| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @milpai -Thanks! Definitely looking forward, and happy to share my impressions. And yes, I saw the comparison to the Holo May Level 2. I have a Holo Spring 1KTE and I am looking forward hearing the similarities and differences. I read and re-read... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm -"Anyway, someone who remembers Lafayette Radio probably has the time to rip his CD collection--as I did. 😀" LOL! I have an Aurender server with days worth of music on it. Think that will do it. Thanks again! | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @dbb -Thanks for the advice. My Cambridge transport has either coax or optical. Which one is better for the 005? And my Aurender music server has USB. I'm using an Audio Quest USB. Curious which USB audio cable you are using? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm - Thanks! It’s always exciting trying something new in my system. As you noted, I go back and forth between the positive attributes of Delta Sigma and R2R DACS. This will be fun. One question-You wrote, "...be sure to run it hard for the 30 ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm -Thanks for your comments and insight. I agree not everyone develops sensitivities to higher frequencies as they age. In my case, I have. Too many years of screaming kids in school environments with terrible acoustics. With that said, I put... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns -Thanks for the overview response. Very detailed, giving me a lot to consider. I've rotated Mytek 192, Ayre and Wyred 4 Sound through my system, and think you hit the nail on the head about the revealing nature with regard to poorer recordin... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Can anyone weigh about the presence or absence of higher frequency digital glare in the 005, in a tube-based system? I am following this thread, and others about this DAC. I’m considering an upgrade from a Holo Spring 1 KTE Dac. It’s paired with ... | |

| A Newcomer to Digital Looking to Upgrade My Dac, Tubes? Ideas? Schiit Yggdrasil is a DAC you can check out. | |
| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC A Kitsune Holo KTE DAC, Level 2 or 3 would do just fine.As people upgrade to the Holo Mays, they are available in your price range. | |

| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @verdantaudio-Following your DAC shootout with great interest. Which of the DACS would you match with ARC REF 75 and REF5SE?TIA!David | |
| Ayre Codex (former) Owners, what did you move on to? Still have my Codex. Agree about the wonky control button. I moved onto a Holo Springs ladder DAC. | |
| Audio Research I/50 For someone who owns ARC separates and is downsizing, it's interesting. Anyone notice the signal tubes are 6922's. Wonder why? This gives the owner an opportunity to voice the unit to their tastes. |
