Dac and computer connections
Denafrips Terminator works great with their DDC (Hermes, Gaia) and when connected over I2S, especially if you are using a laptop as a source. USB can sound great but it needs a lot more effort to get it right and quickly becomes very expensive.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Do you keep the DAC on 24x7 or put it to standby when not playing ? If in standby, are the critical circuits powered on or does it take sometime for the DAC to sound the best, like many solid state amps do ?  
Lumin U1 Still Relevant??
If you use Roon extensively, Aurrender is out of equation. You might consider the Innous as well.  
Lumin U1 Still Relevant??
u2 mini is a replacement for u1 mini not the u1. Just to differentiate between the two, the U1 and U1/U2 mini are quiet different. The U1 is substantially better hardware than the mini version and has a better power supply which is more critical i... 
Is there a DAC ranking list?
i always follow the advice of people who have 1 post... i ordered all those dacs from amazon just now... maybe you should just frequent ASR more often than here now that you have those DACs....Lol  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC

For Roon core, I would advice a Innuos or Antipodes over the Nucleus. Even the low end Innous would be an improvement and you can directly connect to the DAC. A usb reclocker, like a Phoenix, in between would take things even further. The other op...

I agree that listening is important. For example, Revel Speakers uses extensive measurements in their product development but only release products when they come out on top of double blind listening tests against the competition. Personally, I w...

@david_ten David, not sure what's going on but I can see them from my browser. I am not very familiar posting images here. I simply linked those images from an external site using the "Image" icon and suspect I might not have done it properly. Do ...

I’m genuinely curious why there are some audiophiles that don’t like to hold companies to account for their marketing?   I bet the list would be extremely large. If you want to enjoy music, the key is to audition in your home, in your listeni...

I have the Fidelium as well. Clarity of this wire is in spades. I will also be trying some DIY cables out of pure copper (ofc/occ) after I have some understanding from Grzegorz (per David's suggestion). The good part is due to the low power requir...

Otherwise, pursue a set of measurements for each and every component and be secure in knowing you have the best measuring system.   and possibly risk the lack of musical enjoyment factor that we all are primarily after 😁 If that’s not the goal, ...
