Another new DAC: Audio Mirror


Just ran across this last night. Never heard of them before but
as a Minnesota company tweaked my curiosity.
Audio Mirror Tubadour III non-oversampling tube DAC. Sounds interesting.
If anyone runs across one and has a listen please post.

@kbuzz you should definitely add the MHDT Orchid stock or modded 
—————-

So I got my AMT 3 SE today.... let it play most of the day without any serious listening. Next changed around my configuration so I could have both the AM & Orchid connected at same time. Both being fed by my Lumin U1 Mini. AM over AES (audio sensibility statement SE) and Orchid over BNC (DH Labs Silversonic). Only problem is I have to manually change inputs. No remote. 

I also just ordered a SR Blue fuse for the AM cause it has every upgrade available except came with a standard fuse. 
I’m using a fully burned in HiFi Tuning Black Cooper fuse in the Orchid. So I’d like to wait for the blue fuse and get some more hours on the AM before I do a serious compare. 

But for the short time I spent tonight let’s just say the Orchid held it’s own very well. Also my orchid is one of @grannyring most heavily modified units. With these upgrades:
- output caps upgraded to Vcap Cutf .01uf and Vcap Odams 2.2uf (4 total)
- 4 large power supply caps upgraded to Mundorf Mlytic
- 8 diodes upgraded to Cree Schottky Diodes
- 10 Audio Note Kaisei caps throughout the unit 
- 13 resistors upgraded with a mix of Vishay Nude Z Foil, Audio Note Tantalum non-magnetic, Mills MRA and Shinkoh
- 4 SonicCap Gen 1 film caps
This should be fun

@kray 

Approximately how many hours do you have on the modded Orchid? What is the recommended break-in hours for the AM?

@facten the orchid was bills personal DAC and was told it should have 200+ hours on it. 
The AM I’m trying to ask the original owner if he can give me a guesstimate but originally said “it’s fully broke in”. I’ve heard the AM is good at around 300hrs especially with the duelunds.
