Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton no offense taken, you could be right, I might have old-man hearing (I am 59). The guys over on ASR certainly have suggested as much more than once. BTW the dude on here who has returned his 005 is not a hero over on ASR, all he has sai... | |
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Err my last post which contained an expletive was deleted by the moderator, the main point of that post was to support @toddk31 and his return of his 005 on principal based on the fact he purchased it partly?/mainly? because of the Jinbo’s publish... | |
Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 Parasound gear is nowhere near Gryphon. The Gryphon 120 and Luxman 509 are on another level from the JC5. I auditioned the 120 and 509 extensively and went with the Gryphon 300 only because my speakers are a tough load. The 120 is a sweeter soundi... | |
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC As per some others here I feel that Jinbo should only publish consistently reproducible measurements, otherwise it is difficult for potential new customers to trust him otherwise. I get the temptation for a small company to publish attractive spec... | |
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I just bought the Topping D90SE (ASR's darling DAC) as a baseline means of a/b comparisons between my Musetec, Lumin P1, and Terminator II, will be doing this experiment for some time probably before I will have something meaningful to say, will c... | |
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm yes the Musician operation is undercutting Denafrips’ worldwide distributor Vinshine (Singapore based) on price/performance/build in cahoots with Denafrips. As in Musician is Denafrips’ B brand and another means of creating work and revenue ... | |
Thinking Hybrid Integrated. BAT makes a good hybrid | |
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @milpai I didn't "bad mouth" anybody - I just voiced my frustration with folks who haven't heard the Musetec in their system opining about it. I recommend just trying it in one's rig to see if it synergizes. After all, it's affordable (for me at l... | |
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @milpai one look at the internals of each DAC should give you somewhere to start answering your question why the Musetec is comparatively expensive. Parts, topology and build quality are on another level entirely. RE: Amir and the ASR cult - it'... | |
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm sorry I meant no disrespect towards Jinbo, I was just trying to say (and apparently badly) that a little extra incentive might help move things along, as mentioned all my dealings with him have been entirely satisfactory. | |
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @turcoda it seems your unit must be somewhat defective. When I got mine going first time with DSD the lock with the standard DPLL settings didn't work consistently, I tinkered and found settings that did work, and my unit improved in 24 hours to t... | |
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I use a Lumin U1 as source and a Singxer DDC to run I2S into the 005 and have zero DPLL problems, I can use almost any DPLL setting I want. A/B testing the USB/I2S inputs has me undecided about which I prefer, but I am leaning I2S. The 005 is a bi... | |

CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Former CD owner sold out to now stream exclusively and damn happy to have switched as I now listen to as much new music as I do my old music.As importantly the switch/server/ddc/dac chain that I spent $15K on sounds as good as my buddy's $25K Esot... | |
New Stereo Times review on CODA CSiB Integrated Amplifier Fellow CODA owner here, bought from Al at HiFi Art in Canada, great guy to deal with btw, had the No 8 and sold it to buy a CSiB so I could have a good enough preamp to get an "all CODA" sound signature.My next step for my main system after my div... |
