| Chinese Cables that sound good @antigrunge2 I also bought a fine Chinese power cord, Viborg VP1606. But what I find objectionable is Kimber buying Chinese loudspeaker cable for $15 and selling it to us for $644. There is nothing very special about braided cable. It's been ... | |
| Thoughts on the various platter materials used in Pro-Ject's midrange turntables? IMO the weight of a platter is a very important consideration. What do each of these weigh? On acrylic and vinyl, you may be better off without a mat. It's worth trying. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @turcoda Singxer has primarily been known for its devices that input USB and output I²S. In the earlier days of PC DAC use, many DACs did not have this function at a very high level and this sort of extra component was often used. LKS made a sim... | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good I recently terminated a pair of Chinese copies of Kimber 12TC. They are not advertised as Kimber but seem to be a very close copy. In a post here someone wrote that Kimber can tell the difference between its braid and that of a Chinese copy. I'... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone Sorry to hear that. I wonder if the issue is parts, which he sources from all over the world. That's been a problem these days for manufacturers of all sorts. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @btscott The question of a return privilege after purchase has come up earlier in the thread. One post, in particular, wrote of difficulties. As you wrote of a dealer offering returns, I wonder if you'd care to share your purchase experience. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @btscott Thanks for your forthright appraisal, both of hte Musetec and of this thread. I also thought my $1500 DAC (LKS 004) could not be improved upon THAT much by a $3000 DAC with a similar architecture. I bought the Musetec after a lengthy PM... | |
| Which NAS should I choose? A NAS is fine if you have a collection of your own to rip to it. I have an inexpensive Synology NAS with a single 4TB disk in it. It works beautifully and sends its data directly to an SOtM digital bridge. The sound is great. I access it from ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone You have a unique set-up so It will be fascinating to read of your impressions. Just as interesting might be a comparison with the Denafrips Terminator, if you still have it or remember it well. Welcome to the conversation. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui Just goes to show there are many routes to audio nirvana, all depending on what you may have in front of the Musetec Interesting that the earlier LKS MH-DA004 was (and still is, I think) available in two forms. A more expensive one that... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @edcyn I could only find it on EMI-Warner. That might also account for the unexpectedly fine SQ. IIRC Muti has been under contract to them for most of his career. | |
| Why dealers disparage certain products? #4...Some other dealer in the country already has the product and supports it. (Holo) #5...Some other dealer in the world already has the product and supports it. (Denafrips) | |
| AKM makes the best DACs AK4493SEQ: THD+N [dB] -115 S/N [dB] 123 High-rate playback; PCM 768kHz, DSD512 ES9038PRO: THD+N [dB] -122 Supports up to 768kHz PCM, DSD256 via DOP and native DSD1024 DNR [dB] 140 (mono) 132 (8-Ch) It's all silly. No one has ever listened t... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @arafiq Lots of complaint that there's talk here about another DAC. Then lots of talk here about that other DAC from you. I agree that the ad on US Audio Mart using @dbb's review is kind of ridiculous. Don't know if he even asked for permissio... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @fleschler I don’t think he is biased. There would be no reason. As far as I know, from this and another forum, @dbb is an amateur music lover like me and you. He is not a dealer. He bought the Musetec and the Holo May with his own money, and af... |
