| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @rrboogie Not a good idea to use one set of interconnects from DAC to sub-woofer and another to preamp. One set to preamp and two sets out from preamp to amp and sub-woofer, even if you have to use Y-splitters. That way your preamp volume control... | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto If you look at how Starker at 11:40 handles what is written as a single bow, it is an unusual practice at what is an emotional highlight of the concerto. It is even more brilliantly done in his famous Mercury recording with Dorati. The o... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @rrboogie Thanks for the post. What has kept it going are messages of satisfaction like your own. | |
| Mundorf Supreme Vs. Supreme SIO and SGO? Is this the same as the so-called GAD gold and silver foil capacitors made by Mundorf, a pair of which is in the Musetec MH-DA005 DAC? The designer of the DAC writes, "In the analog circuit, there are two particularly important capacitors. We com... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers @fastfreight No, nothing so fancy. I've been using SOtM. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @charles1dad I would not be at all surprised if during part comparisons during design development he had parts that measured better yet sound worse. I bet if he were asked, he would admit this to be true. Well, no surprise. In my "summary" of... | |
| Low Frequency Rumble from TT between songs This sounds very much like a worn bearing issue. I was pleasantly surprised when I had my VPI bearing worked on some years ago. I'm guessing you are writing about a used Aires. Am I correct? Do you know how old it is? The bearings of VPI TTs ... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers @fastfreight FWIW, a long while back when I changed from a small USB hard disk for my files to a NAS I had to decide whether to rely on wi-fi or drill a hole for ethernet. So I bought a cheap 50 foot ethernet cable on ebay and tried it against t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @charles1dad This is almost exactly why I chose to buy the Musetec, sight unseen (and unheard) at the time. In the first place I believe that great parts make great sound, and the designer had proved his product to a cost with the 004. When I lo... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @charles1dad It’s just the three set of jumpers from board to board that are wired with short discrete silver wires. This is in place of the standard thin gauge ganged copper jumper connections. The O-Ring transformer powering the analog board i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC organic for me does not imply some form of added warmth or coloration, to others who use this term it surely does imply this. . . . . . So again it is obvious (And understood) organic means different things to different people. @charles1dad ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @charles1dad Well, describing sound in words has always been difficult. Wise writers have given us some guidance from time to time. "Organic" and "musical" are too often used by audiophiles simply to mean, "it has a sound that I like." I have us... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns @charles1dad "Screaming deal"? Perhaps so, but not so fast, please. Yes the Bricasti has a built in streamer and an analog volume control. But are these appropriate to the fine quality of the DAC function on the unit? In the first place I... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 That was a major effort and excellent writing. I appreciate it, especially as your own system is definitely at the very high end and you were not, yourself, looking for a new DAC here. In many ways the Musetec has been a mystery DAC wit... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Now that it has been compared to the Bricasti M1SE MDX, this review becomes even more relevant in placing the Musetec solidly within the community of DACs. |
