@lordmelton, thanks for the recommendation on the cable - good info. My system is a bit of a work in progress, no optical isolation as yet. I have been reading the recommendations re optical isolation with interest, and am looking forward to addin...

hi @lordmelton, Mine arrived recently. Haven’t really had a chance to check it out yet so don’t have any impressions yet (and I have only basic cables for it so far, so it will be something a process) I ordered from Shenzhen Audio. Fwiw, mine ar...

Likewise I have a LKS USB-100 on order, and plan to use it with a third party LPS. Can someone pls confirm - is the DC input on the USB-100 center positive?

Likewise, I would prefer and choose better sound vs better spec.s if it does come down to that. I think that all of use who enjoy this DAC feel this way. Who knows, maybe his investigation just might lead to even more refinement, and further eleva...

Btw, also I didn't state that the DA005 doesn't meet standards, or that ASR doesn't like the measured results (which is definitely true :-). What I pointed out was IF (and I emphasized the IF) the measured performance is correct, then it doesn't ...

@lordmelton, please relax. I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but it is quite incorrect.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@lordmelton, please re-read. Yes, I have listened to this DAC, and like it. I don't recall stating that I couldn't hear the difference in cables or otherwise - did I say that somewhere? However _IF_ it turns out to be true, I don't appreciate eq...

@melm, thanks for obtaining & sharing that. A thoughtful and constructive response, imo. @sns, agree, was wondering the same thing, that’s the big question :-). It will be great to see / hear what measurement results and what changes if any J...

@melm, thanks for that. Right, philosophy and approach aside, one should be able to expect that the unit should meet its published specs, under at least some - ideally normal/standard, test conditions.

@dbb, thanks. Yep, plenty of opinions on this topic for sure.

Fwiw, I find the difference between what I hear in some cases (including this one), and the measured results quite interesting. If anyone knows of a place (specific forum/threads, website, etc.) where an _open minded_ discussion and exploration o... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Fwiw, I think it's great to have multiple really good options, and impressions from people regarding what they've found to work well in the different approaches. Good discussion, imo. As a result I at least plan to try a bit of both approaches - ...

Has anyone tried a Matrix X-SPDIF2 with the DA005 via the HDMI interface? If so, impressions regarding the sound?
