First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship


I have received the 006 almost a week ago and have been breaking it in. The price at Shenzhenaudio is $3,900.00 USD, $600 more than the 005. The ad copy states:

"DA006 is a new generation of flagship DAC developed by Musetec over three years and launched in 2024. During this period, it has undergone more than ten revisions and adjustments.

Compared to the previous DA005, the listening experience of DA006 has been improved in all aspects. DA006 has clearer and richer details, a stronger sense of texture, a more stable sound base, better detail control, a wider soundstage, fuller and more powerful, smoother and more natural. . ."

Some brief listening during break in has been very very positive. I will report back when it has run at least 300 hours.

@mitch2  Which of these DAC's have you heard?  I noticed you are doing a comparison in another thread with the Aero how is that coming along?  Is the Aero able to compete with the other DAC's?

@sns @dbb How does the MH-DA006 sound connected directly to an amp. I don't have a preamp.

Has anyone had a chance to listen to the Musetec 006 and any of the DAC's in the six DAC comparison done by Mithc2 to give a comparison.  

I was looking at the internals of the Musetec and they don't say on the website what clocks they use.  Does anyone know what clocks are being used?

Has anyone had the chance to listen to a 005 or oo6 Musetec and a Mojo Audio Mystique DAC.  Both of these DAC's intrigue me and I would like to here what someone has to say if they have had the chance to listen to these DAC's.

 

@sns @debjit_g  Denafrips is going thru upgrading  gear have they said that they are going to upgrade the GAIA or is it at a level that their is not much left to upgrade? 

@sns  Have you had a chance to listen to a Mojo Audio Dac to compare to the Musetec?

@car123 @sns  I have been following this thread for awhile.  I am looking for a good DAC and this has been one that I have been checking out.  I have also been looking at the Holo Audio May KTE and Mojo Audio Mystique X.  Has any of you had a chance to compare these.  They are 2 different types both with great reviews.

How much capacitance does the 006 have?  I looked at the website and can't find it.

In layman words the bigger the better the cleaner. Also if you can get it away from the other electronics the better.  

@dbb I was just curious and couldn't find it on the website.  I am comparing a few DAC's and this is one of them..

@car123 You say this is the best DAC you have had in your system.  Can you tell me what you have had before.

@shmeet That is quiet an upgrade from a  Geshelli to a Musetec006 and an innuos Pulsar.   

I looked all thru the thread for a comparison of the Musetec 006 with Gaia and the Terminator plus with Gaia.  Has anyone compared?
