MUSICIAN Pegasus R2R DAC

[tuna56]

OK, here is my 2 cents on the Pegasus. Currently I have over 700 hundred hours on mine. And, it has been on 24/7 since I received it a little over four weeks ago. For he first 150 or so hours, I was a little underwhelmed at the overall sound. After about 300 hours things started sounding very good to me. At around 600 hours the sound further improved. Now I’m amazed at how good this thing sounds. They were not kidding about it improving with time. Now, I have to say the Pegasus is easily the best sounding DAC that I have had in my system. This is my first R2R DAC. I had no idea these things could sound this good. At this point I would say my hunt for a decent sounding DAC is over, the Pegasus is a keeper. I do wish it had a remote though. Also, I do agree with a previous poster, it does seem to have cabling preferences. Anyway, I could not be happier with the Pegasus.

I noticed the other day that Musician has two new DAC's, the Aquarius and the Draco. The Pegasus is now in the middle of the line. For me, the Pegasus is in the sweet spot and I'm happy to stay with it. Will be curious to see the reviews for the Aquarius though.

hello, i have a problem. I recently changed the dac nad m51 for this musician pegasus, but when I plug it into my usb jcat femto, it is not recognized. when connected to the regular usb of the pc, it works. Has anyone had this problem?

I'm not familiar with the JCAT, however, the Pegasus needs power form the source. Make sure the JCAT is sending the 5v on the USB.
