Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@midwesternaudio I would assume you welcome inquiries and technical questions about the DAC from those interested in learning more about the Musetec DA005.  Also, any comparisons with other DACS would be welcome here too with the usual caveat that... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
FWIW, I fire up the DA005, my preamp, and Pass Labs x-350.5 amp all within 10 seconds of each other!  Those Pass caps are pulling lots of current no doubt.  No problems.  I'd work around the Equi-Core for the time being until you figure out what t... 
Rose Hifi Network Streamer RS150
Impressive and not glitzy! I like!  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
That's odd. I'd avoid the Equi Core until you get that figured out. You have nice equipment. Leave the DA 005 on standby when not in use. The hardness that you hear will fluctuate and then disappear. The DAC allowed me to hear very subtle cha...

@kclone Congratulations!  You're in for a treat and I don't think it will take 400 hours for it to all come together.  How are you using the DAC, with a streamer, computer, transport?  What cables and inputs are you using?  If you have any questio... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Here is my experience using the usb input to the DA005. I am using a MacBook Pro laptop running on its battery until I get a dedicated streamer. Before the DA005 I was using an Ayre Codex DAC. I found that an UpTone IsoRegen benefitted the usb wit...

@yyzsantabarbara if you are truly on their payroll then you better get your boss' name correct:  MUSETEC! 😉😁  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@btscott When it is fully broken in, maybe you can share more details about how you are using it i.e. with a transport, streaming from a laptop or dedicated streamer, etc. Also, which inputs sound best to you? I have shared some of my findings in ... 
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
@atmasphere Any plans to develop a higher power version of these amps, or a stereo ~350 wpc doubling into 4 ohms class D (similar to bel canto black ex) with the same sonic profile as your new monos?  I'm asking because I wonder if these 100 watt ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I just wanted to provide an update on my experience with the Musetec DA-005.  I am running two inputs into the DAC: one from my CD player being used as a transport and one from my MacBook Pro playing local files using Audirvana and streaming using...

@tweak1 How are you liking your Audiolab 6000 CDT? 
upgrade rec from meridian 508.24
@lewdis I wanted to follow up on the meridian repair. I spoke with Mark at The Repair Shop and he thinks the laser needs to be replaced and I agree. The player has been showing "No Disc" with increasing frequency.  Estimated cost is $500 plus ship... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@melm I'd say close to 6 weeks. I'm slow since I toggle between analog and digital. Plus I have two other smaller systems.  I have stopped counting since I am no longer hearing noticeable changes in the Musetec DAC. I'd imagine one can reasonably ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@blang I am currently running everything native, no upsampling.  I have over 100 hours actual listening on my DA-005 and hear very little change at this point.  This DAC is clear and smooth/fluid, musical and natural.  I place mine in standby mode...
