| 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! | |
| Bybee Technologies Crystal Series Plug-in Speaker Bullets. Do EVS Music Purifiers have the same or similar effect for considerably less money? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @boxer12 I should have noted on my last post that to bring the D-Link DGS105 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. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @boxer12 The switch that some of us use is more properly the D-Link DGS105. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC A while back, I needed a long electric cable run for my amp. At the suggestion of a cable guru on another site I bought a long length of Viborg VP1606 5N OFC cable which was then available only as unterminated. I bought some good connectors and ma... | |
| Perimeter Ring Clamps: Yay?, Nay?, Sources?? High quality stainless steel is not magnetic at all. Cheap stainless steel usually is. | |
| Perimeter Ring Clamps: Yay?, Nay?, Sources?? Many years ago when I came to understand the benefits of a peripheral ring, I was also worried about making a small mistake in placing the stylus on the record. So I modified my set-up slightly and the stylus goes down perfectly each time. I can... |
