Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@toddk31 you bought the 005 solely based on measurements that was published by the manufacturer ?  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
The two images @lordmelton posted, I could see some more differences as well 1. A Mundrof cap near the digital input section removed in the 2nd image  2. Heat sinks from two chips near the analog section is removed from the 2nd image.   I am n... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@lordmelton this actually adds more confusion as to who has what version and how do they differentiate in sound or which one sounds better.   it would be worthwhile if the manufacturer clarifies when they switched and why its not called out - ha...

If you follow ASR, the rule of thumb is the DAC will likely sound great if it measures poorly over there 🤣 God knows what will happen if they start measuring Pass amps and tube gears. On a serious note, you can never win a battle over there and n... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@david_ten David, no I have not reached out to Grzegorz. In a hindsight I should have but most of the time these types of mods are not encouraged by manufacturers as it indicates a weakness in their products. Now that you mention, I will write to ...

@jayctoy thanks for the feedback. Where do I buy the Siltech from ? Any link ?  
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@ricevs i wasn’t looking for a free pair. I would really like to try it out if they aren’t exorbitantly expensive (I don’t really know what they the cost). Anyway, I could have easily hardwired the wire straight to the voice coil but didn’t do it ...

I recently changed the internal wires (which is like 20awg ?) of the Nenuphars with Vhaudio. I am using KLE banana plugs on the speaker end but after break-in the sound is just so much better and fuller. My rest of the system produces very detaile... 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
@verdantaudio Thanks for the thoughts on all these wonderful DACs. The DAC journey is indeed very exciting for many of us as we get out to hunt the ones that meets our taste. There are so many manufacturers these days that its impossible to auditi...

I have a mixed feeling with the SR Purple fuses. I had all Orange fuses upgraded to the Purple but now I am back to either stock or orange fuse on some of them. I would suggest that you run it for couple days and then reverse the direction - the s...

I guess someone will be along soon who has a true I2s output that can be switched between I2s and USB, we live in anticipation.   They exist today - Pink Faun and Antipodes. You can configure a Pink Faun server to be equipped with both I2S an...

@car123 though I don't have direct experience with ultradigital but I have had Sonore products, Singxer and other DDCs before. I would venture a guess and say that a Singxer or a Denafrips would be at a much higher level than the ultradigital. Sin... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
The LKS can perform its singular function without drawing power away from the DAC’s other responsibilities. I think there would be less noise kicked back to the DAC’s power supply as well.   @debjit_g I think there may be some confusion. The L... 
Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
The Tambaqui is a very neutral DAC and you are actually hearing the recording artifacts. Higher model Lampizator is not going to sugar coat a bad recordings, which most of the rock albums are. Those DACs will be more detailed and are supposed to b...
