MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?


I’m considering one of these. Please share your thoughts, especially if you’ve heard them. I will be streaming 70% and CD’s 30%

Jazz, R&B and classical in that order are my listening habits.

My room is 20x30 and very nice acoustics.

Current system:
Dali Epicon 8, Luxman 509X, PS Audio NuWave DSD, Cambridge CXC, Shunyata interconnects & Nordost speaker cable

Thank you!!!

kray,

I recently bought an Orchid, grannyring modified it (at a very reasonable cost), I added the SR Orange fuse upon his suggestion, and also bought his Acoustic BBQ interconnects and USB (also at a very reasonable cost).  I am extremely pleased with the results - a full bodied, quick, warm, detailed, analog sound, with excellent spacing and soundstage.  I'm especially pleased with the lower mids and bass now sounding proper, having previously been a bit on the weaker side in many recordings as I use an 8 watt SET.

Again, I cannot recommend grannyring's modifications or cables highly enough - very professional and well-executed.
I too would be very interested in a comparison between a modified Orchid (which I have been considering) and Amber 3.  I'm hoping to build a house this year, and I'm slowly planning my listening room, as well as significant equipment upgrades.  The discussion thus far has been very helpful to me. 
Cal3713, I too would be very interested in your results, as I'm currently looking at both of those DACs.
