Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@klh007 I do like VAC, one of their amps was on short list of possible purchases some years ago, I expect  that would be nice combo with 005.   @debjit_g I've only used diy power cables based on  recipes @willywonka  has developed over the past ... 
outboard crossover users, how important is the hook up wire from crossover to drivers.
@johnk  I have tried the Duelund tin plated (same as tweeter and mid driver wire) as speaker wire, bare wire connections, prefer my Cardas with connectors.   If I went full bore with this and your other post, I'd go with Cardas sans connectors a... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
@esarhaddon I don't run Toslink, only network optical cables. I'm using optical cables  Small Green Computer sells with Sonore equipment, assume they are polished.   I do recall reading something about differences in optical cables some years ag... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@klh007 Looks pretty interesting. Based on my experience 005 best with active linestage, in my case tubes. My take is 005 likes what tubes add, don't believe I'd like any passive or ss pre with 005, as usual your system and tastes may differ from ... 
What say you binding posts or direct wire?
Forgot about binding posts on amps, kinda defeats the purpose without eliminating those as well. Now you got me thinking, I just may have to try this.  
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
@esarhaddon Good catch, completely forgot about that. Who makes the good polished plastic and/or glass optical cables? I'd like to try this.

Forgot, in line chassis fuse holder within 005 could also work, and likely be more transparent vs the IEC or screw in type holder.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@lordmelton Yeah, I do recall the Furutech  IEC I used with prior amp didn't have built in fuse holder. One could always add one of those separate screw in type fuse holder, but would require drilling hole in 005, junctioning wires off IEC to fuse... 
What Is Most Important?
The ability to present live performers in room experience. I want every listening session to be totally engaging, like I'm getting into performers heads, a personal musical experience with these individuals, they're speaking to me.  
What say you binding posts or direct wire?
I agree with your logic, but the same logic can be applied to every connector and wire within the speaker, and every component for that matter. Every connector and type of wire within components are subject to dissimilar metals and/or possible inf...

Thanks Charles.   My reasoning for 005 as being suitable for even highest echelon systems comes from the assumption I still haven't reached it's full resolving/transparency capabilities. Until I no longer hear improvements in this will continue ...

@lordmelton I don't recall, but are you using power conditioning? The reason I ask is using multiple ac cleaning devices may have detrimental effect. It may also be possible more than one of these devices daisy chained may have positive effect, BP... 
My experience with the First Watt F7
@twoleftears @audition__audio  Exactly what I was thinking, shows not generally good place to hear best performance out of systems/components. Generally, only setups in ball/conference rooms at shows have been impressive for me. Again, reviews fro...

I tried the Flux 50 last night, just completely sucked the life out of music. Flux 50 only on dac, this with often played cd rip.   Based on my negative experiences with three filtering devices over past year (RenoLabs Ultimate switch, generic F... 
outboard crossover users, how important is the hook up wire from crossover to drivers.
I have highly modded Klipschorns and run the same Duelund wire to tweeter and mid driver, use Furutech (forget the model) to woofer. I've not heard the Auditorium, but you should know what it would provide vs Duelund since already using it. So, ba...
