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... 
Aurender Conductor latest fail…
Thanks clyde2.  I just downloaded 3.23 and it works like a charm.    
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I now have many dozens of hours on my 005 and I completely agree that it provides astonishing detail and incredible neutrality that I've never heard before both streaming and playing redbook CDs from my CEC tl 1.  It has been a bit of an up and do... 
Aurender Conductor latest fail…
I reinstalled conductor this morning and I'm having the same issue.  Thanks for the update re 3.23.  I think I'll wait a couple days and just use my iphone.   
Aurender Conductor latest fail…
My A10 started doing exactly that on my IPAD.  I reinstalled the app several times yesterday and am still having the problem.  I will delete and reinstall it tomorrow and see if the problem is remedied.  If not, I will create a support ticket.  So... 
Good cost effective USB cables for digital audio please
There are good deals around on XLO UltraPLUS 2.0 USB A-B Cable.  I've got one in rotation and it is a very good cable.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Thanks, melm.  I will report again after break in.  Thus far, it hasn't been a straight line.  Some moments, it seems to sound better than others.  But you know how that goes, it could be my ears, electric load on the lines or the grid, a new DAC,...

Aurender A10 for streaming and a musetac bidat for redbook CDs.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I just received my 005 from Jason at Midwest Audio.  He is a great guy, highly responsive, earnest and knowledgeable.  I highly recommend him.  He sent me a letter thanking me for my business and included a battery for the remote, which the manufa... 
Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat
Wow, 11 years between posts!  Is that a record?   I have a bidat, which John modified many years ago.  I have always loved that DAC, particularly when coupled with my CEC TL 1.  It presents a lovely, detailed, but un-digital like character.   ... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
I gave up on this mod.  I decided to pull the optical gizmos out and plug the A10 directly into my mesh node with vodka cable and it sounds a bit more resolving and natural than with the optical stuff, and obviously makes for less clutter.   If an... 
HiFi Rose RS250
I bought an aurender A10 and liked it so much a couple weeks later I bought a 250 for the second system.  I'm streaming tidal and qobuz and the available variety is truly mind bongling and wonderful.  Like any source, quality of the specific song/... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
I'm using the aurender dac.  I'm using stock ps on the fmcs for the moment.  I may try lps but my suspicion of no improvement is essentially twofold--the mesh node is pretty clean and is feeding only the aurender; and the aurender caching the sign... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
OK, my report.  I bought the two optical gizmos and a relatively short piece of optical cable to connect the two.  Running some supra from my mesh node into the first optical gizmo and then a 1.5 meter AQ vodka out of the second and into my aurend...
