| 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... | |
| 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? https://shenzhenaudio.com/collections/decoder-dac?sort_by=price-descending | |
| 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. |
