| 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... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara Regarding the echo of the vocals on Band on the Run, I hear it as well and "echo" is the right word. The more techinal term for this is reverb. In previous posts, when I talked about hearing nuances it was about these types of th... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I never understood ASR's methodology for determining good or bad. I think measurements with instruments can help our understanding of what we're hearing but the whole thing is too complex to boil it down to a few types of measurements. It's huma... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I installed the three SR purple fuses last night. The way I like to do it, I burn in all system changes at the same time and then I would revert or change one thing at a time to determine if I like that one change or not. I would like to share my... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton Right now I am not using any DDC. Over a year ago I bought my Grimm MU1 streamer and I found going straight from it to DAC with a single AES/EBU cable sounded better than my complex USB chain with multiple USB decrapifiers. Interestin... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton As you know, I no longer use USB but if I ever do go back to it, I would strongly consider buying back the Innuos Phoenix USB. I would rate it as one of the most joyful USB devices I've owned. When I first installed the Phoenix USB, ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g I would like to clarify and reword my last post. When I wrote that post, I had in mind what melm said: "I believe what I am reading about here IIUC is not a comparison of the USB input with the I2S input. It seem to me rather a compar... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I believe lordmelton’s positive experience with the LKS DDC. The LKS converts and reclocks the digital signal. And perhaps more importantly, it does this powered by its own power supply that is separate from the DAC’s power supply. The LKS can per... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC A smartphone with a USB adapter of some type is also an inexpensive alternative option for testing. This USB adapter can also come in handy in other scenarios as well. You may also want to try BW02 or BW03 for PCM to see if that changes things. I... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara I think I understand what you mean about matching warm electronics with the DAC3 and preferring that matching over the 005. I just sold my DAC3 DX recently. Believe it or not, it's the 4th DAC3 I've sold over the years. I'm go... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC In a previous post, I mentioned the Ediscreation Fiber Box II (Standard Version). I would like to share some of my initial notes of the Fiber Box II after it was inserted into my Grimm MU1 and Musetec 005 digital front end. The signal path is no... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Great post! And I can't agree more with the link. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Yes, I agree the streaming possibilities today are numerous and endless. Endless too is our individual climb up the audio mountain. At certain stops, we may decide the view is too nice and stay put. Other times, we continue the climb up to se... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Today I tested the USB input versus the AES input of the 005. First I need to share the equipment involved and the setups because that is important. In both the AES setup and the USB setup, the Grimm MU1 is the Roon server and endpoint. I only ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The QSA Yellow fuse came in today. I bought it from the dealer used and I’m not sure of the level of breakin. What’s certain this first night is that the sound is different than the stock fuse. The Yellow fuse has an arrow on its side and I’ve tri... |
