| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns I completely agree regarding experiential evidence and I have no skin in the game either. I do think it's important to clarify that experiential evidence is only valid for the specific use case involved. That includes power, cabling, room ... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @melm Well stated, and spot-on. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns If USB is so flawed, why hasn't the market driven it to the trash bin? Every DAC manufacturer has the ability to provide an I2S and/or external clock input, yet most don't even though it would provide an enhanced revenue stream in the form ... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship Here's a summary of clock considerations from MSB: https://msbtechnology.com/dacs/clock-options/ To summarize, the most important aspect of clock implementation is the elimination of jitter and phase noise, not the type of clock and its supposed... | |
| DDC Recomendations @bulbous_blues I believe you're looking at the uDDC footnote under "External Master Clock Input" referring to *For USB and I²S inputs only. That footnote is for sample rates, and is unrelated to the external clock input. See the * for sample ra... | |

| Current quality of Rune @sls883 Thanks. If you were using the digital volume control in Roon, I thought that might be contributing to the "softness" you're experiencing. Clearly not the case. | |
| Current quality of Rune @sls883 Apologies if I missed it, but how are you controlling volume? | |
| LAIV Harmony @sns An Optical Rendu is a potential future purchase, the Micro is filling temporary duties. I have had a Signature Rendu SE with optical input in my system and it was great, but I was having network issues and wasn’t getting the full benefit. ... | |
| LAIV Harmony I agree with @sns. I actually have a network switch with SFP, so I run: Network Switch/SFP/Finisar Transceiver > Optical Fiber > Sonore Optical Module Deluxe > Ethernet > Sonore Micro Rendu > USB > LAiV Harmony DAC Optical iso... | |
| Current quality of Rune I’ve been into computer based audio for over 15 years. I’ve tried pretty much all the software during that time; Pure Music (Channel D), Audirvana, JRiver, Bit Perfect, Roon, and probably others that I’ve since forgotten. Based on my experiences,... | |
