| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC So what it your hypothesis here- that a lower signal to noise ratio yields a more "musical" sound? That deviations from linearity produce a more three-dimensional soundstage? Topping probably uses a lot of negative feedback in their analog output ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC | Despite Daniel Weiss' white paper regarding his digital volume control being as good or better than the best pre-amps, it has been proven to be grossly inaccurate. Do you mean proven by experimental data or another paper, or does this refer to ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC | He must be well aware that the 005 takes 6-8 weeks to fully burn in, maybe more. The major issues found with distortion and jitter in this unit will not be impacted by burn in.. | This is a peculiarity of all ESS chips, which cannot be heard ... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Fascinating description. It is hard to think of a DAC with signal-to-noise, linearity, distortion, and other measurements that far surpass human hearing - such as the May - as "omitting" the details of a recording. There must be something about th... | |
| Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x I listened to the 507 with the Spendor 7.2 at a local hifi shop last year - very nice sound. The 509 and 590 were not readily available. Then borrowed the 507 to take home and tried with my Merlin VSMs in same size room as yours, Excellent. As go... | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? Agree with above about the esotar - it’s the reason I keep lugging my old Merlin vsm around for so long - despite their awkward BAM module. To me this tweeter hits that perfect balance between attack and decay - the decay is like that of 20 year o... | |
| channel separation Interesting. It sounds like channel separation may not be causally related to sound quality, but can this provide some evaluative metric of the underlying engineering? For example, the Pass XP-22 preamp measured >110 db separation below 4 kHz... |
