| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @charles1dad -Thanks for the kind words. I have an ARC 28SE, ARC 75SE and ProAc 30R speakers. I put together my system because it makes the jazz music I listen to sound fabulous. I'll certainly share my impressions. And yes, what people have sai... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @jriggy -Thanks for the info. I ordered the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2T, 4 Orea Bronze isolators and an Audioquest AES/EBU. I'll find out soon when to expect delivery. With the changes I've made to my system recently, an ARC pre-amp, a L.K.S Audio MH-DA... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @charles1dad - Thanks for the info. I have been following your RS2T observations on the other RS2T threads.. I was considering a pre-owned PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player, and read your comparisons between PS Audio and RS2T with great interes... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @jriggy -You are correct. Asking around I was told by multiple sources, including Pro-ject that their I2S is proprietary. Great to know the AES/EBU is good. I'm ordering the RS2T next week and will get that cable with it. Question-what are you us... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq -"Also, since I'm using a tube integrated amp anyways (Audio Hungary Qualiton a20i), I think the 005 will provide the perfect yin for my yang :)" I have a tube based system and you are spot-on. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq -I purchased the 005 and had the same concerns you did about 3rd row vs 1st; a bit smoother, and more analog, too revealing or unforgiving (and I don't have DSD albums). In my system (ARC, ProAc, Cambridge CXC and Aurender server) the diff... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm -"As for ripping disks, if you want to experiment, the popular free computer program for doing that is Exact Audio Copy." Thanks for the info. Next opportunity I'm going to get an external disk drive and use it and Exact Audio Copy to try t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm you make a couple good points, and have given me some ideas to ponder. Great point about the power supply and analog out. In my experience I’ve had some equipment, like a Music Hall Dac, that had a fantastic analog output, making it an ove... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I am at about 100 hours into owning and playing my 005. I’ve been running my Aurender server non-stop since setting up the 005. There is a definite improvement in the sound. Staging, depth of sound, the highs and lows are all opening up and natura... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm @sns -This morning's sound update-The sound is improving. It is more organic. Played with the DAC this morning. The Singxer SU-1 is redundant. I am happy I have simplified cabling. When I sell the Spring 1 KTE I will include it as part ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC My 005 arrived Wednesday. After a 48 hour break-in, I’m impressed, even though the sound is "brittle." I can echo many of the things I’m reading from 005 owners. Staging, placement of instruments, micro detail. While listening to Thelonious Monk’s... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Received notification that my 005 is shipping and will be delivered around 12/1. Definitely excited. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm @yyzsantabarbara Thanks for sharing your shipping experiences. I emailed Shenzhenaudio asking about shipping and delivery. They said they would have my DAC in 3-5 days and ship via DHL Express. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @milpai -Thanks! Definitely looking forward, and happy to share my impressions. And yes, I saw the comparison to the Holo May Level 2. I have a Holo Spring 1KTE and I am looking forward hearing the similarities and differences. I read and re-read... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm -"Anyway, someone who remembers Lafayette Radio probably has the time to rip his CD collection--as I did. 😀" LOL! I have an Aurender server with days worth of music on it. Think that will do it. Thanks again! |
