| 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. The Starlight CAT8 is ... | |
| McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm @jerryg123 I never said Thailand saved Ducati, HD had a disastrous affair manufacturing in India which was in essence pulled back by Trump. Triumph is exclusively manufactured in Thailand and has been for a long time. Pirelli is 100% Chinese own... | |
| Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC? +1 Aurender, it never skips a beat. I use mine with the USB/12s converter box. | |
| McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm I wouldn’t think the Highlander Group will bankrupt McIntosh, but if it did it gives a wealthy McFan the opportunity to buy the name. I see them selling the Texas property (if it is owned) or developing it and then selling it. Lay off all but ess... | |
| Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC? @artemus_5 Hi, USB and I2S have different protocols so that adapter will not work if you want to input I2S into your DAC. What you need is a USB to I2s converter. I use a LKS 100 into my Musetec 005 DAC. It's inexpensive but really performs. You ... | |
| Differences between models of expensive vs inexpensive DACs @asctim Yes, I have a decent system but it's not just down to that. Musical instruments have specific sounds a Gibson is going to sound different to a Fender. I can tell differences between entry level and very expensive DACs based on sound qual... | |
| Differences between models of expensive vs inexpensive DACs Whether it's a DAC, cable, preamp or whatever you need to have a half decent system to reveal the differences. That being said some people really can't hear differences between a cheap or expensive DAC. | |
| Is Mark Levinson still considered up there with the best of the best? Don't get me wrong, he was involved in some great products, and no-one has mentioned Madrigal yet. However he was involved with so many products he was like the Pierre Cardin of HIFI. | |
| McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm I don’t understand the negativity, McIntosh needs capital to expand. Quickest way to do that is to go to PE firm. If McIntosh can support its growth organically, it would have…but clearly it could not. So PE funding is a good alternative. http:... | |
| Does Aurender do Processing on S/PDIF Outputs? Have you paid attention to the digital cables you are using? | |
| Warning for Revel lovers I guess the good folks over at ASR are crying into their stats now that Revel has shat the bed and screwed the pooch......lol! | |
| McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm Well I doubt very much if this means higher quality caps, trannies and other essentials. Probably send it lock stock and barrel to Shanghai. |
