| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @boxer12 Good to hear you're getting great results, I'll be getting a couple more funds permitting. Maybe it's too early to compare but how does the AR stack up against the Furutech? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC It's very common for a Hi-End pre-amp to reveal shortcomings throughout a system but I've heard the 005 with solid state pre-amps up to $40k and it still keeps performing at the highest level. Valves can paper over cracks but solid state will rev... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @batvac2 Two examples: https://alpha-audio.net/review/review-weiss-dac501-converter-streamer-preamp/ https://hifiplus.com/articles/weiss-medus-dac/ Maybe ask Amir to confirm it đ | |
| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? The '80s were bad, really bad, but I did manage to buy some decent music. From the '90s to now I haven't bought anything except re-issues because it's all trash. Last good "new" band I heard was the Old Crow Medicine Show. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara Apologies for the late reply regarding Coda/Benchmark pre-amps, I haven't heard either but I think I'm correct in saying the Coda is active and the Benchmark is a linestage. Both are very well regarded but I would expect the Coda ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @troidelover1499 Yes I totally agree with you it's very difficult to eat your own words when you find out that your darling DAC, which you have sung the praises of all over this forum, takes a knockout punch from an unknown $3k contender. There a... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I don't see this discussion as a who's best scenario but rather more as a paradigm shift in the industry where most if not all of these highly priced DAC offerings offer little to no performance advantage over Musetec, Holo May and Terminator. Tr... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC There is absolutely no benefit whatsoever in promoting the 005 over the Weiss, I can hear the howling and gnashing of teeth if just a hint was mentioned. I have compared the 501, 502 and the Medea to the 005 and I would choose the 005 in every ca... | |
| Coax or RCA question? The Marantz has both digital and analogue inputs so you can use both at the same time and switch on the fly and get direct comparison. | |
| Does upgrading you system have to be on a logarithmic curve? Most of my equipment I've bought at deep discount, either new or ex-demo. I built my first real hi-end system during the 1998 crash then built another during the 2008 crash. EUR,GBP and JPY are at very low discounts to the USD now and anything y... | |
| Hobby, Hobby, Hobby? I would call it a black hole with extended lapses of reason. | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience Aurender doesnât use Roon by design and choice, they have their own eco-system with nothing else interfering. Aurenderâs Conductor app does nothing whatsoever to influence the sound of streaming, internal hard drives or attached NAS. It purely ha... | |
| Magico M9 a ton of weight and a million dollar price tag $750,000 Magico are even more hyped up than Wilsons. You're not missing out on anything. | |
| Node2i to Aurender N100SCâŚWoW! @jl1ny Congrats on your Aurender purchase, they are definitely the reference when it comes to streaming/storage. Sad your thread got hi-jacked by the Aurender haters as so many do. Keep the faith and ignore the distractors. I have a N20...superb. | |
| EgglestonWorks Andra in nearfield? I have a pair of Andra III's which I am currently overhauling and building new crossovers. They are fantastic and I would never sell them, however you will need a big room and big amps. They are full-range speakers and then some..lol. I also have... |
