| 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 ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g If you decide to buy the WW hdmi, be patient to give at least 500 hrs to it. Though I don't have direct experience with WW ethernet cables but the Starlight 8 is a good buy and not that expensive. I managed to get a custom made WW St... | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui Hi, So are you also using the L.K.S. DDC or another DDC? Great write up BTW. Talking about clocks many people say an external master clock only works for SPDIF but if I disconnect it from my Aurender everything gets deflated. I'm only u... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui Hi, I see that you have used the Innous USB DDC. What is your evaluation of it? It has a very good LPS and a custom clock for the USB DDC. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @car123 Hi, I'm glad you had a positive experience with the Sonore. If you are looking to take it to the next level (I2s) may I suggest you try out the L.K.S. USB to I2s DDC. Reason being it has a RJ45 I2s output which I have found to be superior... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Hi Robert, reviewers get paid to say nice things. It takes a long time to build a great system, do your own comparisons and listen to DSD files if you can. You already have great components they are going to need tweaking to get them sounding the... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @robert1976 There's nothing wrong with your DAC it's the Nucleus. Get a decent streamer/server, preferably one you can attach a master clock to, like Aurender N20/N30 or similar. | |
| DAC / USB outputs in MONO? HELP Check the little toggle switches on the back of the Threshold RCA/AES selectors. Try inputting a CD player or something else into the DAC, it's probably the computer. | |
