| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @theatro There shouldn't be any need to update the firmware but Windows will require drivers which you can download here: http://www.mu-sound.com/service.html | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Seems like the reason you liked the Weiss is because it sounded different. You said yourself you couldn't hear much of a difference between the other DACs you tested. Well the reason for this is because the Weiss is "coloured", it has a house sou... | |
| 2022 - Ideal Network Transport What do you find confusing exactly? Is it that a $500 streamer sounds like listening to Tidal or Qobuz through a tin cup or that $20k+ streamers are audiofoolery? You said that you'd read up on them all. | |
| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? @majorc 0.0 gain or 0.0 db means the DAC is connected straight to your pre-amp or power amp and is not interrupting or changing the voltage from your source. -db means the gain has been reduced and +db the gain has increased which will decrease o... | |
| Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC Well before you shoot your wad the valves are for the built in pre-amp except for power supply and Russian "tube oscillator' inside. | |

| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? @fai_v Hi, You can use the Musetec 005 without a pre-amp because it has a built in volume control which doesn't take much away. However a good pre-amp will give you a bigger, wider, deeper soundstage. I prefer SS amps and pre-amps because they do... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara Hi, I've been through the DPLL settings and the lowest BW01 will give you the most detail and the highest, BW15 will give you a smoother more musical presentation. The online manual recommends BW01-BW03 for PCM IIRC, and BW06 for... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm @dbb Well it's been two months now since I received my Musetec 005 and I can confidently say it's fully burned in. No more nasty surprises and weird noises from capacitors giving up their goods, just fantastic natural, uncoloured sound. Wh... | |
| What are your I2S cable recommendations? Has anyone done an A/B comparison between HDMI and RJ45? | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality The unpalatable truth is most people’s hearing is very lacking when it comes to hearing notes and tones and timbre. How many have actually played a musical instrument or been close enough to one to adsorb the sonic expressions and delicacies. Si... | |
| Which Streamer is a Major Upgrade over PS Audio Bridge II in a DSD DAC @nglazer Hi, I went with an Aurender N20 wonderful playback from onboard SSD or streaming. I don't know what your budget is but audition it if you can. | |
| Looking for a 24/192 dac to compliment my oppo r2r setup @buellrider97 You can use your Oppo 105 to rip your SACDs and Audio DVDs to hi rez files, which can be stored on a USB or external HDD/SSD and played back on your Oppo using digital out to your DAC. You'll need Sonore or similar software to open ... | |
| Looking for a 24/192 dac to compliment my oppo r2r setup @audiotomb Hi, the Orchid will accept 24/192 kHz. Maybe your settings in your Oppo are incorrect. If you play SACDs/DSD files they should get converted to DOP or PCM (Various sample rates). Blu-Ray and DVD Audio should work fine. MQA has been dis... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? @bosssound Nice to see you've got a nice audition ahead. A big positive with the TEACs is that they have 10Mhz, 50 Ohm clock inputs, if you can listen to them with the clocks connected that will make a big difference. Unfortunately Aurender does... |
