| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns i am glad that I was able to get out of the Copper ethernet and savings for the card as well as an expensive Ethernet cable. I still have the jcat xe (non-Evo) version lying around. I was thinking of upgrading the jcat usb xe to the Evo versi... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship sns @debjit_g Denafrips is going thru upgrading gear have they said that they are going to upgrade the GAIA or is it at a level that their is not much left to upgrade? I have not heard they said about upgrading Gaia. In fact they have also... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @brbrock For what it’s worth, some of DACs I owned, PS Audio Direcstream, Denafrips Terminator, Mytek Brooklyn, Mivera Purestream, Matrix Audio Element X (excellent measuring DAC), 4 Lampizator models (Amber 3, Baltic 3, Baltic 4, Atlantic TRP), A... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @debjit_g You mentioned the Musetec and Mojo DAC's are different. Can you explain how they are different. Can you mention some of the DAC's you have had in the past? @brbrock as I was mentioning earlier I can’t justify a real comparison bet... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship I’d suggest it silly to spend $1800 on ddc with laptop The whole selling point of DDC is exactly that. You don’t need to spend on a better source and cheap laptop will work since the DDC will be shielding the nastiness and reclocking the signal... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @no_regrets agreed on all fronts :-) I am very familiar with chokes and how the quality matters or not. I have employed them in several diy power supplies powering digital things like servers, switches, JCAT USB card, Clocks etc - started with off... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @brbrock yes, that's correct. I have been using the 005 for sometime now and as many here, I have gone through a fair share of DACs along the way but 005 has stayed the longest. When time comes, I will try to write sometime up though I am not an e... | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? A PP 300b amplifier can make about 35 Watts which will be far more satisfying your speakers. @atmasphere thank you for your guidance. As an amp manufacturer yourself, you have been very helpful with the education. Quiet contrary to many manuf... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @no_regrets good to hear you are loving the X-24AM. If I am not mistaken, X-24AM and X SE are exactly the same DAC ? I agree with you that NCZ, though have a better quality choke, need not sound better in one's system. It's a matter of finding the... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 yes, Lampizator switched from Amanero to JLSounds a while back. I have owned couple of Lampi models pre (Amanero) and post move to JLSounds and the JL indeed sounded cleaner and more natural as far as I remember. However, I have Musetec 00... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Another excellent American made DAC Audio Mirror Tubadour has I2S as well. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns looks like you have put a lot of effort in your digital frontend. Bravo! I would like to know how critical are upstream components to Gaia. I suspect better the upstream, the better Gaia performs. Would it be possible to use a laptop or some... | |
| Six DAC Comparison There are a small group of Chi-Fi manufactures who started promoting I2S and the audio-fools bought into it hook-line-and-sinker. I don’t completely agree with this. I2S is not a Chi-Fi branding but I would agree that most of Chi-Fi DACs suppor... | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? @donsachs I have no doubt that a 24w/ch PP 300b is more than what I would need. I know Clayton's original Spatial Audio very well as I had their open baffle at sometime. The amp looks beautiful and would love to own them, however, its priced out o... | |
| 300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel? @atmasphere thanks for all the info. That’s helpful and appreciate taking the time to educate some of us. I don’t think the Cube drivers are horn loaded but they do have a whizzer cone. In EU they are typically paired with Tektron 211 PSET amps at... |
