| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid I'm still off grid but I've taken the inverter out of the hi-fi system. Everything is powered off DC and there is no AC involved. I decided to remove the AC because I wanted to see how good the system can sound without AC gremlins like AC ground... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @duchhart Glad the 005 and the USB-100 is working out for you. It was a great little I2S converter when I had it. I'm wishing I had kept it to run I2S-E to another component for experimenting. I've since replaced the SMSL I2S converter w... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid In fact you have now If I understand well two separated battery inverter system - One for DAC ,preamp ,Amp with Shunyata Typhon - The second one for Lumin streamer , switch etc... Since I have a friend with a Denali , I will do the test with t... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid Electric power can be distributed over hundreds of miles with minimal losses. The line feeding my house originates at the substation as a 12,470/7,200 volt wye circuit. That is a very common distribution scheme in the US, and it’s a big step up ... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid sirnui ... a few key things that a powerful battery/inverter system offers over the average 15A wall outlet. It’s separated from what can be a noisy grid ... And replaces it with a potentially noisy inverter. The inverter will have noise of... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid This is just my educated opinion but I think there are a few key things that a powerful battery/inverter system offers over the average 15A wall outlet. It’s separated from what can be a noisy grid. It can offer more dynamic power (from a large ba... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid I used the Venom V16 for source and Denali V2 for amp because the the Denali V2 has the QR/BB technology that helps with amps. With that said, for cost reasons and simplification I’ve sold both conditioners and now I’m using a single Shunyata Typh... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid There is always risk with anything electrical. Even when everything is plugged into the wall there are power surges and lightning strikes that can overwhelm any audio system. One reason I use a Shunyata power conditioner is because it has an elect... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC In the past I experimented with I2S using an LKS Audio USB-100 DDC and a Wireworld Platinum Starlight 48K HDMI I2S cable. It sounded great. This second time around with this 005, I started my I2S experimentation with an SMSL PO100 Pro DDC, Monopr... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The best sounding headphone system I've built some time ago included the Ferrum Oor headphone amp with hypsos power supply, Holo Serene L1 preamp, and Musetec 005. The Oor was configured to bypass its volume control and the volume was set to 0.0 ... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta yyzsantabarbara is right. A great front end can make a big difference. Network switches and power conditioning also play a role. The best front end I've paired with the D300 consisted of a Lumin U2 streamer, LHY Audio SW-10 switch, Uptone EtherRe... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta My Lumin D1 doesn't support Tidal Connect so I can't test Tidal Connect for you. However, the Lumin U1/U2 Mini do support it. I've been using Roon happily with my D1. In addition to the 0-100 volume range, I also like the "Max Volume %" feature o... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Regarding the ADC, I actually have a studio quality ADC sitting idle. My Lumin D1 has an internal DAC (a very good one, BTW). I'm going to have to play with this DAC and the ADC to feed digital to the D300. I'm curious to know how this would sou... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta mr_bill, what about the Lumin U1/U2 Mini don't you like? I've tried a Lumin U1 Mini with LPS, U2, and D1 with LPS. All three have LEEDH volume processing and I think it works very with my VTV D300. A used D1 may be the most economical way to get... | |
