Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Thanks @melm.. Took delivery of the DAC today. Awesome purchase time to delivery time. Ordered it Tuesday night, delivered (Houston) by DHL Express Friday afternoon. I’ve got it plugged in and powered up, but otherwise not connected to anything... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
All - I took the plunge last night and bought a new Musetec MH-DA005 in silver. I wanted to take advantage of the $2,800 Black Friday price, and I liked the added security of the 30 day no reason return, the 180 day quality of exchange or refund... 
Talk about modems
Thanks for your thoughts sns. I will not be using the Arris SB8200 modem for any telephony, in fact I don't think it even has telephony capability (one reason it was recommended on WBF I believe). It will be easy for me (logistically) to run an ...

Router for Audio Streaming
@carslbad - "I use a Pangea power cable on my Festool." You should consider an all silver power cord.  I have noticed an amazing difference when you can utilize both battery activation of the silver power cable shield (like Audioquest’s DBS), as ...

Yup. Using 2 pair - one pair is a short half meter, another is a meter pair.  Nice midrange warmth, space, and detail.   
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
Oops - *W-B Endeavors 😏 I would also like to hear some Viking Acoustics standmounts (Berlin Evo), Trenner Friedl Ra, and the Wilson Tune Tots are nice, though these may not be current SOTA. Much depends on amps and cable, room, and preferences, o...

dc10audio Berlin Destryed the Competition at RMAF
