| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @darcman I'm not familiar with those specific ones, but the skys the limit with USB cables into the Phoenix. I used Dual Sablon USB, but moved onto Network Acoustics Muon. When you say Chi Fi, I presume you mean fake AQ? | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @darcman the Phoenix USB reclocker would be beneficial, but you’ll need good power and USB cables in and out of it. I used to have a similar setup to you (au now have a DIY ‘Faiko’, Taiko extreme) - it still needs a good USB out of DDC. So sorry ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Great write up - many thanks! | |
| Six DAC Comparison What I have realised is that everything matters @trivema The server/DDC, the power cables and conditioning used, interconnects also have a strong influence. In a very revealing system you can adjust the sound from a DAC in a noteworthy manner, ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @fuzzbutt17 It’s an intelligent design. Can you explain more about what you mean in the differences of how a pure C vs CLC power supply store energy? ”The capacitive power supplies used in most DACs don't store current the way a choke/capacito... | |

| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? I think that's fair comment @audphile1 What is interesting though is that interconnects seem to be the most important piece of the chain, silver in this position provides an upwards tilt to the frequency response - silver in other positions seem... | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? Purist Audio Design Dominus Luminist is a very nice suggestion - I'll look it up. | |
| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST I've owned all of the Chord DACs, Qutest is by far the best price / performance ratio, I didn't think the TT2 was a significant improvement upon it. After market power supply and really good music server, usb cable and interconnects are a very go... | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? I think we have some very good answers to my question - I’m happy to leave it at that. | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? Apologies, but I’m not sure telling everyone about my system is actually that relevant - I think we can talk about it at component level. I’ve had lots of really good feedback on this and fuses, which is what I was looking for. My system is so b... | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? Someone else mentioned to me about the Gustard fuses - apparently they’re darker sounding and useful for tuning. | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? @bolong interested in your comments about Anticables gold/silver alloy - what other interconnect have you tried. Anticables look good, but no shielding?!? |
