| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Ok "The ESS Hump", apparently all ESS chips have this hump and is well known throughout the industry. Most people agree it’s inaudible but some others claim they can hear it but give no description regarding what it sounds like. It cannot be fix... | |
| Best XLRs under $500 a pair +1 On WW, Cardas is good and good resale but warmer. Check that your equipment is really balanced sometimes it's not and you'll get better sound from RCAs. | |
| Audioquest Vodka vs Wireworld Starlight 8 (Not Platinum) Ethernet The WW Starlight 8 (Red one) is a wonderful cable and it punches way above it's price. I'm very happy with it but I'll upgrade to Platinum because this cable is so darn good. I have an AQ Diamond to demo but I haven't bothered yet because I like t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g The silver 005 with the 4 FETs must be the earlier model because this pic on Head Fi is dated 24th Oct 2020 https://www.head-fi.org/threads/l-k-s-audio-mh-da004-dual-es9038pro-dac-van-dammes-double-impact.840938/page-197#post-15936281 ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC One actual fact that has arisen is that there are two versions of the 005. Checkout the pics below and note that one has what seems to be an off the shelf Amanero Board with two oscillators. Whilst the other has an Amanero Board with three oscilla... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fl_guy FFS why are you so worried about published and ASR's measured specs? They do what the hell the want. Have you even listened to this DAC? Deviation from specs is not a health hazard, and I have no confidence in Amir, he has his own agend... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @car123 That's great I didn't know the SU6 had that feature. Good to know. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @car123 Have you got the I2s cable setup correctly? That's why I went for the LKS 100 no cable changes involved. The Sonore Digital has it's own dip switches to change cable settings. | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fl_guy Amir's tests are not normal test conditions. They are Amir's test conditions. For example he couldn't even be bothered to put batteries in the remote, download the manual or the correct driver from the website. He sees anything priced abo... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @car123 Hi, What you're hearing is break-in associated noise. I had an awful time when I first installed the LKS 100. What I suggest is plug HDMI I2s and RJ45 I2s simultaneously into the 005. It's going to 4-5 days for the break-in to resolve it... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @toddk31 Yes I find it sad that people cannot trust their own ears. Your example in point. KTE measures well but you sell it, nobody would sell something if it sounded good. Goldensound has a great video about measurements. Honestly if you learn... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @toddk31 Ouch, that hurt. Some troubling measurements. Todd you don't get it, if Amir says it's bad it usually sounds good. Topping D90 is the best performing DAC in the world according to ASR..lol | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Well this is what you've been waiting for: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/musetec-audio-lks-audio-mh-da005-review-dac.34065/ Amir is such a total clown | |
| HDMI cable for I2S @auxinput is correct and the HDMI input on your DAC has nothing to do with the HDMI output on your Oppo. They are two different animals. They are the same physically but the type of signals they require are completely different. Do not plug one in... |
