DH Labs

I recently bought the DH Labs Mirage USB to replace by AQ Carbon between streamer and DAC.

To my taste, an improvement over the AQ: more body with the Mirage.

I live in the UK, and after trying to order direct from DH Labs website, it became apparent they don't naturally ship to the UK. I emailed to make sure I hadn't missed anything, and received a really quick response from Greg at DH Labs

Greg confirmed they don't normally ship to the UK, but he could give me a quote for FedEx and ship me the Mirage.

7 days later, I had the Mirage in my system. Really impressed with their customer service. I've emailed a few online retailers in North America regarding UK shipping and not git a reply even. So, yep very happy with DH Labs

Just another shout out for DH Labs. I recently purchased the Air Matrix Cryo RCA ICs, and Reunion Ethernet cable.

The Cryo’s replaced my Lavri Grand silver ICs, which great cables, I’ve had them for around 2 years I think, but with a new DAC and amp in that time, I didn’t feel they suited my current setup.

Having already bought the Mirage USB (Streamer to DAC) from DH Labs, and reading good things about the AM Cryos I fired off an email to Greg between Christmas and New Year; both cables were with me in the UK on the 3rd Jan. Great turnaround, very happy with the customer service from Greg and DH Labs.

The Cryos are very good indeed; to my ears they are a tad "sweeter" sounding than the Lavri, which is to my taste.

The Reunion was intended to feed a regular consumer Netgear switch, from a pair of media converters. The Netgear fed my Network Acoustics ENO (with optional NA’s streaming cable). However, after following some good advice on another thread, which to my mind/ears was demonstrably spot on, I removed the converters and went ethernet from router, straight to the Netgear, making the Reunion redundant.

I wanted to see what the Reunion was all about, so replaced the ENO with the Reunion from Netgear switch to my streamer. Now I’m not sure what’s going on here as I’ve had the ENO for a while, and just set and forget. I’ve never experimented with it at all; I don’t know what to say, I find I prefer the Reunion in its place.

I’m going to give it more time and do some more swapping in and out, but at the moment I’m preferring the Reunion over the ENO.

Whatever the outcome, I’m really impressed with DH Labs and the 3 products I’ve purchased so far 👍
