| HDMI cable for I2S I2s is another transmission method, an alternative to USB, SPDIF(AES & RCA COAX) or even TOSLINK. Currently I2s is usually transmitted using HDMI or RJ45 cables. PCM is a method of storing music and usually uses WAV or FLAC formats. DSD is ... | |
| HDMI cable for I2S I2s will give superior SQ to any other connection and using the Oppo Card above you'll get Native DSD into your DAC. You could also get Native DSD over USB but the Oppo doesn't output USB. I2S Card Upgrade - $220 This is add on card which extra... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns If you haven't tried the Purple fuses you're in for a treat. The biggest change was in my pre-amp and surprisingly my power amp. Give one a try they really work. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g Pink Faun with only RJ45 I2S output 22k Euros, I think I'll stay with the LKS 100 and my Aurender N20. If I get the opportunity to demo them I will. | |
| HDMI cable for I2S https://www.oppomod.com/ You can get a DIY I2s card from Oppo Mod. Your model number doesn't show, but they reply by email very quickly. FWIW I found using I2s over RJ45 was better than HDMI, YMMV. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @harris1204 The Purple fuses are very sensitive so for example if you have a fuse in your equipment with a rating of 3.15 amp move up to the next higher value which is 4.0 amp. Do not exceed a single step higher because that may endanger your equ... | |

| Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp? @orenm145 Nice meters shame about the sound! This amp is Mid-Fi at best. Decide if you want an integrated amp or separate pre and power amps. Then decide if you want a streamer/server with built in DAC or not. Computer audio is full of noise and ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui Hi, The SR Purple fuses are directional but Ted Denney, CEO of SR says that direction cannot be guaranteed. The Blue and Orange and most other fuses do not have this issue. Two days ago I put a Purple fuse into a DC LPS and I was sure I ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns I guess someone will be along soon who has a true I2s output that can be switched between I2s and USB, we live in anticipation. | |
| Innuos Zen MK3 vs Aurender N100 @jkontuly The N100 has been replaced by the N200. I own an Aurender N20 and it's the sweet spot in current streamers/servers. Maybe consider a used N10 at a similar budget. Let your ears guide you. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Despite several people fully agreeing that they prefer the USB/I2s setup I find it quite disconcerting that you don’t believe us. I think the LKS 100 works so well is because it’s a simple design, basically straight through with quality Cryst... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Hi, The only way for you and @melm to put this matter to rest is to get a LKS 100 and see for yourselves. All I can say is it's the best sound I've ever heard in my system and it's significantly better than only USB. We all know that USB is ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui Oh, I remember now you bought the Grimm MU1. I have heard that streamer and it gave a very delicate sound very suited to classical type recordings. It's been a constant battle between AES and USB for me until I got the LKS 100. Now I've s... | |
| What size power cable? @williewonka It’s not really the gauge that dictates how well a power cables performs on any specific components, but the type of copper, the gauge and type of the wire, the insulation and the cable geometry. ^^^This. You must demo cables. A ... |
