MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?

@grannyring the manual states a 1a fuse. Are you recommending 1.6 with mods?

also have any of you done comparisons is usb vs rca coax on the orchid?

Need a 1.6a aphile fuse as they tend to blow at lower ratings. Very expensive lesson. Use a 1.6a SR Orange. I only use USB.

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 think the best compliment I can give my stock orchid with the we tube is that I just switched from listening to vinyl all evening to Qobuz streaming and......

It sounds near identical.
And yes that is a very good thing!

If you are going to get Orchid modyfied,orientation of components is important for sound.Not only capacitors and fuse also resistors.
