| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC From recent comments here it looks like I am not the only one here experimenting with cables of all sorts. Like may high-end devices I find the Musetec to be very sensitive to cables: power, USB & analog. I noted that in my particular set-up... | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience Or what about woolen dryer balls like these from Gingko or these cheaper ones from Amazon? The Gingko site has a white paper explanation. There’s been some comment about these where they cut the Amazon ones in half into hemispheres.. | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience Wouldn't a Sorbothane or Sorbothane-like pad produce the same result at a much less expensive price? | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @boxer12 As compared to other DACS I have used, the Musetec seems to have what I would call a fuller treble that’s a bit hard to describe. It’s not a tipped up top end, but rather a fullness that has the effect of filling out the overtones of ins... | |
| Classical Archives It's a bunch of nothing: AAC: 160 kbps Full Streams (Flash) | |
| 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 ... |
