Aurender Dac upgrade
Streaming is cool, amazing what is at your fingertips.   I bought an Aurender A10 as my one box solution for my first foray into streaming.  Little did I know that I would soon step into deeper water and acquire additional digital technology.   ...

I ordered an lks 100 today.  I have an lps for it.  I Iikely need another RJ 45 cable to try.

Well, I love my 005.  And my SIT-3, my joule LA 300, my benz ebony LP-s, my steelhead and my joule VZN 80,all of which likely measure poorly but sound divine.  My ears are more important than anyone's test bench. I returned the singxer today.  Af...

Yup.  The sonore does as does the su-6.  The sonore sounds better.

lordmelton, I set the switches pursuant to the instructions included with the su-6.

All can say about ASR measurements is I listen to my 005 in my system, not to 005 through Amir's equipment under his conditions.  I couldn't care less what he concludes or what is discussed over at ASR.   If they listened through resolving systems...

I received a singxer SU-6 yesterday and immediately put it in the system in place of the sonore ultradigital between my aurender and my 005.  Immediately, I noticed what I can best describe as a strident, edgy and "bad digital" character.  The sys...

melm:   I am comparing ethernet into the Aurender with its USB out to the Musetec (obviously bypassing the Aurender's DAC) with ethernet into the Aurender with its USB out to the Sonore and its I2S into the Musetec.  Even given the additional co... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I want to report my experience using a sonore ultradigital between my aurender A10 with I2s output into my 005, versus straight usb.  I received the sonore several days ago.  Upon initial installation, my immediate reaction after 5 seconds of musi... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I ordered the sonore because folks seem to like them.  I'll see how it works for me and have the option to return it if I find it less than satisfying. I am a fan of joule products and also have an la 150 and a vzn 80.     I really love the Sit... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I will be able to add my impressions shortly and return the sonore products if there is no improvement.  My current streaming system uses a stand alone asus mesh node powered by a teredac LPS into which I plug an AQ vodka ethernet cable into an a... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Well, in response to the discussion of is2 converters I ordered a sonore ultradigital with lps, and a silver starlight 5.2 hdmi cable.  My system is sounding excellent with a cardas usb cable but I will give the is2 input a shot.  If it doesn't re... 
Galvanic isolation revisited.
Do you have a link to where you purchased it?  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
True, but quite frankly this DAC blows me away.  Granted, my last DAC was a dinosaur, but it was a good dinosaur.  Analog has been my thing for a long while and I know good sound.  I've bought so many "class A" and unqualifiedly spectacularly revi... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
My DAC is really settling in and becoming very consistent and very smooth and detailed.  I've run it and the cardas usb for about 100 hours over the past week.   My streaming setup has been sounding excellent with an occasional seemingly recording...
