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!!!

Ha, beaten to it.
They do have some of their products on eBay too.

Search Abbas Audio on Ebay. Their DAC chassis is interesting. It's very narrow to allow space for another component on the same rack shelf. I really like that. I just don't like the weird 1uf oil caps at the output.

How would you compare the level of improvement with the 6SN7 substitution versus the stock Orchid and the modified version ( new caps, resistors,etc.)...In other words if one just substituted the 6SN7 in a stock ORCHID, would the level of improvement be similar to a modified ORCHID ( which included a non 6SN7 tube )

"The 6SN7 is in and playing, 10 minutes ago. Soundstage is unleashed, filled-out, big, warm, detailed, easeful, relaxed, with enormous bass and dynamics."

This begs the question why the stock Orchid does not use this tube. Seems like a very obvious choice given this feedback.
