| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? I supply part of my system with lithium ion battery pack that puts out pure sine wave. Using on dac compared with AC fed from modded BPT 3.5 transformer based conditioner, I prefer feed from BPT, slightly more closed in veiled sq with batteries.... | |
| SET the best? As with all amps, power supplies are critical to best performance. My custom built 300B monoblocks each use power supply one generally sees in stereo amp. Larger, better ps equals more filtering-resolving powers, reserves of power-transient, micro... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz Cd rips don't sound any better than streams on my setup. Optimizing network makes all the difference with streams. I'm also agnostic about his res vs 16/44. I'm continually amazed by how much more information extracted with system... | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? Those who've mentioned snow are on to something, snow is insulator. I have crawl space under house, snow piled up around house, storms on windows down, very little traffic due to snow, no wind, night. This is the absolute very best ambient noise ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Optimizing network likely benefits all dac, I'd expect IsoRegen to do same for 005. Even the optimized usb input of 005 benefits from usb renderers such as Sotm, UptoneUSB regen, and others. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... I've just been in contact with Rich, spoke with him about issues with audiophile switch I tried. Based on his input and good reviews here will be trying Eno filter in place of switch. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Playing my 2500 cd's from rips so much better than physically searching through that muddle, only took me something like a year of off and on ripping to get all on NAS, terrible ordeal. @jc4659 I use Audioquest Diamond usb, just tape off 5v po... | |
| SET the best? There can be tradeoffs with SET. With 845 I can run speakers as low as 90db sensitivity, gives me lots of choices. With my extreme modded Klipschorns, 845 and 300B give different but both entirely satisfying presentations. Previously ran 2a3, limi... | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? For sure ambient noise levels lower for many, typically in mid 40's db during day, can get down to mid 20's late at night. The dark also adds to sense of realism, I have black out shades over all windows, also helps to block out external ambient n... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/does-a-ripped-cd-onto-a-digital-format-sound-better-than-the-cd-played This previous discussion about rips vs. transport. I believe it has a lot to do with quality of transport, the less jitter induced h... | |
| What is PRaT Boa2 hears it as I do, often heard it as allied to transient attack vs. decay. The warmer the system the more decay increased, this may be perceived as slower. I also believe timing issue can be easily heard with certain digital. Jitter is exa... | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? I believe I mentioned this in prior post on another thread. I think we can all agree optimal network performance requires galvanic isolation, proper timing, maximum jitter reduction, shielding from emi/rfi. With so many choices of equipment to ad... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC One could use rca out, I believe balanced/XLR superior. RCA or SPDIF in not 005 optimized in, usb superior, still possible to use the rca. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC My last great cd transport was Mark Levinson #37, when it died never found equal trans., motivated me to try streaming. Never looked back, cd rips were better than cd's over my last transport. Having said that, look at the new ProJect CD Box RS2 i... | |
| SET the best? larry is correct in that output/power tubes critical for SET. The difference between Shuguang Black Treasure and Psvane Acme 300B is like night and day. Shuguang like $250 pair, Psvane $900-$1k pair. The Elrog, WE, Linlai Elite, EML, Takatsuki wil... |
