| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @mresseguie As you know there are not all that many Musetecs out there, so the probability of comparisons especially to other DACs that also are not in very wide use is pretty remote. A review of this thread, @dbb’s comparison thread, and the Mus... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz Your DAC adventure continues and we will all be grateful for the information and comparison you will give us. Don't hesitate to tell us that you like the Tambaqui better, if you do. No one ever said that the Musetec is the best of al... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I also have my grave doubs about the value of the "Enjoy the Music" article referred to. He takes better than 2000 words to say: Buy what sounds good to you. Very low idea to word ratio IMO. Some people get paid, and probably not very much, j... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz In this crazy world of audio, preferences might very well not be transitive. So it is possible that a person might prefer the May over the Musetec, and the Tambaqui over the May, but yet the Musetec over the Tambaqui. The rules of logi... | |
| Just a thought here but,,,,,,xlr adapters? Adding XLR adapters will make matters worse. The audio signal will just have to travel through another device. The beneficial feature of XLR connectors is that they are used on balanced cables, which you don't have, and can't have, in your syste... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Persons researching the Musetec and wanting to read everything, and especially Europeans, may wish to know that there is a new thread about the DAC on a German Audio site: Aktives Hören Google the site. In Google click on "Bausteine für aktiv... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone Well, it may depend upon what you mean by burning in. All the inputs are digital so there is no signal going through on stand-by as there is no power being supplied to the digital circuits. The analog circuits I suppose are being kept... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @blang Supercapacitors, like all capacitors, have a limited lifetime. In the case of supercapacitors it’s usually measured in cycles, the ones in the Musetec for 500,000 cycles. It’s hard to know what that means for normal DAC use. As you know i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone As @lordmelton wrote, the break-in of your Musetec is usually not in a straight line. Just keep listening and it will get there. There are some very fine, and expensive, capacitors used inside and I think those are the components that t... | |
| Thoughts on the various platter materials used in Pro-Ject's midrange turntables? @syr1990 It's shameful that audio manufacturers often don't fully describe what you are getting. [I'm involved in some discussions about DACs and finding out what's actually inside some of these is detective work.] IMO platter weight is perhap... | |
| 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. |
