I recently upgraded the linear psu in my lks and am pleased with the results. I got the idea from someone on this forum and it is appreciated, this DAC is fed by an IFI Imicro iusb3.0 and I galvanic 3.0 from my PC with audioquest carbon cables. The feeling you get when listening is almost like a...

That was my original configuration , then I remembered Paul S. saying " the best pre-amp is no pre-amp at all" or something to that effect. So I cut out the AVR, Im just going to leave it as is, dont really need the crossover, even though it would help isolate the lower end a bit better. The LKS...

Thanks for responding. The only pre-amp I ever used was in the receiver , either a denon(x4200) or marantz(sr7010) but I realized my monitors would probably open up a bit with a dedicated 2 channel amp, even though I was using the AVR's with only 2 speakers attached and using the sub output on...

Hello fellow audio enthusiasts, Please indulge me as I have a few questions. Does anyone here utilize the volume control on the LKS004 and not a pre-amp? I have my balanced outputs(XLR) plugged directly to a 2 channel amp(Marantz mm7025), which in turn power a pair of Bowers & Wilkins 705...

Hey all, utilizing the volume control I have my LKS004 outputting directly to a 2 channel amp(Marantz mm7025) with the balanced outputs pushing a pair of B&W 705 S2's, and the unbalanced outputs are going to a pair of svs sb-2000's, left rca to one sub, right rca to the other sub. Having...

Did you look under 'sound,video and game controllers ' in the device manager?

I recently upgraded my system and added a Marantz 2 channel amp, mm7025, , the LKS having its own volume control sounds WAAYY better when I run XLR's straight to the amp, bypassing my DENON x4200 altogether and having my 2 subwoofers plugged into the unbalanced outputs of the DAC. The sound...

Right on man , I dont have my PHD in DAC'S yet and was wondering the same thing, I wish he would just chill out and if he doesnt have an answer, dont reply at all. Instead we get 25 paragraphs of his rhetoric
