Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@ja_kub_sz Just a note on DPLL settings for the 005. Switch to BW01 for PCM and BWO6 for DSD Also switch off DOP and use the SLOW filter. Set volume to FIXED. Looking forward to more updates.  
Holo may lte vs denafrips terminator 2 vs musetec da005
@manogolf Yes a side by side comparison of the Spring and 005 both using the Serene pre-amp would be very interesting. The break in on the 005 is a bummer though but once you get there it's all worthwhile. It's important to read about the DPLL s... 
Holo may lte vs denafrips terminator 2 vs musetec da005
@manogolf I too strongly considered the Holo Spring 3, which can be bought with a decent pre-amp too. Mainly because I didn't want a 2 box setup, as the Holo May. The Spring is lower spec than the May that's why I went for the 005. I've always us...

@turcoda Let’s see if we can get your 005 fixed. Here are a few suggestions. 1. It’s going to take a full 8 weeks to burn in. 2. If you are using a Windows computer you must install the Windows ASIO driver, Apple or Linux don’t need drivers. Cl... 
Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle
+100 on the Oyaide R1 It is the top of the range Oyaide. Top Furutech is nearly double the price and Quantum Science Audio sells $6.5k sockets.  
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
Another quick update regarding the Power House Zero 2, I installed in my power conditioner five days ago. Still not burned in but the sound is wavering to and fro’ much less. The increase in detail both micro and macro has been amazing but the mi... 
Suggestions for a good I2s cable $300-$400 range?
Since they are both Denafrips you should be able to use any HDMI or RJ45 (ethernet) cable that hasn’t been altered because the connections will be the same. Even a cheapo you use with your DVD player. It only becomes an I2s cable when the wires ...

@debjit_g Lots of people will have opinions and there will be strengths and differences. I haven't heard the May neither the Terminator but by what I've seen online these two together with the 005 are all well deserved. Other considerations will ...

@debjit_g I was just using an expensive laptop. Lots of people wouldn't believe me that I could run Windows Server 2016 on a laptop. With Jplay. Then into Mutec MC-3 + USB reclocker and db Poweamp for ripping. I understand there is a RPI I2s onl...

@melm I have no doubt that the 005 will take out the Tambaqui with extreme prejudice. There is no way on earth that the Tambaqui would sound better than the 005 with $10k of cables attached. When are Mola Mola bringing out the clown fish or suck... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@debjit_g  I started with Windows server 2016 using Jplay, AO2.0, etc and then moved to Linux as it sounded better. Exactly the same as me, after my Wadia 781i shat the bed. Many years with Jplay but I've had my Aurender N20 since about 6 mon...

@sns The Taiko has been promoted as the be all and end all of servers/streamers. If it needs an ASIO driver it must be running a Windows ecosystem. The "smearing" could have come from anywhere. I've never experienced it. The best driver is no d... 
Holo may lte vs denafrips terminator 2 vs musetec da005
No doubt you will find that they each have a similar SQ and that will come down to personal taste. However the Musetec 005 is significantly less expensive which gives you more $$$ to spend on good cables. Plus you won't need a re-clocker because ... 
My First DIY Power Cable
@mitch2 You really know about Oyaide power cords. I like them and their plugs along with Furutech. However in the value stakes I think Oyaide have it. I have an Oyaide R1 wall socket which is Beryllium Copper, the top Furutech is double the price...
