| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Well, I'm still curious if FLAC does indeed sound different than WAV since some report it does. I'm going to experiment with ripping some of my cds in FLAC and compare to AIFF. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton auxinput correct in that there is no separate circuit FLAC vs WAV. WAV files could theoretically sound better than FLAC since FLAC requires a bit more processing which may result in a bit more jitter. Very few claim to hear a differen... | |
| Pimping your router Usual suspects. Uptone Etheregen or Eno. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @yyzsantabarbara It seems separate or discrete components and increasing complexity always goes hand in hand with our ever evolving systems. Many years ago stereo receivers were state of art, an all in one component. Then along comes integrated ... | |
| Pimping your router With that setup all you have is network optimization prior to server. In my experience pre server optimization much less important than post, still may be of some value to you. | |
| Pimping your router @brenn I assume you mean multiple filters or filters and optical. There are a minimum of two points where multiple devices wouldn't be redundant. This would be pre server and post server, these devices will block noise going into server, post serv... | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Andrew at Small Green Computer is more agnostic than John about network improvements in front of Opticalrendu. I spoke with him last week about when Opticalmodule will come back into stock, he only stated it would make very little difference vs. g... | |
| TP-Link MC200CM replacement PSU Those will work. Voltage needs to match, power supply only has to minimally match amperage needs of equipment its powering. Max amps TPLinks require is 0.6a, those ps deliver up to 2amp, means they have amps in reserve, this is good thing. I alway... | |
| Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps Some equipment manufacturers no longer provide power cords, don't know if Bel Canto is one of them. I also don't regard lack of power cords in this particular case as a deal breaker, we're talking about pennies on the dollar here. The fact sel... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Now have a number of listening sessions with Opticalrendu and further burn in on a number of other upgrades, still have perhaps 50 hours left for full burn in. Not going in depth on listening impressions yet, but the reach and depth of 005 is ... | |

| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming Here is some info on adding optical, https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/how-to-optimize-digital-streaming-with-optical-fiber/2 | |

Prior to optical I tried various classes of generic ethernet, worked up through Supra, Wireworld, and various AQ from Cinnamon on up to Vodka. Vodka substantially better from g... |
