| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns you will be surprised to know that the performance of motherboard usb really depends on a lot of variables, like the motherboard, chipset used, quality of onboard clock, Operating system used etc and off-coarse the big demon power supply. I h... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now DDC | Denafrips At least I believe they function as streamers. I don’t believe DDC’s are called streamers. DDC are "Digital to Digital Converter" which means they convert from one protocol to another, or from one digital interface to another d... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now Does it support wifi? No but wifi is bad for audio anyways. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC In my server the JCAT XE USB card adds only 10% of the improvement that can be had from the server when powering from the mother power. Another 10% improvement when powering it with a high quality LPS. The majority comes from the s/w & network... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC AFAIK, the 005 is not a NOS dac and has an in-built SRC which can't be bypassed. All external s/w based conversion may either be not beneficial or might have a -ive impact on the SQ or you may not see any difference depending on the bit rate and r... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now Not real worth much ,not Roon ready ,power supplies are not that great as well as power regulation , Its says Roon Ready as well as Roon bridge, which is a bit confusing. They are both different and usually you would have one or the other. I... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @willgolf what wires and connectors are you using for the Helix pc ? A week back a friend bought 3 Helix power cords with different connectors (some are quiet expensive) but cheap wires. For the price, they put many expensive power cords to shame,... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread Then I hope to test the Takumi on my Inakustic Power conditioner and may be the Lampi. @willgolf are you using the Inakustik 3500P or the newer one in your system ? I use a 3500P and currently looking to upgrade its power cord. Do you mind aski... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns and @melm thanks for the recommendation. I've only used diy power cables based on recipes @willywonka has developed over the past few years. They're called Helix Image, the particular recipes I've been using are the best power cables I... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Any of the owners experimented with power cords with the 005 ? I have couple in my arsenal that I wanted to try but thought of asking if you have a preference ? Btw, at one time I owned 3 Furutech Flux 50 NCF version but I didn't keep any of t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm yes, I completely understand. I read through their website about it but honestly this type of architecture is nothing new - many many have implemented separating out the digital and analog completely over the years. Playback Design MPD8 has... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The Amanero board within the Musetec does the conversion from USB to I2S just like the external boards. It does that with an excellent power supply using super-capacitors, and clocks... Yes, all USB boards, Amanero or XMOS or JLSounds does t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC yes, you would be surprised what a great front end can do to a DAC. Many times we change DAC thinking that it will bring better sound and more than often its the source that limiting the DAC from performing to its full potential. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns I am talking about the power supply feeding the PF/Jcat usb/I2S card. The network card (I use Jcat net Xe as well) is equally important. The ATX power supply is a whole different ball game and that power supply is as much critical in the equ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g Very interesting. Assuming you have atx board, why don't you try Pink Faun I2S board to compare with Jcat usb? if I (or anyone) want to try a Pink Faun, you need to try the one with ultra OCXO clocks, otherwise a Jcat is far better ... |
