Audio Mirror D2 - keep or no?


I'm on the verge of selling my Audio Mirror DAC-2. Why? I don't know... I suppose I read a little bit about it and caught a few bad reviews... one saying it is basically a cheap $130 design with minor upgrades... but couldn't this be said for ANY DAC?

So I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this DAC and if they can give me an opinion on how it compared to the other ones they have heard.

I am specifically thinking about selling/trading it for an MHDT Paradisea or a Scott Nixon offering. Would this be worth it, would it be '6 of one half a dozen of the other', or would it actually be a downgrade?

Thanks.

The Valab looks like it has almost the same exact outer casing as the Audio Mirror DACs. Are they the same inside as well?
Hmm... Ok, perhaps I'll stick with what I have then. It sounds good to me, but I haven't heard many DACs to compare to, so there is no way for me to know if the D2 is competitive or not.
It does look nice. It would be interesting to hear a comparison between the two - the Valab and the Audio Mirror D2.
