@grannyring I would like to ask why you went for the Nagomi cables as opposed to the more expensive Takumi PCs? Was it purely financial or didn't you think the cost/reward was enough? I understand the Nagomi is $1350/m. How much is the Takumi? ... 
Burn in period
@golferjw FFS Man you've been a member here for 19 years and now you decide to ask this question. Why are Titleist golf balls the best? Why can't I hit the ball 300 yds anymore?  
Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui
The Holo May KTE has been reviewed against the Mola Mola and DCS Bartok and been found to be better at a much lower price point. I personally have a Musetec 005 which has been favourably reviewed against the May and suited my needs as a one box so... 
Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui
I don't know about the EMM Labs but the Mola Mola has been bettered by various Chinese DACs so why even think about it? Respectfully.  
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
@midwesternaudio Hi the N20 has consumer and professional digital level outputs accessed through the app. I changed to pro and it's night and day. More dynamic and wider competing with the USB again...aargh!!!  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@auxinput @sns Please re-read my initial post I am not having a problem. What I said was that for the first two weeks I only played FLAC and DSD but after the first two weeks when I started to play WAV it sounded like it had to break in again, onl... 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
@midwesternaudio Hi please could you tell me if the Musetec 005 can handle a pro digital signal from my Aurender N20 which is 10v I believe as opposed to normal 5v and are there any sonic benefits that you know of? Just wary of trying it myself.  
Speaker Bullet Filters
@jerryg123 @antigrunge2 Yes I think I'll give Paul's solution a try because they contain the Dueland Caps and are maybe a less costly alternative to the Stein Music Speaker Match which I understand to also be a capacitor solution. @jma6 I really ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@auxinput Hi, I can only tell you what I heard and I've never experienced this behaviour from any DAC before.  
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
I get a warm fuzzy schadenfreude feeling when I hear that people have spent $10-$30 grand or more on DACs without doing proper research. Fool and his money? GoldenSound has compared the DCS Bartok to his Holo May KTE and found the May superior f... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@melm I was hoping to give a full review of the 005 this week but alas no, it still won't give up it's jewels, except to show me glimpses of it's brilliance. What I can confirm however is that this is a magnificent DAC. Reason I'm saying this is ... 
Midrange heavy speaker cables, any recommendations?
It's very likely that your new speakers are more revealing and the issue lies somewhere upstream. Can you try a different pair of speakers? It could even be down to your USB cable or interconnects or a component.  
Resolution drop
+1 @reubent , digital volume controls will sacrifice resolution to control volume. An analogue pre-amp solves this issue and will bring a wider, more dynamic sound too, however good pre-amps will reveal shortcomings of the source components too if... 
Digital Audio Output Differences? Is USB Audio Really The Top-notch?
@asvjerry Hi, as Mr. Prentice mentioned above, conversion must take place with Toslink and it's bandwidth is limited to 24/96 Khz. Wadia tried to introduce I believe AT&T Glassfiber, which apparently was good, back in the day.. Weiss have a v... 
Speaker Bullet Filters
Seems like there was a bit of a kerfuffle, sorry I missed it. @fiesta75 Yes I've heard most of the Magicos in a very expensive demo rig. Unfortunately they are not for me. I prefer speakers made of wood with silk dome tweeters. @stereo5 Seems li...
