| 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... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton I saw your post in the "Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui" thread before it was removed. Go easy on these guys. It’s very hard for them to get away from two of their fundamentals: (1) There is a strong correlation in DACs between price a... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton "Are you saying that the Amanero board in the 005 converts USB to I2s internally?" Absolutely. That’s what Amanero boards do. I²S is how all DACs communicate internally. I realize this thread is getting very long, but we’ve covered... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Of course, the Musetec already provides an Amanaro board providing USB to I²S conversion. It may even have better clocks and a better power supply. But if you come up with a superior SQ, we'll all be watching. | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @fleschler "The May didn't hold up to the Musetec 005 (was the reviewer biased as a dealer)?" Whose comparison are you referring to? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @blang Nice to hear of your satisfaction with the Musetec. Jinbo is not Paul McGowan. He is just a very small designer/manufacturer. I don't think he gives usage advice, as a dealer might. But if anything goes wrong, or to get it up an workin... |
