| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @dbb One can almost see Bernstein dancing his way through the second movement tango. The 1964 Columbia recording is remarkable. My go-to version, since its release, has been the one by Kirill Petrenko with his former orchestra. @yakbob Yo... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @dbb Thank you for your review of the 006 done in your usual comprehensive style. I'll have to go back and listen to Gilbert's Mahler 7. As others are finding, notably in this thread @jc4659, the 005 responds beautifully to improvements in t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns You were among the first to go the 005 route and you were an accurate reporter. If you go the 006 route we’ll be eager to hear what you hear. @benzman There is a Musetec US dealer. He is Midwest Audio, midwestaudiophile.com | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC A New Musetec DAC, the MH-DA006 Flagship DAC is here. As usual with Musetec, a lot of new design and details offered in text and in interior photos. Two ESS ES9039pro chips. The price at Shenzhen is $3900. No doubt it is worth a new MH-DA006 t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @duchhart Happy that you are liking the Musetec. It's always been surprisingly good out of the box, but will get better with time, Interesting that you are getting good results with USB > LKS USB-100 > I2S > 005. This has ben a topic... | |
| Any experience with Magna Mano Ultra MkIII streamer About the Magna Ultra Mk III, does anyone know if it can play DSD files and put out DoP? | |
| Focal/Naim APP forcing digital front end change @northbeach The Lumin is a good deal more expensive than the Revo. Both the Lumin and the Revo require a good external LPS to sound their best. Hans Beekhuyzen did an extensive review of the Revo on his youtube channel. In response to an inquir... | |
| PS Audio New Stellar Gold DAC It looks like the new PS Audio DAC works just as @bill_k described for the Benchmark, only using the 8 DAC channels within the later generation ESS9038pro DAC chip, 4 for each stereo side. That is basically the same as dozens of other stereo DAC m... | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION OP, your thread is like so many others here: Help me choose a DAC. People ask because there are so many DACs and it’s impossible to audition them all. Many of the best ones, and best values, are sold directly and not through B&M dealers. They ... | |
| New Preamp from Musetec @yyzsantabarbara Then it's hard to imagine two people more at the opposite ends of audio than you and me. If you want a preamp that does not at all change the amp sound, and you seem not to need the gain, then why not just opt for a passive pre... | |
| New Preamp from Musetec @yyzsantabarbara I don't agree with your assessment if it is meant to say that the Benchmark (which I was familiar with) has no sound. A straight wire with gain? No coloration? I don't think so. It may be simply a matter of which components ... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? I believe that DAC singularity point has been reached already. I believe this not because i had much experience with high end dac or dac in general... i believe it because i listen classical music and non amplified music and the timbre experi... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? It seems I was grossly misunderstood by @othercrazycanuck in a very audiophile way. Likely I did not express it well. Revealing or not, I don't advocate listening through earphones to recordings that are engineered to sound like real musical eve... | |
| New Preamp from Musetec @yyzsantabarbara Hi there friend. Given his pricing, and I have to emphasize HIS pricing because we know where he has been in pricing, he must be aiming a good deal higher than the preamps you name. We'll not know 'till someone takes the plung... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? Great DACs will always cost more, just like great amps and preamps. The actual digital to analog conversion of which so much is made is probably the least important component of a DAC. Great DACs have been made with every type of conversion be t... |
