| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. Just finished another search of best digital interface, been watching this for years, still no consensus on which is better. Only way to know which is better is direct comparison, implementation is key. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @jjss49 Your insights very much appreciated. I believe the 501 uses the 9038, 502 as well. As you all know, I love the sound of 005, absolutely no complaints, I believe Musetec voiced it to best of their ability. We can't know how it would so... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @charles1dad I'm only posing this as interested spectator in observing designers as they voice audio components. Presumption is measurements and listening go hand in hand, design of circuits using individual component values in order to attain par... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The only thing that gave me pause was Musetec reaction to poor ASR measurements, recall them stating Amir's measuring equipment superior to what they used in designing 005. While I'm on board with listening as being superior to limited measure... | |
| Music Server/DAC – Ethernet, USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or I2S. Antipodes makes good argument for their K50 solution. Ed Meitner of EMM Labs has stated having clock closest to circuit it's clocking is preferable, in this case we'd want to use the clock in dac. I'd love to to a direct comparison. | |
| Have you ever solved a high end audio issue using non-audio technology? Or, visa versa? The Tiger could also be called a Ford. I'm considering converting my BGT into Sebring clone with Ford or Rover V8, then I'd have fast car that felt scary fast! | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I do like combo of silver and copper throughout system, about 50/50 at present. As system has progressed over the years increasing amount of silver added. My 300B monoblocks use vast majority silver wire, including output transformers. I've found... | |
| Have you ever solved a high end audio issue using non-audio technology? Or, visa versa? @waytoomuchstuff Would this little British sports car just happen to be an MG? I have 70 MGB-GT, can relate. I also have much higher power car and motorcycle, and MG still feels faster on road, going slow and feeling fast so much fun. | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) @robones54 Agree with you on Sirius radio sound quality. However, streaming sound quality extremely variable depending on source and streaming equipment. I've had high end cd transports in past, my present streaming setup exceeds any cd playback I... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC 005 extreme resolving powers, transparency certainly maximally expose this immediacy factor. Improved micro dynamics were also heard immediately upon 005 insertion into system, great transformer, internal silver wiring and lots of storage capacity... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Charles, One other term I'd add for CSLS and DHT, SET amps in general. From the first moment I heard an SET amp IMMEDIATE was the one word that came to mind, and one I'd not used prior. DHT have unique sensation of transporting performers to you ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Charles, I agree the exact words don't matter much, after this much time in audio, vast majority know what is meant. As for CSLS, I wouldn't change a thing. My question is do these terms convey a color? Likely I see more requests for something... | |
| Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article) Returning to present streaming business model, and my statement "nothing inherently wrong with it". Streaming business model could be many things, supply and demand are but one imposition on it, another important component would be artists lev... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i In order of importance to sound quality I'd rate 805 first, rectifier, than 300B. The Cossor is produced by Psvane, wouldn't expect much change from stock Psvane, Mullard NOS rectifier is one nice tube, use them in my custom 300B's, much greater r... | |
| Capacitor @agisthos I wouldn't change cap coupled to direct coupled, designed that way for reason, although equipment feeding amp may have variable dc offset which could alleviate need for cap coupling. Audience auricap is only mediocre cap, much bette... |
