| Optimal lengths for USB and Ethernet cabling for digital audio USB 1.5m with seperate output tails, most DACs don't need USB power so tape over pin 1 in the output power tail, or pin 1 if it's an ordinary single cable. USB cables offer two way communication so length is an issue. My system uses Ethernet cab... | |
| Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you! @treynolds155 USB is ubiquitous in modern HIFI and unfortunately we're stuck with it until more mainstream manufacturers like PS Audio adopt I2s. Since we can only play native DSD over USB and I2s, these are our options, unless DSD is not importa... | |
| Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you! @treynolds155 Hi,You will get even better results if you convert the USB to I2s you can use this or similar: https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/l-k-s-audio-usb-100-usb-audio-interface-pcm384-dsd512-i2s-rj45-hdmi-coaxial-out-dsd512-with-crystek | |
| The worst sentence in audio writing @cd318 Go back to ASR you have absolutely no idea what is being discussed. | |
| McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm @osodelnorte I see you've gone full McTard. | |
| Oyaide Cables The current Oyaide top of the line power cable is the Vondita, which is less than one year old. It's an excellent cable, superior to previous cables. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @car123 Thank you, it's also very convenient having the I2s HDMI free to connect an Oppo or PS Audio I2s. I'll get my Oppo modded soon. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @budkine I'm using a Plixir 5vdc 4 amp power supply with a good ac mains power cord. I also use the Plixir Reference dc cable. The sound is significantly better than USB. I recommend a 0.5m Wireworld Starlight 8 Red, Ethernet RJ45 cable. Even u... | |

| Could the new Audender A30 be "the one" for a simple system? @wjt3 I'm sure the A20 and A30 are excellent and if you're not a tweaker that's they way to go. I run an Aurender N20 into a Musetec 005 DAC with superb results. This DAC is made in China but most of the parts are high quality imported from Europ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I have experimented quite a lot and RJ45 I2s is the best input on the 005. It will need about a week to burn-in along with the LKS 100. I can wholeheartedly recommend using WW Starlight 8 (Red) Ethernet for the I2s cable but it too needs burn-in... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fl_guy I bought from Shenzhen Audio too, just a plain white box, can't remember about the plastic! Currently I'm using a 0.5m WW Starlight RJ45 Ethernet cable from the LKS 100 to the 005 for I2s. I've tried using the WW Starlight Platinum but it... | |
| Could the new Audender A30 be "the one" for a simple system? @wjt3 The ACS10 would not be comparable because it is designed as a music ripper and library, not a hi-rez streamer, although it can stream. The N20 would probably be at a similar level to the A20 and A30 except that the N20 can use different DAC... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Hi, Has anyone received their LKS 100 yet? | |
| Audioquest Vodka vs Wireworld Starlight 8 (Not Platinum) Ethernet https://www.audiotrends.com.au/wireworld-starlight-8-twinax-ethernet-cable.html?cable_length=754 "The Starlight CAT8 is very different sounding Ethernet cable when compared to my AudioQuest Diamond or Vodka Ethernet cables.
