| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @bill_k While I am in no position to make any prediction for anyone else, my Musetec DAC was sent by Fedex in April, tracked continually from China and delivered to my door (East Coast US) just like any other Fedex delivery,. No duty, no tax, n... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Over at the Musetec thread on head-fi.org, the DAC was just compared very favorably to the $13,000 Mola Mola Tambaqui. | |
| Different R2R DACs @metaldetektor My main points were simply not to make too much of a reviewer's purchase or of the A+ rating. Nice that you found this reviewer compatable even though IIUC he has not been reviewing for them all that long. Enjoy the DAC. Seems l... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @sanvara You quoted my post. The company is Musheng Audio ( 沐声音频 ). Just as Holo makes the Spring DAC and the May DAC, they make the LKS DACs and the Musetec DAC. The Musetec is their current statement DAC. I sometimes call the company Musetec... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC China, being ahead of us in time, the Black Friday price of under $3000 is now listed on the Shenzhen web site. | |
| Different R2R DACs @metaldetektor Interesting that you write about the accommodation pricing available to reviewers, especially of the more important journals. That he bought the review DAC means nothing, really. Most of these reviews mean nothing. He writes glowin... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara I don't have mine set up that way. However, since there's no switching between the RCA and the XLR outputs, they are all "live." I don't think you'll have a problem, but you'll know with absolute certainty in a short while. | |
| Measuring Turntable Platter Speed The short answer is . . no! But that doesn’t mean you’re at the end of the road. While you can’t measure the fluctuation, you can probably fix it. New bearing, new bearing lubrication, repair of worn bearing, new belt, new motor. Somewhere in the... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wharfy Shenzhen tells me that were I to order today, the DAC would be shipped out by the end of next week. By the way, the Shenzhen price is back to the full list price, but they tell me that their Black Friday sales begin on Nov. 22. I contac... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @mboldda1 Of course that should work. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @mboldda1 As noted there is not yet a standard for I2S, so I'm not surprised it did not work correctly. Many units intended to output I2S have dip switches within so that the proper connections are made. That is generally done at the I2S out l... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara Regarding your comment about I2S: When I first got the LKS 004, which also had 2 I2S sockets (so enticing!), I also thought of finding an ethernet to I2S device to bypass the USB entirely. While this appeared to have a theoretic... | |
| Different R2R DACs Though R2R DACs represent the current flavor of the month, it may just be that they’re not your cup of tea. I know that they’re not mine. I personally value clarity and detail and look elsewhere to dial in a preferred sound--though I personally tr... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @warfy I had been using a solid silver cable with the LKS 004. As opposed to other cables it gave it some extra body and high frequency extension. For the Musetec I found it was unnecessary, and am now using Audioqest Pearl which is simply a so... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wharfy As dbb wrote we are especially eager to have your evaluation. While I think you will hear something very special within the first day or two, be sure to run it hard for the 30 days. It can use a lot of break-in, and the break-in is not... |
