| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @turcoda Sorry to hear about these difficulties. I have been using this device for over a year now with absolutely no problems. I use it primarily to play music but have used it with videos, both from DVDs and streams, though with my set-up sound... | |
| How do I get the best soundstage? Azimuth, azimuth, azimuth. Correct azimuth provides maximum separation, the critical step in sound-staging. Small adjustments can be heard. All these folks are telling you many things including how to spend your $$. Fact is, if it doesn’t come of... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @dbb Your post is, as always, enlightening. As you write, it is a matter of perspective. I remember old posts on Audiogon suggesting that the Holo May R2R provides a middle-of-the-hall sound rather than the up-close sound of a SD chip. This i... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Given a number of recent posts on this very subject perhaps this thread could use a lift. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g This post comparing the Musetec and the Holo May was by teknorob23. He had earlier written here that he preferred the Musetec to the $13,400 Mola Mola Tambaqui. And, of course, I’m certain based on a lot of reading on the subject that ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz I'm looking forward to your report-comparison to the $13,400 Tambaqui. They've already been compared on this thread by someone. I love these David v. Goliath trials. | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @romazicon I appreciate your last post. It provides plenty to think about. But I would ask again for you to tell us where you bought and returned the 005. As I wrote, there have been many posts about returning the DAC. As yet there has been ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @romazicon Thanks for your forthright comment. No one, I think, has said this is the best DAC of all or that is the DAC for everyone. I wonder, though, if I could ask you about two things. You said that you returned the DAC. At one point in ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton They sold (or sell) a matching LPS for it. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton That LKS unit is a very old model, even proceeding the LKS 003 IIRC. That and the Singxer were popular before the DAC makers brought the function on board. It cannot be as good as what you already have in the Musetec. But who knows? ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @car123 I have often recommended Audioquest Pearl as a good and safe USB cable. It’s a solid core cable. Solid core was first recommended to me for digital by a well-respected cable guru on another site. The Pearl is inexpensive, well enough made... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lemonhaze When someone says "if it performs as described" seems to me a clear suggestion that perhaps it does not. You don't need a question mark to question what's been written here. And, of course you're free to trust or distrust, as you say... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lemonhaze You write: "the apparently amazing 005 which if it performs as described is at an equally amazing price." I have to inquire why there's an "if" there. Why would you think that the DAC does not "perform as described." Do you have any... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns The 9028 chip is also used in the Benchmark DAC3 I think. It's one of the more popular DACs @sns @charles1dad What I had suggested is, with a given the level of mastering, users of the various Red Book (and even DSD) upscalings of program... |
