| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I believe misperceptions of our intentions is mostly due to relatively low price and country of origin of 005. While I agree with general cost to performance correlations, exceptions do occasionally surface. Questioning our credibility is to ... | |
| I finally fixed my HUM! Halalulah, and thanks for tips All these things you've done I did diy some years ago, 3 dedicated lines, same phase, drove new grounding rod, formerly whole house grounded to cold water pipe. In my case I ran ground wire to each dedicated box, all exact same length(including ma... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC There is no doubt the 005 has elicited more posts from me than probably all my other audio components put together. I simply can't find a single error of commission with it, that's unprecedented for source equipment in my experience. I'm still wai... | |
| The Best Preamp is no Preamp? The best preamp is no preamp only until you hear high quality active preamp. The added resolution, transparency one may hear sans pre vs lower quality pre is generally initial novelty Many will discern analytical flavor over longer term, seek out ... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming @dbphd You got it. Streamers take ethernet or optical input (in rarer cases), use various outputs to dacs. Streamers can also be built into dacs, like your Ayre in which case they are streamer dac. Your ultrarendu is also streamer. If using usb o... | |
| Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject 3, I don't have many of these, but those I have were extremely well recorded/original masters 4, extremely close to 2, I doubt I could distinguish between the two in blind testing 1, haven't played cd's in a few years, so this not a fair r... | |
| Anyone using a LAN isolator? No reference streaming setup at this point, as with all of audio, likely never will. With all the choices available one can choose to get frustrated, insist they're setup is ultimate or learn from experimenting and experiential learning. I choose ... | |
| Dedicated Circuits - Subpanel importance? No sub panel needed, although doesn't hurt. Grounding is perhaps most important aspect, grounding rods, no cold water pipe grounding. I also individually ground all my dedicated circuits, exact same ground wire length so no potential issues. | |

| Decisive moments your your audio journey Three occasions. First hearing best buddy's 4 channel Dynaco, Linn tt setup. Second, Dahlquist DQ10 at audio show. Third, Magnepans with Audio Research setup at audio dealer. | |
| CD transport vs.streaming @nitewulf Agree mastering most important variable. By the way, what is your conclusion as to cd transport vs. streaming? Bottom line for me is while I haven't listened with transport in a long time, I don't doubt cd playing has a rightful place i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui Goes to show you how unique streaming setups can be. I can see how your usb chain could be improved, but the Grimm seems to be optimized for AES. So question is would better optimized usb beat AES in your setup? And then, could your AE... | |
| Am I a hopeless audio snob? The newer Technics tt's certainly have strong visual connection to the cheaper DJ tt's. The SP line is another tt altogether, visual appearance up to user, many routes with custom plinths such as mine. And I prefer my SP MKII to VPI I formerl... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming 1. Yes, requires two fiber media converters, two ethernet cables,one into first fmc, one out into bluesound. 2. Shorter is better. 3. Lengths your talking about, no. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @audiom3 Prior to inserting Opticalrendu I had diasy chained SOTM SMS200Neo to Uptone usb regen, I had gone back and forth any number of times leaving Uptone out or replacing, always preferred the daisy chain. I then inserted Opticalrendu forgetti... |
