LKS doesn't need driver, it will work with SMS-200 . Issue I see with LKS is non-configurable pin assignments on I2S, but this need not be and issue if dac has configurable pin assignment. I assume having ability for pin configuration not an issue for LKS and 005 since are same manufacturer. As to what ddc to purchase, I'd try to go for a better unit than LKS. don't believe clock in that unit superior to 005 clock. Laiv just came out with DDC, reasonable price, should be superior to LKS. If you were willing to go higher price, Denafrips Gaia, which I use, their Hermes DDC also nice. All those mentioned have configurable pin assignment in which case they will work with 005.
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.
