Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@fl_guy I believe center positive is standard.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@dbb No I haven't but I guess it'll work off the USB cable power alone and it comes with a 2.1mm connector to USB that you can plug into any USB outlet or phone charger. Believe me it's worth getting it. I could never go back to USB into the 005 ...

@achipo My Aurender N20 can play native DSD 512

@car123 All I can say is I'm getting the best music I've ever heard in my system using the LKS 100. Maybe it has something to do with system matching because both the 005 and 100 are LKS products and  we are talking just milliamps mA for the I2s c...

@batvac2 | This is a peculiarity of all ESS chips, which cannot be heard At minimum the continued presence of the hump represents inadequate engineering skills and testing equipment. Audio companies using this chip - including Weiss - have engi...

@yage All very well and good but what happens if a poorly measuring DAC with off the charts jitter and every other negative factor performs with the voice of angels in blind listening tests? Would ASR then be recognized as the clown factory that i...

@curiousjim Silver plating wires and transformer windings helps to mitigate "Skin Effect" where the current tends to travel around the surface of the wire. Whether or not silver plating is better than a solid silver transformer is better is quest... 
Best progressive rock album side
More psychedelic than prog. Dark Star / Grateful Dead / Live Dead It was all downhill from there. Close to the Edge / Yes A tour de force of prog.

I imagine Musetec are reviewing their options at the moment, maybe they will do their own tests. ASR is not a licensed testing agency and in the real world their comments hold no credence. As was said earlier if a DAC with poor test results sound...

We can go around and around chasing our tails but to be honest how many car and bike manufacturers publish HP at the crank and not the rear wheel/s. Musetec couldn't give a monkey's what ASR thinks he's got 1.5 billion punters on his doorstep, wh...

@kairosman I don't know why you would want to support the ASR shill. As others have mentioned he sold his Holo Spring (which had a good rating on ASR) presumably because he didn't like it, again presumably he preferred the 004 which he owned. Now...

@dbb Yes but it's your brain telling you it sounds different when the tests speak for themselves. How could one piece of wire sound different from another one? It's just impossible. We're all scientists here so don't dispute the facts. Jen Psaki... 
What is this term 'analytical' ?
Have you ever got your TV really tuned in with new cables, a renderer etc. and the actors no longer look like they are in a movie but you are actually on the set watching the movie or TV show being filmed. Way too much detail.  
Which Threshold amp to buy???
I have a S/350e Stasis Threshold re-issue. Assembled in China from parts supplied by Threshold. This amp has to be the bargain of the century. Fit, finish and sound as good or better than the original. Hardly warm and it's on 24/7. Many people ...
