| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jc4659 Toslink (optical) outs on cd transport and 005 input is the worst possible. Yes, galvanic isolation, but well documented as poorest connection. Try coax out, will be much better. Streaming with usb will be much better with dedicated mu... | |
| Best USB port on a late 2012 Mac mini +1 on LPS. I use the Uptone MMK with JS-2 LPS, also only critical services enabled. Modded mac mini in entirely different league from stock mini. Do thunderbolt to ethernet conversion for direct ethernet out for another nice improvement, much bett... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Spirit is what informs one. Material interests, information, data all emanate from human spirit. One has the freedom to choose what spirits inform. Choose malevolent spirits, anger, complaint consumes, choose good spirit, experience a more measure... | |
| Setting up a Mac mini as a music server, and other digital music questions A stock mac mini may or may not be upgrade from any other general service computer. Only highly modded mac mini is worthwhile as a top notch server. I'd pick a NUC over stock mac mini or any other general service computer for that matter. | |
| Soldering Help It would be good to practice soldering skills on trashed circuit boards, you'll find out how easy to lift solder pads! | |
| Modding/tweaking my system All good advice thus far. You're going to learn a lot about different damping properties with some of these experiments. Far too many materials over damp, using damping is not the way to tame brightness, Brightness is symptom of something wrong up... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Are there humans devoid of spirit, or is it only unknown to themselves? God and N not dead as long as they evoke spirit in others. Spirit much like love, sometimes spontaneous combustion within us, other times dies without warning. When it lea... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Food for thought in all the above. One thing we haven't touched on up to now, what about our own contribution to this cultivation of spirit. Aren't we artists of a kind in putting together audio systems? Yes, we want to experience the spirit o... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @larryi Funny you mention hyper realistic with the 2a3. When I was running 2a3 monoblocks with Omegas I often thought about this particular characteristic of internal luminescence. Mids had the sense of being lit up from within, very unusual, nev... | |
| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears Any number of Tim Buckley songs. Once I Was, moving to me. And then there is the real life tragedy of Tim and his son, Jeff, only adds to the emotion. | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Good to know others with spirit and questioning of spirit still exist! Seems to me information, data taking the place of spirit in decline of civilization. Its rather confusing, on one hand, information, data elevated to level of belief, on ot... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption And so we can value experience of original and reproduction each in it's own way. A printed reproduction may even provide greater cultivation of spirit vs original painting. Because the print has relatively little material value, nearly all value ... | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I've never liked dac direct, between stripping bits, possible impedance issues, always too austere, clinical for me. Plenty of volume with Saga in my setup. I have Sylvania JAN-CHS-6sn7zw in saga. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Well @fl_guy I can give you exact answer! I too have Saga as back up to my Coincident Statement active pre. I've used it a number of times in place of Statement, sound quality much better than expected from such relatively low priced component. Sa... |
