| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Hmmm... this thread is beginning to remind me of the Tekton threads from a few years ago. Same plot at work here .... a handful of fans singing praises of the brand, small sample size, anyone who dares to criticize the brand is ’dealt with’ approp... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Wow! Thank you for sharing the information @pt999 I was ready to pull the trigger on the 005. The plan was do compare it to my Luxman and return if it didn’t cut the mustard. Surprised no one else bothered to mention this important fact. For me... | |
| Isoacoustics Orea vs Townshend Seismic Pod on Components @ryder I ordered the Nobsound springs, arriving tomorrow. I have a few questions … 1. Which component stands to benefit the most? Dac, amp, or streamer? Eventually I might get more sets but want to start small. 2. My amp is the Audio Hungary... | |
| DAC Upgrade About the Audio Mirror Tubadour III ... I don't know why Vlad stopped producing the $1550 version. The SE version is out of reach for many folks and now it competes in a price bracket where there are lots of wonderful DACs available for about the ... | |
| DAC Upgrade Agree about Friz Carrera BE not needing a subwoofer. The bass is just right -- tight and punchy with nothing flabby about it. Fritz has developed a fantastic speaker! A steal at his asking price if you ask me. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara We had a DAC in common in the past, which we both liked. The 005 is a different animal. Incredible sound, it just keeps sounding better with more hours. I must be around 200 now. Give it a much burn-in as possible in your 30-da... | |
| Trouble Understanding an Ad. If the retail price is indeed $2500, then the seller's asking price makes no sense. In my experience, any dealer will give you 10% off of retail right off the bat. Most will go as high as 20% ... although, in today's post-covid audio dystopia all ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Also, since I'm using a tube integrated amp anyways (Audio Hungary Qualiton a20i), I think the 005 will provide the perfect yin for my yang :) | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Thank you for the valuable input! I have thought long and hard (for about 20 minutes, which is my upper limit nowadays it seems :)) about it and based on what I'm hearing it will be hard to justify spending an extra $2k+ on Holo Audio May. I like ... | |
| Trouble Understanding an Ad. It’s a used component. You should ask for at least 30% off. Otherwise, it’s an ok deal. Also ask the seller about the age. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns @melm thank you for answering my question. I was almost set to get the Holo Audio May Dac, but now I’m wondering if Musetec is a better buy. From what I’ve read so far I feel the May Dac is going to be more to my taste — bit more laid bac... | |
| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? @ja_kub_sz First I got an Innous Zenith MK3, then got a decent DAC (Musetec MH-DA005), now finishing it up with the Innuos Phoenix USB reclocker. I was previously considering the Holo Audio May DAC as my next purchase, but the positive feedba... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Has anyone done a direct comparison of this dac with Denafrips Terminator 2? Sorry if this was mentioned earlier and I missed the post. | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. By the way, I’ve heard really good things about QLN speakers. A friend owns QLN 3’s and thinks they are amazing. I bet the 5s are in a different league. I wish I could audition them but no local dealers near me. | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. @jerryg123 -- do you have a specific price point in mind? I currently have three streamers in my systems. Bluesound Node 2i (listed for sale on this site), Sonore opticalRendu, and Innuos Zenith MK3. I also did in-home auditions of the following m... |
