| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @americanspirit Nothing to do with not trusting my sonic preferences or listening sense, more about sheer curiosity. Perhaps some day we'll have measurement protocol that more closely aligns with our listening senses. This will require technical... | |
| Why don't we tire of music? As others have mentioned its the emotional connection, but I can also get into technical aspects, performance of players as well as audio system. And I do get tired of hearing same music, my music preferences have evolved to stream of consciou... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC So, I owned Auralic Vega, LKS004, Okto Dac8 stereo, Musetec 005, all in house, comparative listening sessions. Based on ASR reviews, Okto one of top measuring dacs, Musetec pretty lame. And yet I heard greater resolving capabilities with 005 vs Ok... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The whole point of voicing is inherently subjective, either manufacturer and you sympathetic or not. Bobby wasn't trying to voice Merlins to appeal to every listener, no universal voicing for the masses. Above also may apply to specific genre of m... | |
| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? In process of more networking experiments, better modem with Broadcom vs Intel chip in old, outboard power supply, Mikrotic CCR1036 enterprise grade router. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Always comes down to a very simple question. Who is one trying to please, measuring bot or oneself? I have Merlin VSM-MM as second speakers, I purchased based on a number of listening sessions at audio shows and speaking with Bobby. Yes, Bobby... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up I thought the Mojo dac usb inputs didn't require usb power, if usb board within dac not self powered could make difference. If that case, I'd try another input on Mojo dac, means not optimized for usb. | |
| Audiophile fibre kits - worth it? OpticalModule I ordered over 2 months ago shipped today, should have some idea how compares to generic FMC this weekend. Will be powered by lps. I prefer my FMC and OpticalRendu vs several ethernet solutions POST server. I did NOT like FMC PRI... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up I have some interesting experiments coming up. Have Netgear CM500 modem on way, DOCSIS 3.0 vs. crap Intel chip modems, also external power supply so I can lps it. Mikrotik CCR-1036-8G-2S+ enterprise scale router, will replace Netgear router/wifi,... | |
| Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake? I would not assume its fake based on packaging. I have many Vodka ethernet cables, all purchased from authorized dealers, packaging not exactly the same for all. | |
| Upsizing Capacitors As others have mentioned you better know what you're doing if changing capacitance. I will occasionally upgrade for temp, voltage or tolerance, this mostly in power supplies. | |
| Shakti Stone I have one I've experimented with over the years, I've probably tried on every component at one time or another. On some components don't hear much if any difference, over others a bit lower noise floor, but always loss of spaciousness, somewhat ... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up @mitch2 I can't recall all your pre server configurations, but you sure have a lot going on pre server! My experience has always been post server far more important than pre, and simpler has been proven best up to this point. I'm actually at ... | |
| Sound quality of Roon @jji666 Doesn't your admittance that some may not experience reliability issues, and many testaments from those who also don't experience these issues prove there is no inherent reliability issues with Roon? Now, I have no doubt we may see m... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid I never heard any hums, clicks when charging and listening with N.E.W amp, Merlin BAM or Rockpals battery pack on dac and different streaming equipment lps. Fan would be on with the Rockpals. |
