Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I was on the phone with Midwestern Audio and I thought he had me set it to fast filter.  Unless I heard him wrong which is possible.

Update on mine, not much to tell. I listened for a little bit but my main speakers are out of the system because I am burning in a pair of Polk R600s for my son. I have about 120 hours on mine. I had some Pink Floyd on, It sounds very detailed, ev...

lordmelton, yes, I after I hit the breaker switch the other day, I plugged everything into a power strip.  I was going to introduce one component at time back to the Equi-core but didn't get a chance.  I order a pair of Polk Audio R600s for my son... 
Feel free to talk me off the ledge
The plague for audiophiles is so much of this gear is so transparent and high resolution, it exposes a lot of our recordings into a listening experience that is not as we would like.  Probably what, 75% to 85% of recordings are not "audiophile".  ...

does the unit burn in  on standby mode?, because I was playing on sending a signal through mine 24/7 for about 3 weeks.

sns, my amp hasn't been plugged into the Euqi Core in months.  I was just commenting that the Equi Core handled everything including my amp with no trouble, I didn't clarify that it hadn't been in there in awhile.  It sounds way better out of the ...

wait what, I don't want to unplug something just to get another unit started.up.  Forgive my ignorance, but I used to plug my power amp along with everything else into it an never had a problem but now it can't candle super capacitors out in a DAC?

Thanks for your input guys.  I'll probably move on for the Equi-Core and look at getting something else.  Maybe a Puritan Labs.

thanks jc4659, yeah, I'll be patient, I know the deal on this as I have followed others break in notes.

okay, listening right now, it does sound harder.  I have been listening at lower volumes because my tinnitus has been bothering me, but as I juice the volume it is a little harder/brighter, at lower volumes it sounds relaxed.   The good news is my...

Just put my 005 in the system a couple of hours ago.  First impressions are it is smooth and spacious.   I didn't hear the brightness others speak of, but maybe it's just smoother compared to the DAC card in my Aesthetix integrated amp.  I'll let ...

Actually, shortly after I posted that, I got a tracking number.  I bought mine from Midwest Audiophile in Indiana.  They even sent me a battery for the remote in the mail. Nice!  
Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz
Reading different threads on this, Qubuz seems to be mentioned a lot.  I wonder if there is something to that?  I never had tinnitus until a couple of weeks ago and now it's driving me nuts.   I feel like I can't even listen to my system.  I have ...

Mine still hasn't shipped yet, I ordered on the 10th, which is fine that it hasn't as I am in no hurry.    Maybe just an indicator how busy they are.
