| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC A lot of great suggestions in the last few posts. I will try the no footer test on the 005. It's potentially a free upgrade. I'm no stranger to AC conditioners and power cables. For me it has mostly been Shunyata gear. Over the years, I have ... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid @khbaur330162 Good to see another person take the plunge. I too wished I had seen this thread before I bought the Ecoflow and Bluetti. With the Ecoflow I was able to return and get a full refund but with the Bluetti I was not and I lost a good chu... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit I will see/hear if the LKS DDC is better or worse. If I've learned anything in this hobby it is to take everything reported online with a grain of salt and reserve my own judgement until I demo the gear in my own system against my... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid I'm still enjoying the Giandel 5000 and the Amperetime Battery. I'm also happy with the Progressive Dynamics 80A charger. The fan noise on this charger is lower than the Amperetime charger I had before. The Leviton 20A smart outlet is also doing... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I sold my Grimm MU1 streamer for funds and now I'm using parts of my old USB chain to feed the 005. My NUC running Roon ROCK feeds the Uptone ISO Regen which connects to the 005 via a Cardas Clear USB cable. The NUC is using it's standard SMPS a... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid How to use resistor: https://youtu.be/ZlrtmJRfSP8 I use a TP Link HS105 Smart Plug to turn on/off power to the charger. I use the Kasa app on my iPhone to schedule the power on/off. I leave the power switch on the charger to on. Ease of use is ... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid All is well and the music flows like fine wine 😁 I've been very busy with life (mostly good) and replying back to this thread has been low priority. We're working with essentially a 12V car battery so sparks can and do happen so wear proper eye ... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid I do plan to use the special connection on the Giandel. The 4/0 gauge 1 foot long battery cables arrived this morning and I’ve spent a good chunk of my evening connecting up everything and insulating all bare electrified metal. A word of advice, t... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid When I play music with my active speakers, the total power draw for the system is about 220W. And when I listen to the headphone system, the power draw is even lower. So 5000W from the Giandel is overkill from a pure power perspective but I think... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid The analogy is correct and your statement regarding all the connections are also correct. Power conditioners like the Shunyata and the Puritan can and in my experience do benefit from an inverter/battery that sits upstream. It could be because o... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid A few months back I wanted to see if I could replace my Shunyata Everest/Omega XC combo with an Ecoflow Delta Pro inverter/battery. The answer I found was no but I took the opportunity to also test the Shunyata gear WITH the Ecoflow together. I ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I've had the Holo Audio Serene Level 1 preamp for a few months now. It's an excellent pairing with the 005. There is a review out there from Alpha Audio that mentions the performance of the Serene against the HPA4. I agree with the findings from ... | |
| Shunyata Omega QR BB vs AudioQuest Dragon HC With loose fitting power cable connectors, I've used non-tacky self amalgamating silicone rubber tape as shims. It does the job very well and may help dampen vibrations. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I think it's as simple as connecting a USB cable from the lower USB port on the Zen Stream to the USB input port on the 005 then pressing the Input button on the 005 until you see USB on the display. Play music like you normally would and you shou... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I'm about to conclude my Sunday afternoon listening session and I decided to swap the direction of the SR purple fuse in the Ferrum Oor headphone amp. I did not like what I heard. The sound was less holographic, less refined, and more harsh. I ju... |
