| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I neglected to say that the "digital bridge" in my description is a DNLA bridge. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 As for what others are doing, here’s my own streaming set-up. I have made a relatively inexpensive (compared to others I read of) system providing vey good SQ. Music files are on a 4TB NAS running to an SOtM sMS-200ultra neo (used) as a d... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Yes, Kantorow is a wonderful pianist. And he is beautifully served by the engineers. For a real trip, try his À la Russe album. His rendering of the Stravinsky Firebird Danse Infernale reduction will explode inside your speakers. And, by the way ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 When I contemplated buying the LKS 004 in the Spring of 2017 I felt like a pioneer to be importing an almost unknown Chinese DAC without any North American presence. It had been recommended for its SQ and as a great bargain by someone I ... | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? Following the suggestion of an industry professional in this area I’m using an inexpensive D-Link Ethernet switch together with an iFi Ultimate 5 volt power supply. The switch has a grounding screw which is grounded to my preamp. Inserting this i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Congratulations and thanks for the kind words. Based on your last post I expected to hear from you by now, but with about a month of breaking-in. Sorry the DAC took so long to get to you. Others wrote that they were getting their ... | |
| VPI Aries 3 Questions - Looking to make a switch By single flywheel motor I assume you mean the motor and flywheel together in a single case. I would not give up mine as I have always found that anything making the speed of the the TT more constant can generally be heard as an improvement. Are y... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @metaldetektor You asked about break-in of the Musetec DAC. In his first post after receiving the Musetec, @pt999 compared it to his fully broken in May Holo KTE DAC. After one week of break-in he decided to return the unit. He preferred the M... | |
| VPI Aries 3 Questions - Looking to make a switch You have a great table and set-up. The super platter has a non-inverted bearing which is superior to later VPI designs IMO. It's hard to know exactly the nature of the AMG bearing from the printed descriptions in the reviews, all of them merely re... | |
| Are cutting lathes VTA constant across the board? David Shreve, Guru on this topic, published these adjustments a long time ago using Rabco arm of 7 5/8" +/- height Nautilus +0.0058" RCA, Vanguard +0.0047" Columbia pop +0.0043" M&K RealTime +0.0019" A&M, ... | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? @systemdecor Go to setup menu-network setup-connection information. The ip address info you need should be found there. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fmzip You may find some folks having more experience with the 005 over at the head-fi 005 thread. If you want comments about whether "there is really more to be had with the 005" you might want to summarize the modifications you have made to th... | |
| Another turntable The TW was a great turntable, and still is. It's not like TT technology has gone very far in 20 years. And who cares if it is not talked about; there weren't very many out there. A TT may age in one place and that is the bearing. Have you look... | |
| dCS Bartok DAC - Interesting Video Review It might be of interest to some that a thread very much like this one was pulled by Steve Hoffman over at his forum. When I say like this one, the OP posted the negative video review and it was followed by about 16 posts. Some of the posts favor... | |
| dCS Bartok DAC - Interesting Video Review It’s interesting that GoldenSound is willing to risk his hard-earned reputation finding fault with this $18,500 DAC. The DAC has received stellar reviews from virtually all reviewers without a reservation. However the initial Stereophile review w... |
