is no surprise. But why post this here instead of at Analog? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @batvac2 What persuaded me early on was the description of the excellent, and costly, parts used by the engineer/designer in producing the Musetec DAC. No one in their right mind, or so it seemed to me, was going to use this quality of parts but... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC My, my. How many angels are dancing on the head of this pin? Consider two different strikes of an etching taken a few days apart. Number one has the artist’s signature on it He signed it and died the next day. He never saw the second, which was t... |
