| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jeony Although it seems not everyone will agree, my own thoughts on this subject, specifically for the Musetec, is that using a DDC that converts USB to I2S is not an optimal way to increase SQ. Musetec has put a lot of engineering and quality ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton @debjit_g I am not here to doubt the perceptions of others. Nonetheless it is a strain on my own understanding of how things work to believe that the 10 year old separate LKS USB to I2S device can outperform that very same function ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Hi @lordmelton, If I understand you correctly, you are NOT comparing going from the (Aurender by USB to the Musetec) to going from the (Aurender by USB to the LKS and then by I2S to the Musetec). Is that correct? While that comparison does not ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Great that @benzman settled in with a DAC he really prefers and that seems to integrate well with the rest of his system. And kudos to him for getting that fine DAC at an advantageous price. No one has ever claimed the Musetec was the best DAC ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone At the beginning of the digital era some CDs were recorded with a slightly different eq than most as a noise reduction technique. That was called pre-emphasis. CD players automatically look for the pre-emphasis "flag" on the disk and mak... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof You might have earlier been thinking of John Sollecito who was JSE Speakers. He licensed two technologies from Richard Modaffari, the infinite slope crossover and a special bass crossover . The latter used two bass drivers, usually of dif... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @theatro A CR2025 works. A very easy battery to find. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Hi @wharfy Good to know things are going well. Using either the extreme right button on the DAC, or the 3rd button down on the right of the remote, and while the DAC reads out PCM, the DPLL cycles, going up until it reaches 15, and then going t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @benzman The Musetec DAC is, I believe, a true balanced design. Whether you achieve a significant benefit from that may depend upon your related components. Glad it appears to be working for you as you like, it will get better as it breaks in, ... | |
| Recommended USB Cables under $200 Consider this one. You'll probably laugh when you see the price. But scroll down and see how it's made. You'll stop laughing, and perhaps insist that all makers show you exactly what's inside their expensive cable. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC As for gifts to reviewers, it’s called an "accommodation" price, essentially the wholesale price--50 to 60 per cent of retail if it was new. So when a reviewer writes that he liked it so much he bought it, that’s an entirely different value assess... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC You might want to be careful as you consider the Musician Aquarius DAC or any DAC from Musician, especially what you see and read about it. Apparently much of Musician’s output is sourced from Denafrips but may or may not be up to the Denafrips st... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC You know Mr. @milpai, there's an easy solution for your dilemma. You've been lurking around here since mid-November AND you've done your due diligence AND you think the Musetec is overpriced for what it is physically AND it costs more than othe... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Someone once said, there are fools and then there are damn fools! The Musetec is a DAC; that’s all. Show us the inside of the Okto you’re writing about. That’s also just a DAC. Most of the inside space of the much smaller Okto case is, in fact, e... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @toddk31 Just for the record, the bashing begins now. Amir does what he does very well. What he apparently cannot do is listen and evaluate on that basis. As for the 005, take out all of the SOTA capacitors for example and replace them with c... |
