The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up

This morning the review on the superlative Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC was just posted on Six Moons.com.  It gives all the details why I have made it my reference DAC.  I also share my position, with flexibility, that all all the hype regarding high resolution formats as being superior sounding to 16/44.1 kHz or 16/48 kHz R-2R ladder DACs is just that "hype".  

Hope you enjoy the review.

I had a Havana for several years and upgraded to a heavily modified Pagoda a few months back. I am very happy with this DAC. MHDT has always offered high performance products at very reasonable prices. I am sure the Orchid follows suit.

The mods were done by the original owner. Some resistor and cap replacements. I don't have the details on hand right now, but will post them on Monday when back at work.
