Hi,
That is not the case here. I have another system in my workplace, and exactly the same files go through ESS9038PRO based DAC (DIYINHK components).
I don’t have pop-up sounds in my office system with exactly the same files.
First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship
I have received the 006 almost a week ago and have been breaking it in. The price at Shenzhenaudio is $3,900.00 USD, $600 more than the 005. The ad copy states:
"DA006 is a new generation of flagship DAC developed by Musetec over three years and launched in 2024. During this period, it has undergone more than ten revisions and adjustments.
Compared to the previous DA005, the listening experience of DA006 has been improved in all aspects. DA006 has clearer and richer details, a stronger sense of texture, a more stable sound base, better detail control, a wider soundstage, fuller and more powerful, smoother and more natural. . ."
Some brief listening during break in has been very very positive. I will report back when it has run at least 300 hours.

I don’t have pops either when switching to any type of sample rate on 005. However, my Lampizator used to do this and it was an issue with the combination of JLSounds usb firmware and Windows driver on the music server. I don’t remember all the details but if I used Linux then it went away. If you are using Roon, you can set “Resync delays” which will sent silence frame momentarily when switching sample rate and see if that helps. What streamer/music server are you using ? Maybe try a different one ? |
@dbb how does it do with bad recordings? |
@izgmoen I would say you will hear what has been recorded, both the good and bad. However, the overall voice of the 006 is natural but slightly warm. It won’t exaggerate bright or harsh recordings and, in a good system, it will pick up what natural ambiance exists. |
@dbb so is that why people chose it over the x30? I haven't gotten to see an actual full review or first impressions of the sound of this dac in its class. |
