First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship
@shmeet It will be interesting to see if the Musetec preamp MH-SA001 has a special synergy with the 006 when both are fully broken in. Please keep us posted.

@noelpastor I’m in south Florida in the winter where I have the 006. If you're nearby, I suggest buying the X-30 on Amazon, breaking it in, and bring it over to my house to compare. If the x30 lost the competition, you could return it within 30 da...

@shmeet  I understand you bought the Musetec preamp. Can you describe it's sound and how it effects the 006 presentation?

@shmeet As @sns  suggested, you should ask if they will send both and allow you to return one.   
Has anyone compared the Opticalrendu streamer to the upgraded Opticalrendu Deluxe?
@boulder_bob Thanks for finding this thread. I have provided excerpts below to make it easier for future readers. In essence one new user complained that before break-in the Opticalrendu Deluxe was cold sounding compared to his Zen Stream. The man... 
I am checking out these DAC's for my system
@shmeet This is off topic, but could you tell us more about you experience with the Mustec preamp? I have never seen a review of it. What tube preamplifier do you have that it equals? Thanks.

@brbrock  I have not seen your thread where you said the 006 might be fatiguing, but just to be clear, I briefly was bothered by certain high frequency sounds like violins during break-in being harsh. This passed. My final conclusion is that I hav... 
Sonore Signature Rendu SE
@brianclark1969 I assume you are referring to the old signature SE version, not the current deluxe version. Is that correct?

@brbrock couldn't find it on the website either. You could email Jinbo at Musetec:  bleerock@126.com.

@dlevi67  Welcome to the forum. Based on the sound you are looking for (“. . . both analytical and synthetic abilities: I want to be able to hear individual instruments or voices _if I want to,_ but I also need to hear the overall musical piece a...

@wynnytsky  Thanks for your suggestion. I went through a lot of ups and downs over the first five weeks of break-in. Some were no doubt due to changes in sound. Others due to my own impatience and moods during listening. After about five weeks bot...

@sns  First, thank you for the time and effort. I think it is clear that your evaluation of the Harmony versus the 006 has had some dramatic ups and downs on the way to deciding which you find superior. Can you say a little more specifically why y...

@melm  Can you explain in more detail what you are experimenting with. It sounds interesting. Are you building a network bridge/streamer that converts an ethernet signal to I2S?  
Holographic DAC With Air And Decay
I agree with @fsonicsmith1 and am going to add an observation.  Yes, holography, air, and decay are in or absent from the recordings and should not originate or be manipulated by the dac. In my experience you want to prioritize resolution over ana...
