It's a picture right off the eBay listing: http://m.ebay.com/itm/L-K-S-Audio-MH-DA004-USB-Dual-ES9038pro-DAC-DSD-I2S-Audio-Decoder-110V-to-240V-/112343384712 Now that I look at it closer, it does look like it says 9028...

I started to wonder after my emails have gone unanswered at MP. You are correct, the right way is to replace the fuse. I didn't have another one to test. I figure the lack of communication from MP was a red flag and I'd just rather move along then get stuck with a tube'd door stopper.

I returned my su-1 and bought a mutec mc3+USB.

I did check, eyeball only and it wasn't blown. I've emailed mp way before this no power deal and no answer. It's cool, I have a nice DAC already (Tascam DA3K that's been modded by Chris at Busman Audio ) this was something to try out and play with. I ordered a Mutec MC3+USB instead... Pm if...

My D2 won't power up. I had it for a day. Turned it off and the next morning it will not power up. Sent a couple emails to MP and no answer. I'm sending it back and giving up. The 422a I bought tested Junk so watch out if you buy one from eBay. I'll be listing a pair of 2.2uf 630v Duelund CAST...

Aww man that sucks...I've always read at a minimum you should wait a half hour before poking around inside stuff. I once got a nasty shock that left my fingers numb for awhile when I was unplugging the electronic plate on my SoundLab speaker. You get reminded real quick!! I'd call Andy at...

Picked up this ultra rare Western Electric 422A for my MP D2.. And this WireWorld Starlight 6 USB Cable Going to Vintage Tube Services ( http://vintagetubeservices.com ) later today and talk with Andy about picking out a pair of nos tubes to use. And he's going to test/verify the 422A is in...

I plan on trying the few rare DSD files i have!

I just bought one and should have it next week monday. My question: What's the distance between binding posts for the Cap's? I wanna try a pair of Vcap CuTF's and they are fairly large. 1.88 X 3.13 is what is listed on the Vcap website. Also, the owners manual states: Output coupling capacitors...

Hard to compete with slave labor and currency manipulation.

Anyone figure out if the word clock output can be used with your DAC that has a wc input? I use a Tascam Da3k as my DAC and it has wc input. And yes... I'm interested in that comparison also!

Anyone look at this?: http://www.vinnierossi.com/mini/ Little pricy but you can't dismiss the tech!

I have a Singxer coming and I'm thinking of pulling out the stock power supply and putting it in a custom enclosure along with a set of Bybee Music Rails. That should work pretty well. I was also thinking, you could get some thin copper sheets and build a "enclosure within an enclosure" right...

Soundoctor also makes excellent and very reasonable custom cables. http://soundoctor.com/cables.htm This guy has been involved in music production for many, many years and his cables are an industry standard. I have an order for a custom set of XLR Y cables I'm waiting for. Check him out and...

I have a 2QR Equi=Tech in my system, so do quite a few recording studios and professional well known artists. I made the suggestion because they are the originators of balanced power. It doesn't matter to me what you buy. Furman makes one, Bridgeport Magnets used to make them, you could also...

I have extensive experience modifying gear. From what I see as parts between levels, any improvement would be totally room/system dependant. You would need to base the cost of upgrade with what you are dealing with already. In my experience, unless you are really rebuilding a piece of gear...

I have sort of a unique situation. I have an Oppo 103 that has the Vanity HD audio board. I can output DSD over DoP etc via SPDiF. How can I connect this DAC? Is there a SPDIF to USB box? Right now I have a modified Tascam DA-3000 that I'm using to play files/SACD's from my 103 and I can also...
