Another new DAC: Audio Mirror


Just ran across this last night. Never heard of them before but
as a Minnesota company tweaked my curiosity.
Audio Mirror Tubadour III non-oversampling tube DAC. Sounds interesting.
If anyone runs across one and has a listen please post.

I have found this thread very interesting. I would like to circle back to the discussion about Holo Audio. I have the Kitsune edition level III DAC with the Singxer SU-1 DDC. This DAC sounds fantastic! I can't compare it to analog because I have none but I bet it would give a lot of analog systems a run for their money. It is smooth without glare and plays very deep. It would be very interesting to compare this to the tricked out AMT III. Anyone else have experience with the top of the line Kitsune level III DAC that could compare?

"Thats Great,,,but this thread is about the AMT 3 DAC....not Holo that Tim Connors is just the Middle Man in that Chinese Company ...so lets get back to Vlad and His AMAZING American Made DAC!"

Ok, I get your bias and we all have opinions but I think it is valuable in my mind to make comparisons because there are so few (but obviously a growing number) of the AMT 3 DAC's out there. For those with knowledge to be able to compare it to other known DAC's is beneficial. I may want to buy one so I try to gather all of the information I can before I make a decision. Part of that is comparison. Were someone to tell me the AMT is everything the Holo Audio DAC is only better, then I would have a better understanding of it's performance. Right now my concern would be low frequency performance based on it's tube design. Clarification of this point would be helpful and that includes comparison.
I think the prevailing attitude is not so much driving a woofer with tubes but the amps ability to control it based on damping factor. I'm no expert and it sounds like you had a positive experience. What are your speakers rated for efficiency?
