| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns -"After a little over a year with this dac, and being very attentive to other's impressions, still waiting to hear a single criticism. I wonder how long this can remain the case?" My Polish grandmother often said, "Don't call the wolf to th... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC 005 listening update- It's been 3 weeks since receiving my 005 DAC. For the first 2 weeks I had it on 24x7 to burn-in because I wanted to get a good sense of what this DAC would sound like, within the 30 day return window. By the second week, th... | |

| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @charles1dad -"When you receive the Pro-Ject this Friday, compare piano and acoustic stand up bass to your Cambridge. I'm curious to read what you hear. Pro -Ject will noticeably improve within the first few hours of continuous use." Yes, I pla... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @sns -"What could also be optimum connection would be DDC with I2S in, usb out, since usb likely best input on 005. SPDIF will be superior to Toslink." Thanks for the info. I'm currently using Toslink with my Cambridge transport and was going to ... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @sns -"DDC only does usb to I2S. I guess some kind of custom cable only way to do?" I looked around for an on the shelf coax or TOSLINK to I2S cable adapter. Appears they aren't available. So, yes a custom cable. What I am wondering is if this typ... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @charles1dad -"Once I receive my Fidelizer Nickola2 LPS I'll let you know what I hear." Thanks! Looking forward to your observations. Curious to know what DC output you are getting? If I am reading the technical specs correctly the outboard powe... | |
| 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... |
