I am hearing the same thing here @stewg. It is remarkable how good this dac can be made to sound. Right now it is my favorite dac! The resolution and purity coupled with the silent background and huge soundstage is so compelling. I have not heard a better dac than this Orchid (outfitted with the upgrades and cv181z Tube) at any price. Period. There, I just said it 🙂.
Funny thing is is I have some other ideas on how to extract even more out of this wonderful design. I will update all on my next round of potential upgrades to the power supply and beyond. What a fun dac and brilliant design.
