| LAIV Harmony @kereru Thank you, this very informative! I can appreciate all the work you've done in regard to integrating best input on Harmony, and you have very nice equipment which gives much authority to your conclusions. I only question the implementa... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @dbb Very good choice to keep! I guess I couldn't understand your choice vs keeping 005 since I hear the 006 as more forgiving and natural. Sorry to learn of your hearing loss, not unusual to lose the ability to hear highs, I can only hear up to 1... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @brbrock I haven't listened to 006 sans preamp like I have with 005. Loss of bits wouldn't be so much a concern since so much resolution here. Issue would be exactly what dbb stated, I've also tried and owned a number of passives (still have a Sch... | |
| LAIV Harmony Yes, should have fine backing and service with Vinshine. Also, not unheard of for runs of certain parts to be defective, mass production here. Modular design of Harmony makes repairs easy, just as @standardmodel found. Before judging reliability l... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @dbb I'm absolutely shocked! On to my initial observations. I'll attempt to temper my words regards this dac, but then I can't help myself, This dac lives in an entirely different realm from both 005 and Laiv Harmony! The initial thing that se... | |
| Isolation transformer question @mijostyn ASR isn't worth a minute more of my time. | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @dbb I get that, massed violins are the single greatest issue I have with digital vs. vinyl, and my vinyl setup in particular. Natural timbre always seems just a bit off, natural resonance of a live violin very difficult to reproduce. I think ... | |
| Isolation transformer question The above is complete nonsense. Certainly the transformers and power supplies within individual components are critically important for best performance, this goes without question. Just as those power supplies treat the power going into signal pa... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship Have 006 connected to main system tonight, letting it burn in silently (pre forward off), so will have something like 115 hours on 006. @dbb I'd say 90% positive rate is fantastic, seems your somewhat letdown by 006. Crap recordings will a... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship In regard to my streaming philosophy. Streaming is a chain, chain starts at internet service, ends at dac. Start with provider, faster service better, I use 1gb. Modem next, even this matters, Broadcom chip important. Router next (this important f... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship I don't understand why you're using fiber optic with UltraRendu, you should be using OpticalRendu, and this with OpticalModule, both with quality lps. Assuming you have wired internet service, conversion to optical done at end of chain, just prior... | |
| External Linear PSU for Router - Voltage/Amps? You have voltage correct, voltage must match. Amps listed on component's power supply is generally a minimum of what's needed, so you need lps rated for at least 3.5A, Absolutely no harm in lps supplying over 3.5a, in fact the more the better, hel... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @dbb Perhaps you're expecting too much, no such thing as perfection in this hobby. My Conicident Statement, the one with dual TVC, no remote volume control is not what I'd call warm, simply neutral with a tube presentation. I don't believe the Heg... | |
| Klipsch La Scala or Altec 838 speakers Don't like the K401 horn, believe they used that horn in 1990's. Type A crossover with tractrix horns, now you have a nice speaker. | |
| AA for us On the wagon, off the wagon, put on repeat endlessly. The 'other' AA would be seriously frustrated or done with me. |
