| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them A well known audio designer and manufacturer writing in another forum has accused TAS of corruption on more than one occasion. So all of this is no surprise. But why post this here instead of at Analog? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @batvac2 What persuaded me early on was the description of the excellent, and costly, parts used by the engineer/designer in producing the Musetec DAC. No one in their right mind, or so it seemed to me, was going to use this quality of parts but... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC My, my. How many angels are dancing on the head of this pin? Consider two different strikes of an etching taken a few days apart. Number one has the artist’s signature on it He signed it and died the next day. He never saw the second, which was t... | |
| Best qobuz records to compare dac upgrades I would recommend any of the Beethoven symphonies on the new Jordi Savall recordings. Besides the fabulous sound, you'll love the performances. An old testing favorite is the Varese et al percussion music on Nonesuch. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @batvac2 Can audio components be designed entirely by ear- exchanging capacitors in the circuit based on the sustain of a piano in one recording or the input jacks based on one singer’s voice? . . . . Maybe there is a rare unicorn with the requ... | |
| What should I expect moving from MM to MC? +1 for what @alvinnir2 has written. The way I would put it is that the movement to a MC cartridge would be expected to give you more of what we used to call low level information. That translates principally to things not available in the specifi... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @batvac2 I wonder how you can hold to your position when we consider your excellent integrated tube amplifier, the Ars Sonum. I have searched the 'net and can find no review of the Ars Sonum that provides detailed measurements of it. The maker ... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! This should be called, "Most Expensive DAC Survey Ever!" This survey is just a collection of hi-fi adjectives with all comparisons being to one DAC or another. Plus a collection of what his personal likes in sound are and what sound attributes he... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @batvac2 You named some DACs you might be interested in. I suggest you audition any of them and then let us know then if "fantastic" still applies to the Topping that will probably measure better than most of them. Topping DACs seem to be designe... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @batvac2 No one is saying that they are pleased that a component doesn't measure well. What a good number of people here have said is that standard measurements tell you very little about how a component will sound. The only thing that matters ... | |
| Settings for Oppo bdp105 used with external DAC (Tambaqui) Earlier in my digital days I was sending CDs from my Oppo 105 to an LKS DAC using either spdif or optical. It seemed pretty easy so I don’t remember any particular settings. So I wonder whether the settings on your DAC are OK. In any event your se... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I have wound up with a tube system, but for the Musetec, Although with its twin JFET analog circuit it probably sounds as much like tubes as a transistor circuit can. Just by chance, rather than by theory, I have found value in the tube compone... | |
| Is the VPI Forum Down Again? I wonder whether VPI just grew tired of the direct and indirect criticism of their own products on their own forum. There was a very long and very critical thread about their ADS drive system. It was so critical, including complaints from buyers... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC If anyone is using their Musetec 005 straight in to the amplifier you might want to rethink that based on a recent post at head-fi. Adding a preamp was said to add major improvement in in "dynamics, holographic quality and organicness." True, the ... |
