Hi everyone, thanks for accepting me in the group. my first post with you. I just received my LKS 005, Anyone has an idea about burn in period ?
Also, slow vs fast roll off?
DPLL settings ? no clue how to best set.
also any opinions on this DAC are very welcome.

i have been, by practice from the ‘critical listening camp’ vs ’ measurements camp” , not by choice, i Have no clue what to measure & how.
I’m a landscape designer, I live on my farm Botanica, 30 minutes North of the Grand Pyramids oh Gîza, i work from home most days since years now and practically listen to over 10/12 hours of music a day. Living in a quiet area with weak 4g signal, no WiFi’s around me but mine, being very sensitive to vibrations & sounds, i can very easily be irritated by sound & suffer from ear fatigue. (Happening now).
I discovered Magnepan’s in 2014, that was it for me. I found that sound I’m confortable with, no box, transparent, fast, immersive, yet subtle, gentle, revealing. I loved them so much, that I started importing them to Egypt to share that discovery with others.
I’ll share with you some photos of my gear & looking forward to learning from the community about the scientific approach to our beautiful hobby.

My other Dacs, w4s Dac 1& 2 femto clock, W4S Dac 2 Dsd SE, Doge 7 clarity tube Dac.
So this is my most expensive Dac to date, will share with you impressions after 200 hours, however but out of the box, the stage is WOW, deeper, wider....

From the visual point of view, you are doing a fabulous job, and I am envious.

From the audio point of view, about your speakers - yay!

From the audio point of view, about your many DACs ... actually I don't even know where to start. Maybe read some of Amir's DAC review threads and you'll get the idea.
 
My previous DAC L.K.S. MH 004 was already a hit, but this successor sounds even more subtle and refined. Use the I2S input with a Pink Faun streamer. The settings for the Musetec Audio - Ver 1.2 are optimal here with 'Slow-L', BW-07 and Volume Fixed.
