| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara Earlier you wrote, "Shipping back to China with Shenzhenaudio is about $125 USPS. Which I did with another DAC." In view of what has been written here about returns to Shenzhen, would you describe that experience please. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara @lordmelton Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I am talking about EVS Ric, not Rick. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Earlier I wrote that I discovered the 004 as a result of Ric’s recommendation of the unmodified 004 on another forum He then began to do mods to the 004, However, I think because of its innate quality, his 004 modification was, by fa... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @pt999 @arafiq I respect the fact that pt999 might prefer the May over the Musetec and would be willing to pay the difference. One cannot argue taste. In one of my recent posts I have said the same. By the way, IMO it needs more than a week of... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? In the glory days of LP we used to speak well of those components that provided low level information. That was the air, the imaging, the detail. For classical music especially I want the detail for the music can be especially complicated. An orch... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @metaldetektor Thank you for your offer to review my DAC, but I would decline. If you want to evaluate the DAC you'll have to buy one like everyone else. As yyzsantabarbara comments it comes with a 30 day return privilege. Who knows, that may... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wharfy Now that it is broken in somewhat, you're getting its full flavor. I'm glad that you are enjoying the DAC. As for the "DAC topology" it's all laid out in the pictures and descriptions on the Musetec home page. No mysteries here. That ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @frogman Some people just like to argue and like to fool themselves into believing they have made an irrefutable point. Your post is ridiculous. What you have referred me to is a series of didactic, pedagogic pieces written in a pseudo-classic... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @frogman It's Important to distinguish between folk music and the classical music inspired by folk music. There may be examples where they are hard to distinguish, but Ashokan Farewell is not one of them. It is so very clearly on the folk musi... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. Dolby WAS for LPs. The tapes on which the music was recorded, before being cut to LP, were done with Dolby A. The extra two processing steps could not help but to compromise SQ, but for the reduction in hiss. What rvpiano has described has been wr... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados About Ashokan Farewell: Ashokan is a reservoir in upstate New York, not a lake. The "Ashokan" in Ashokan Farewell refers not to a body of water but to a nearby camp. Its composition had nothing to do with the Civil War. It is not classical mus... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @gracky @jc4659 I use windows and JRiver and am neither an expert on Macs nor Audirvana, and if this doesn’t help I’ll inquire at the thread at head-fi where there are users of both. Or you can. First I would suggest to @gracky that he set the... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @gracky Any further impressions? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq Hi there. I hope it doesn’t look like the Musetec owners are piling on.😉 The Musetec uses what is sometimes call a Delta-Sigma chip, the ESS9038PRO, in fact two of them. Such a chip converts all incoming data to a DSD like format making... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @alexopth1512 When something measures "well" and sounds bad, it doesn’t "really" measure well, it’s just that the wrong thing is being measured. The audio literature is full of measurements that do not translate into sound quality. It’s been goi... |
