| Tube preamp: Cary SLP-03 vs Schiit Freya+ The Freya+ is a terrific preamp especially with NOS tubes. I used chrome domes. However, it does NOT have a balance control. I found I could not live without that. For listening to many classical recordings a very small change can sometimes ma... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @lordmelton Did you order one? Have you heard anything about delivery yet? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 In my "Buying Direct from China" thread (before it was commandeered by the Audiogon Politicos*) I commented on the high ethical standard I have always found when buying from China or Japan. If you ever need support from the factory, base... | |
| Great Classical Recordings @petar3 Saying that you are interested in Operatic and symphonic recordings and then offering up Muddy Waters Folk Singer as an ideal gives no indication at all as to what you really want in a classical recording. Recording a symphony or opera i... | |
| What are the best settings for Oppo 105-D as a stereo player. Replacement dongles are available relatively inexpensively. However the specifications are specific. I suggest an email to Oppo support will get you the necessary information. Also, you must adjust the settings so that the Oppo plays the SACD lay... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq No. However, it's been compared to the Holo May in great detail on this board, It's also been compared to the Mola Mola Tambaqui at head-fi. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wharfy "One more update--played my better half her CD copy of The Nutcracker. She remarked that she heard instruments she did not know were there." How reminiscent of the golden analog days. We used to purchase a new cartridge, perhaps our fi... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 For wharfy it was 12 days from ordering until delivery. That doesn’t mean it will be the same for you, but it looks good. Shenzhen seems often to give a longer expected delivery date so as not to be bothered with Where’s my stuff? email... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 It is right here before my eyes shenzhenaudio.com/products/l-k-s-audio-mh-da005-es9038-pro-x-2-dac-coaxial-opt-aes-ebu-flagship-audio-decoder Just write to Young at support@shenzhenaudio.com and tell him what you want. It should not b... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 I just received an email reply from Young at Shenzhen: "The Musetec DAC might take 3-5 days before shipping. We could help to match the Black Friday sale price for you" There you go . . . and the price is right! I suggest an email to ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 The chat function on Shenzhen seems not to be working. That's quite unusual. I suggest you try it tomorrow. They can also be reached by email. I don't think that has anything to do with availability of the product. A couple of weeks... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC @vinylvalet I’m sorry this thread did not go in the direction you would have preferred. The reason may be that there are very few Weiss 501’s out there. I did a search on the Asylum, which is very easy to do there and where more folks, it seems... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 Apos has been showing "sold out" for over a year. If you want to know of availability at Shenzhen I suggest you ask them. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara There are too many reasons to prefer separates rather than an all-in-one digital component. I’m sure I don’t have to list them for you. I will always go separates. On another of your posts, I finally figured out who you wer tal... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC @reven6e @metaldetektor A sensible discussion of buying from China, or other overseas source is a positive contribution. Experiences may differ. Choices will differ. First, I have found sellers in Japan and China to have a high ethical stand... |
