| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The LKS converts and reclocks the digital signal. And perhaps more importantly, it does this powered by its own power supply that is separate from the DAC’s power supply. I am not aware of ANY DDC in the market, regardless of price, that doe... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Pink Faun builds an I2S bridge (similar to USB card) which can be used with any ATX motherboard with PCIe slots. This for folks on the DIY route. I wanted to try one for a long time when I had PS Audio DS and the Terminator but it had limitations... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns +1 on your post. This is exactly what I was trying to say in my earlier post as well. There is much to be had from the USB and with the right implementation it will sound very good. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton I am not sure what server you are running. Its possible that the server doesn't have a good optimized usb implementation and that is why you prefer the i2s ? With a good usb implemented on the server side, the tables can turn up-side d... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g Yes, I understood that, I was just relating the AQ to WW in general sense, presuming same metallurgy so perhaps same sound signature with all cables of that particular model. Its possible I could be wrong here? I could be wrong but I ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I wasn’t talking about the usb cable at all. In fact I didn’t like the WW platinum, neither the AQ diamond in my setup and I have gone through a fair share of 8-10 different brands. My current favorite for the usb cable is the one from NA. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton burn-in of cables and components are real whatever the skeptics says. Most of the time in my systems, the sound becomes intolerable during the break-in process - they would be harsh, no bass, exaggerated midrange, collapsed soundstage ... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? Hifi prices are already outrageous and will only go up. Many manufacturers have already increased their prices and more to follow, even in the upcoming recession. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns I don’t think i2s is the solution to all the problems. The only reason why i2s is provided in today’s DAC is just because its a native interface to the DAC chip and hence easier to implement. Something along the lines of MSB pro-isl might be ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I own a FW SIT3 as well and its a wonderful sweet sounding amp. Another SS Amp that gets my recommendation and sounds very similar to my SET is the Enleum 23R. Very impressed with it. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC what made you choose the Sonore ultradigital over others ? Sonore products are ok but never sound bigger in my setup. For small/desktop system, they might be very good but not if you have a bigger one. The Singxer, AudioGD, Gustard, Denafrips has ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC as for the standard or the lack of it, it has evolved into couple different ones - PS Audio, Rockna, Gustard. Most manufacturers are following PS audio and some, like Denafrips has configurable pins assignments. Funny thing I still remember when ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Mojo Audio is absolutely correct. I2S is primarily meant for chip-to-chip connection which typically is few cm. The longer the traces the more it suffers signal integrity. However, I think the external connection that most are using with audio DDC... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton if you really want to take the i2s over hdmi to its maximum level, take a look the Wireworld platinum series hdmi cables. Always have the shortest run possible from the DDC to the DAC. The i2s is the native interface to most dac chip (... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g Totally agree on the usb galvanic isolation. What amazes me is so many of these off the shelf servers/streamers use usb off motherboards! How do they have the nerve to charge these prices for crap usb outputs, this is what gives usb bad... |
