| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara The search for better SQ never ends, My own guess is that going in through USB on this DAC is as good as it gets. But that’s only a guess and additional data points are always welcome. We’ll be following your progress. As for c... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @erictal4075 Are you using the Holo preamplifier with a Musetec? You are quite right that, but for temporary use, the volume control of the Musetec (and most other DACs) should not be used as they constrain the dynamics if used beyond just a ... | |
| Chinese Cables that sound good I'm very happy with the Viborg VP1606 power cable I used to make the cable for my amp. It can now be bought with terminations. Highly recommended. It replaced a very good Supra cable and the difference was apparent. Most branded cables are mad... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @laoman When you say, "’Yes’, I am aware that manufacturers can do do heavily modify chips, but still....." you’ve got it all wrong. It’s not really about the chip. True, the Musetec runs the chips warm, as was done in the LKS 004 and it is sai... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq To add to your store of information and knowledge, IIUC the reviewer is a manufacturer of, among other things, an ethernet filter held in very high regard on this board. He continually needs and uses a DAC of very high quality to test his... | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC There have already been 2 comparisons of the Musetec with the $4800-5600 Holo May DAC. However in another thread here reference was made to a comparison at head-fi to the $13,000 Mola-Mola Tambaqui favoring the Musetec. As I thought it would be ... | |
| DACs and more. Is there a good analog sounding DAC. With all respect, IMHO you may be asking the wrong question. I have a pretty good analog system, but the last thing I want from it is to sound like what most people describe as an analog sound. I want it to sound like music, the kind I hear when... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui The Musetec is compared very favorably against the Tambaqui in the Musetec thread by teknorob23. He's a very credible reviewer. You may be unaware of what the ESS can do, properly implemented. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 Can you help with a question asked of me about break in. About how long did it take you to accumulate 100 hours of actual listening? Thanks. By the way, are you continuing to count? | |
| AKM makes the best DACs Notwithstanding the evident quality of the SW1X DAC (and it is a $13,000 DAC after all) the last place I would look for objective technical info is in on the PR pages of a manufacturer. No one does that better, probably, than Chord's Rob Watts wh... | |
| AKM makes the best DACs And now for a controversial comment.😅 I think FPGA is basically a marketing tool used to differentiate some DACS from the rest of the field. I find it almost impossible to believe that it can be feasible for an ordinary audio electronics company t... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired The recent establishment of a US dealer/distributer for the Musetec adds an additional dimension to the comparison. | |
| Digital Audio Output Differences? Is USB Audio Really The Top-notch? One feature that distinguishes the better USB implementations in a DAC is that the 5V power is supplied internally by the DAC and not by the power line in the USB cable. Among other things it makes the selection of a USB cable easier, and allows i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC There was a short article about Midwest Audio in Stereophile. The article located it in South Bend IN, of which Mishawaka is a suburb. Finally a US dealer; that’s news https://www.stereophile.com/content/welcome-midwest-audio |
