| USB Reclocker This issue recently came up on the Musetec thread. The benefits of a reclocker will be system specific. If you want to try one, the new Singxer UIP-1 PRO at $275 seems to be a better bet, and much cheaper than the Innuos Phoenix. Among other th... | |
| Dac that has tone and timing? jjss49 has experienced many systems and many DACs. His list contains some very good DACs that he's actually heard and evaluated. It's hard to find advice like that from someone who has nothing to gain or lose. Critics, in print or on internet,... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit It looks like 6V is being recommended for an LPS for use with the Singxer UIP-1 PRO. Saw this at Kitsune. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit Singxer is a Chinese company with a sterling reputation. Their most popular product over the years has been a USB to I2S converter that is competitive with a similar one from LKS. The Singxer UIP-1 PRO ($280) and also the Inn... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Thanks, but your original post was a better expression of my own view. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC It never shocks, surprises, or disturbs me when someone, or some group, finds a less expensive DAC to sound better to them than a more expensive one. Indeed, within this long thread there have been many testimonies of the Musetec bringing greate... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @sagur80 At your suggestion I spent about five seconds with "Timothy" and my only conclusion is that Timothey has an iPhone with which he can create youtube videos. I like, though, that he likes the Musetec. However as dbb wrote, you can’t tell ... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @sagur80 I hope the OP will respond to you in time. Just hought I’d set the record straight. Interest in the Musetec began at head-fi a while back. The OP and I were among the early users, each of us had the manufacturer’s earlier DAC the LKS 00... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @earthbound If you’re satisfied with the Lumin u2 mini I would not worry about not using the I2S input of the Musetec. The DAC has exceptional USB to I2S conversion within it with a very special power supply and specially fine tuned crystal clock... | |
| VPI noise problem While you're lubricating the bearing it would be wise to check the ball and thrust pad for wear. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq In the interest of completeness, "the guy" wrote of the comparison months before over at head-fi, well before he became a "distributor" for which he has never done advertising. Also, the pittance one can make being a distributor for Mus... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev My friend, on the internet anyone can say anything. But you are dead wrong about what Musetec users are feeding it with. Take the one example you cite, that of a comparison with the Tambaqui. That comparison was made here on the Musetec th... | |
| Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring I use an old TTW ring on my VPI with the original acrylic-lead platter that is too small for the VPI ring. My ring is about 2.5 pounds. I find that to be sufficient. Not only does it flatten records, but it bonds all records to the platter. B... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @midwesternaudio It is unfortunate that Audiogon does not provide a search-within-thead function. For an extended thread like this one it would be invaluable. It turns out that much of what you have written has already been the subject of much d... | |
| Playing Hi-Res Files with SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo I have the LAN so that all of my own music files are available throughout my network. A good part of those files are derived from ripping CDs and SACDs. All of the work on those files is done from a different computer than the one from which I r... |
