| TV and upgraded cables You will get huge upgrades by upgrading your HDMI, LAN and power cables. Quality HDMI and LAN (CAT 8) have good shielding, reduces RFI/EMI, better picture better sound. These NEO D+ cables are fantastic, don't be fooled by their cheap price: ... | |
| Power Conditioner/Surge Protector Options Surge protection limits current and the last thing you want are sacrificial components to protect against surges. Surge protection will also limit sound quality. You can't beat a large, big and heavy torroidial transformer. This acts like a rese... | |
| Your experience with these power cables? I have 3 BMI Oceanic Statement cables which are absolutely superb for DACs, Pre-Amps and whatever front end you're using. No good at all for power amps. I've had these cables for around 12 years and nothing else so far has come close. I don't be... | |
| Percentage of cable cost The biggest mistake you can make is buying no-name or low brand recognition cables. You'll find it very difficult to resell them. Best to buy used or ex-demo and trade them up every few years. They don't lose much money after the first purchase. ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz @teknorob23 Hi Guys, Well I’m glad that has finally been put to rest and the 005 can be acknowledged for the fantastic value it is. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Holo May has a few tricks up it’s sleeve but I just don’t like two box u... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz I haven't heard the Tambaqui but even if it did sound better than the 005 it would be in a micro detail or two, which you wouldn't even be able to pinpoint unless you were doing side by side comparisons, or personal taste. I've heard ... | |
| Go Cat8! Last week I bought 2 x Furutech CAT 8 cables and 2 x Furutech New Model HDMI cables specifically for my OPPO Blu Ray, Smart TV and Android TV Box. Besides an upgrade in picture and sound quality I got a large sound improvement in my main system. ... | |
| Audioquest vs Mogami XLR Audio connector cables @revelationsound Hi, What I've found is the pre-amp to power amp needs a "fat", big conductor, cable for best results. Something like a Cardas maybe? A more detailed cable going into the pre-amp compliments the setup. I always buy good quality ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone The online manual recommends you set DPLL to BW01 for PCM and BWO6 for DSD. I have found the SLOW filter is best. Turn off DOP and DE-Emphasis unless you really need them. You have an integrated amp so use the pre-amp and set the 005 vol... | |
| Cable for Transport to Dac 110 Ohm XLR (AES/EBU) but get something good $500+ and don't forget a decent power cord. | |
| Musical Fidelity Trivista 21 DAC for musical fidelity A5 cd player @skipper320 Hi,The Nu-Vista and Tri-Vista MF products are very highly regarded and another reflection of Anthony Michaelson’s innovation. Nu-Vista and Tri-Vista are the evolution between valves and transistors and regarded for their smooth sound ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone Hi, To put this matter to rest please plug your whole system except for your PC into a regular power strip, including your amp, and then switch your breaker on. If the breaker doesn't trip then the problem is with the PC. And as I said bef... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone The 005 will swing back and forth for a month or so while it's breaking in. Don't worry if you get some awful sound while the break in is going on. Sounds like your power socket is overloaded or the power breaker may be old and needs repl... | |
| Berkeley CA audiophile is desperate need of help @bander Hi, I’d first check your DAC is working by plugging a computer into it. I understand you’re using the USB input of the DAC. If that works you’ve probably got a "handshake" problem with the server. Do a factory reset if possible and then c... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @turcoda Hi, The 005 has an Amanero USB board which drastically reduces jitter. Re-clocking is not necessary, in fact it would be detrimental. The 005 weighs 9kg, the Singxer 2.7kg 'nuff said. |
