| 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 ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I have a Matrix Audio X-SPDIF2 DDC that I had bought a long while for the PS Audio DS DAC. Tried briefly to feed 005 with an Audioquest I2S hdmi and compare with the USB - needless to say it was a big step down. So just moving to I2S doesn't neces... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I have the 005 for couple of weeks now and it sounds very good to me. I will say that at this price point, it surprised me and concur with what has been already said about this DAC. I am enjoying it as much. The way the USB sounds, I don't hav... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I heard the Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC with streaming card and Mola Mola integrated amp today with Dynaudio speakers. Honestly it didn't come close to the naturalness of the 005, it was harsh and bright and a much smaller soundstage. That of course ... | |
| 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 |
