Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@debjit_g Yes I agree I will experiment with different HDMI cables and different lengths but I'm enjoying the break-in so much at the moment to change anything. I've got a 0.35m Oyaide CAT 7 RJ45 Ethernet cable which I will try next. I've got a f... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@willywonka Hi, With all respect to you, Mojo Audio doesn't believe in DSD. They promote DOP over DSD. He's FOS. He's a Luddite. PS Audio have a much better grasp of I2s.    
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@sns Yes I would have really liked a comparison with the I2s from the SU6. I think though that one reason the L.K.S. sounds so good is that it’s Musetec’s Amanero board with I2s out. So everything is connected in a straight line without dip switc... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@melm Hi, Yes it's not possible to switch on the fly between USB and I2s but it's irrelevant anyway because you have heard me mention that the XLR and USB outputs from my N20 into the 005 were infuriatingly similar with slight differences between ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@sns Yes it's unfortunate you never tried I2s but like myself I never believed it could be so good. It's just that Shenzhenaudio had a special on with free shipping and I had some spare change in my Paypal account, so I thought what the heck? How... 
Internal DAC quality vs external DAC's
You’d be better off looking a streamer with a built in DAC rather than an amp. However best of all is separates, you're just denying the inevitable.  
How do you make a final decision on a DAC

Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@melm Hi, From my Aurender N20 I am feeding Digital XLR direct to my 005 and USB to the L.K.S. converter then I2s HDMI to the 005. This enables me to switch on the fly between I2s and XLR using the 005 remote. Yes I could have got the L.K.S. LPS... 
New Rotel Amp Vs Older Bryston, Krell, or McIntosh
Maybe think about getting a DAC which will give you a much higher gain, then you can use any amps you like.  
DAC Upgrade Dilemma - PS Audio Digital Link III w/Cullen Mod to Direct Stream DAC vs
Well I'm sure it'll need some break-in time but I believe it upsamples all incoming signals to DSD, so I don't know how that goes with you.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I posted a month or so ago that I had ordered a L.K.S. USB to I2s converter. Well Shenzhen Audio said I had to wait because they were out of stock but at only $206.00 it wasn't worth complaining. It was just a curious experiment to finally find o... 
Vitus RS101 vs Dagostino Master Power 2+
@zpatenaude37 I haven't heard any Dagostino amplifiers but I've heard all of the Vitus pre and power amps. To me they all sound dry and sterile, including the pre-amp. However the Class A monoblocks are probably the best power amps I've ever hear... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
The main issue I took from Goldensound's review that I posted above is that Amir tests all AES/EBU outputs at 4v. This this ridiculous because all outputs should be measured at their normal output levels, not attenuated. Amir is a clown and anyo... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
Finally received my six SR Purple Fuses, put one in my Aurender N20 first and it's just amazing straight out of the box. Much more realism and naturalness, it's transformed the detail that I had before into naturalness. Another five to go ..lol
