| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @budkine I realize that anything that’s said here is necessarily system dependent and the use of the LKS 100 has already been discussed at some length. Without questioning lordmelton’s results I think it is fair to say that his is currently a min... | |
| Audioquest Vodka vs Wireworld Starlight 8 (Not Platinum) Ethernet @sns @jjss49 If I shop around for a pair of FMCs that I'd like to try I see dozens of them at reasonable prices. I presume some are better than others. Is there any one you'd care to recommend? Thanks. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I know that all presumed improvements are very system dependent, but my most recent additions are very low in price and together have made a discernable improvement in increased clarity and consistency. Worth reporting, I think. And that is the... | |
| Most Realistic Recordings Yes, from the point of view of great sound some of the best DG recordings ever have been produced within the last decade or so. But they are inconsistent. Apparently DG has contracted with different independent producers to do their recordings. ... | |
| Most Realistic Recordings On the classical side you can find realistic sound and great performances IMO if you look at recordings made towards the end of the analog era. EMI, for example, really excelled at this time, and they sound just as good in Redbook as in analog. I ... | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? I can’t advise on a better switch, but to bring the D-Link to its potential it needs a better power supply than supplied. An iFi iPower 5v will do just fine. Also, be sure to ground the unit using the screw on the back. I assume you’re using a DG... | |
| What USB cable to get? Two excellent low cost solid core cables: AudioQuest Pearl USB Cable Monoprice Monolith USB Cable (Don't laugh when you see the price; scroll down and see how well it is made.) | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I thought I’d share some cable experiences with the 005. Just a caution that all of this is usually very system specific. Another caution, I was a "follower" of a recently deceased cable guru on another site. He was a master of identifying all sor... | |
| Holo MAY KTE DAC/ Kitsune Hi FI, Lynnwood Washington Since there has not yet been a response on point, I’ll chime in. I have owned a couple of quality Chinese DACs over the last 8 or 9 years. I think I’ve read somewhere a while back that what I suggest may apply to the Holo. First, I have found qua... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @budkine Thanks for your review. Sorry, but I couldn't resist pointing to it at head-fi. In an earlier post I remarked that, "a thread like this carries more weight than a 'review.'" You post is but another terrific example of why. @jjss49... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC There's a new review of the Musetec on the head-fi site here. It was apparently purchased after considering several others. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @branislav Thanks for your post. You are correct. It’s been a bit of a shock. I thought when @dbb posted his very strong comparative review that the traffic would move to that thread. Perhaps it really should have. For some reason, though there... | |
| audiophile recordings of 12 tone/serialist works @mahler123 Can you tell us exactly which Berg/Thomas recording you wrote about? Thanks. | |
| first US review 432 evo music server This 432 Hz tuning stuff is about the most idiotic thing I have ever read in audio. Anyone selling this nonsense should be avoided IMO. The reviewer drank the Cool-Aid. They usually do! | |
