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.

@sns I feel your description perfectly captures what I am hearing. We’ll said. I am curious if you will find even further improvements as you reach 500 hours.

It does take a leap of faith to buy the 006 when it is not promoted or professionally reviewed. Still the 005 did get some traction eventually. It seems from the forums and the for sale ads that those who took the leap with the 005 were glad they did. Maybe the same will happen with the 006.

I would suggest potential purchasers contact the company directly to see if a discount is offered. In the past the factory direct price on the 005 was discounted. I've seen some discounted prices on ebay too, but know nothing of those vendors. 

The Musetec MH-DA006 is now available from Aoshida

I bought my Gustard A26 from them through their Amazon store and the service was excellent. They had the older LKS/Musetec stuff on their site but no 006 so I emailed them asking why. Anyways it is available from them now

 

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?
