| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @yakbob I feel ASR's approach is not useful. From the Musetec website on the 006: The design of all functions of the DA006 only takes up one-fifth of the entire design period, or even less. A lot of time is spent on the selection of components... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @melm Good to hear from you. I expected that improvements in my 005 dac would not be a path to improving my system since I perceived the 005 as the strongest link in the chain. When the 006 became available I couldn’t resist buying it. I am also... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @jc4659 Your experience doesn't surprise me. I would think the first place to go to increase dynamics would be the preamp and amp. Who knew so much could be accomplished through the dac. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns Thanks for the kind words. I should add that on two occasions I had brief playing disruptions when listening through my streamer, an Ultrarendu. They were cured by rebooting and reloading the 006 driver and checking and re- entering the st... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship After putting on over 400 hours breaking in the new MH-DA006, I listened for the purpose of comparing it to its predecessor. The 005 received thorough review, comparison, and comment in two threads in this forum. In summary, many felt, at a price ... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @gavin1977 Yes. It has a digital volume control. Like the 005, probably the best sound will be with a preamp. | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Musetec has come out with an 006 model which is said to be a significant improvement over the 005. I've put in an order for it. | |
| Does MiniDSP SHD Studio play high resolution files? @mike_in_nc Thanks. I think that is the definitive answer. In theory there would be some loss of resolution when downsampling to 96 k, but probably not in practice. Still, this gives me some pause in deciding to buy it. | |
| Does MiniDSP SHD Studio play high resolution files? @fuzztone When you play DSD files from your hard drive, is the dirac room correction running? | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? @ricevs Wouldn't it be better to cross over lower than 400hz because, according to Wikipedia "The voiced speech of a typical adult male will have a fundamental frequency from 90 to 155 Hz, and that of a typical adult female from 165 to 255 Hz. " | |
| No love for Legacy Audio I owned a pair of Signature SEs for a few years. I thought they would be my end game speaker. I was particularly impressed with their air motion tweeter and ability to be placed close to the wall due to their sealed enclosure. Over time they seeme... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Has anybody listened to classical, large orchestra works , chamber music, and unamplified (acoustic) vocals on the Caladans. It sounds like a great speaker. Bass and sound stage seem to be its strong suits. Clarity and neutrality are among my pri... | |
| What do you all think of ADS/Braun speakers? In their day, they were great. I had a pair of L610s. I don't think that can compete with modern speakers. | |
| Problems with the IFI Zen Stream.. What's a better Alternative? @cagma7 First I used the upgraded ifi ps. Later, in my Florida system I upgraded to lps unit I bought on ebay. In the summer house setup, that I have been comparing with the Ultrarendu, I use a Topping P50 Linear Power Supply. The Ultrarendu uses... | |
| Problems with the IFI Zen Stream.. What's a better Alternative? This is an update. I finally figured out that the problem was not with the Zen Stream at my summer location. It was with the ethernet switch. Once I replaced it, no drop-offs. In the course of trying to solve the problem, I bought a used Ultraren... |
