Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I want to use both the XLR out to my dual subwoofers and the RCA out to my preamp. Is there any reason that I should not do this? I have read that some Dacs do not recommend running both simultaneously. Also, should I put the 005 in Standby when ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
I owned the Resonessence Labs Mirus Dac prior to the 005. It was the first Dac that I heard that sounded like good vinyl. As good as the Resonessence Labs was, the Musetec has better separation of images and increased resolution. I am very pleased...

Help me get the most out of my Merlin TSM MX

Help me get the most out of my Merlin TSM MX
Thank you for the responses. The anti cables that I have coming are a double run (not bi-wired). Apparently this helps with frequencies from the mid-range down or so the seller says. They are worth a try for the money. I see other merlin users wit... 
Opinions on Apogee Duet performance
Well, I called around yesterday to see if any local shops had a Duet in stock and low and behold I managed to get a used unit that had 3 days of use at a studio. I also purchased a 1/4" phono to RCA pair to run my sub from the headphone output. I ... 
Opinions on Apogee Duet performance
I need to have two sets of single ended outputs for my system. Can I use a Y cable for each channel to achieve this or is there another way to do this? From what I have read you have to switch output from either the headphone output or the breakou...

Dac recommendations for Mac Book Pro
I am currently researching the Apogee Duet. I have read some good things about it on Headfi.org. An A/B test concluded that it was on par with the Mini Dac. I would like some more opinions from those that have used the Duet. The reviews that I hav...
