audio mirror dac

clio...its interesting how you say that the Bel Canto DAC2 was no competition to D1. Although you never A-B them in your own system...

Clio, Vlad has 5 days trial. This is not enough for this thing. But, I will check it out....my friend bought the new D2. I'll let you know how it compares to my Bel Canto Dac2 in the week or so.

Clio I don't want to rain on your parade here, but...... there is striking similarity between Audio Mirror dac and the $135.00(including shipping) Hong-Kong DIY kit DAC-AH. If you open your dac up, you will see that the only thing different from Audio Mirror is the absence of Audience auricaps capacitors in the DIY dac. Also, there is a cosmetic difference where Vlad plates the cover gold and the DIY dac is simply black. He also has some cones as feet and the DIY does not. But, the most improtant thing is, I listened to my friends stereo with this Audio Mirror dac and I'll be honest - THIS THING SOUNDS GOOD!!!!
Here is a link to some pics of that DIY dac:

And, the other interesting thing is that referenceaudiomods states that the Audio Mirror and DAC-AH sound the same aftere their mods.....hmmmmm.....

Clio, I read your review. I'm still convinced that the DAC-Ah is the basis for Audio Mirror. It even has the same circuit board

next week I'll borrorw it and give it a listen. as a matter of fact I will be using same interconnects and will just switch the inputs on my pre to see what goes on
