Alright! For anyone having problems with DSD512 with weird sounds after the stop or so. You need to install DSD512 44x 48x using OEM tool from Amanero. It is also the newest firmware for Amanero

Use this post to know how to upgrade your Amanero

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/l-k...es-double-impact.840938/page-22#post-13762204

CPLD is 1080

CPU flash needed to be DSD512 44x 48x, and you need to scroll down to opt for it



when did they release a new set of firmware?

Thanks whitiger. Finally got iTunes running properly thru hp to 004 What a difference!!!!!!!! Running pcm384. Bw01. Filter anodized. Still not sure if this is best setting but sounds way better than unlock! Any suggestions on settings would be greatly appreciated. I know iTunes will run max 192. Should I adjust 004 to that or just leave at 384?

Hey guys! I'm brand new to your site. Thanks for having me. Tons of great info here.

I just purchased the LKS MH DA004 based almost exclusively on this thread. I also purchased an Auralic Aries Mini for streaming duties. My previous DAC was a Chord 2Qute which has treated me very well but I'm expecting a whole different sonic signature with the LKS.

If I may ask, what input is preferred to the LKS DAC? (USB or co-ax)

Thanks again.

Thanks Paul. The Pink Faun in meant for computer streaming it looks like?

I'm not going to lie, I'm excited and nervous about making the switch from a Chord 2Qute. She's treated me good and did no wrong in my system.

I have heard conflicting reviews on the LKS 004. Some say it's dry/analytical, some say it's liquid and analog.

Compared to the 2Qute, I'm expecting more detail, more air and transparency as well as a larger soundstage. But this is of course only based on what I've researched.

I also really like the fact there are filter settings to dial it in.

you mirror many of my thoughts on the LKS!
