| USB yet again Optimal usb implementation requires quality rendering at both streamer and dac. This means usb boards with nice power supplies powered via dedicated power supply and top flight clocks on these boards. Far too many streamers are let down by less th... | |
| Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "? @fastfreight I believe that's actually Telegartner switch. I don't doubt that may be switch that may actually do some good, much proprietary engineering here. This would be only switch I'd consider after my bad experience with audiophile switch b... | |
| Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind? Its not bad unit, Musetec responded to ASR by stating they voice components, measurements may take hit because of this, Musetec also admitted they didn't have the quality of measuring equipment ASR uses. It would be interesting to hear what a ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @charles1dad Very interesting piece at that price coming from Netherlands, home of some of best digital designers, for instance Taiko, Farad. Good find! @americanspirit Either the Mano or Holo would be big upgrade over any PC. I've not tried ... | |
| Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind? I've owned 005 for a bit over three years now, still waiting to hear the sins of commission ASR measurements allude to. Based on their measurements I should be hearing a distorted tiring presentation, with small sound stage, 2D images, lacking in ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g I may try another motherboard at some point, one I'm using at present was chosen by original streamer builder. He and the subsequent owner both compared to many off the shelf streamers, only the Taiko Extreme bested this custom build, b... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? Now. So many choices at so many price and quality levels. | |
| I can't believe this. Theoretically, one could wait forever if not paying the extra and individuals kept jumping the line by paying the premium. Never heard of this with audio repair before, ridiculous. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g Very interesting! I've not felt the need to even try the USB cards as I'm so enthralled with using new streamer as server only, Sonore OpticalModule and OR doing rendering duties, thus far beats several permutations via motherboard usb ... | |
| VPI turntables I am one of those former VPI users, never quite did it for me, move from 9" to 10.5i arm not big deal. My issue is belt drive not for me, so DD VPI would be more aligned with what I'd do, and move away from unipivot. | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? You're going to have a hard time deriving objective generalizations about these two formats in relation to each other, the whole thread is subjective based and will continue down that path. No single person can hear every single permutation of dig... | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls I've not had Joseph speakers in my setups, but the Pearls were part of a show demonstration he put on, one of best setups ever heard in over thirty years in audio. | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. I'd begin to hate the music I formerly loved, sounds like hell to me. I'd rather listen to sounds of nature out on that island. | |
| When is the golden age of high-end audio? Wow, reviving an old thread here. I've gone to point to point wiring in linestage, both SET amps, and phono pre. So, sort of back to golden age here, but with superior parts available today. For parts like capacitors, resistors, wire, and many oth... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I had Shunyata Anaconda and Python in my system for years, still use a Python VX on lps for NAS. Critical thing in consideration of inputs on dac is quality of rendering in streamer. The quality Amanero usb board in 005 absolutely requires the... |
