@ddafoe Great information. Thanks.

@grannyring Hey Bill, do you know why it's desirable to have class a/b opamps on the dac output (as in the Mojo Evo)? After reading so much about the benefits of class a in amplifier design, I have trouble figuring out why a/b would be more desira...

@oldschool1948 Ha. For me your comment is a perfect example of the point made by @jriggy I’ve had both the Directstream and Audio Mirror in my system for extended periods and have come to the exact opposite conclusion. In the end you just have to ...

@grannyring You got it!  Should have known we were both talking about the same person. I forgot about him mentioning the Sonnet.

And perhaps out of your range, but if you're really thinking about Totaldac, there's an ad up for a d1-7 on the devialet chat sales page. It's an old ad from a dealer (I searched the username to see if it was legit), but is still available for ~€8...

An agon audio acquaintance of mine just bought a new MOJO Evo.  I think after we've both had our units for a couple months we're going to do a temporary swap. Will allow both of us to compare the Evo and Holo Mays in our systems. Should be informa...

Well said Charles. These are the times where I wish that this community was smaller (in terms of geography). So very jealous and I'd love to ride the coattails and listen along with you David.

@wdguru I built my own amps (from Nelson Pass designed boards), and as I've refined them, I've directly seen the impact of moving from stereo to a dual mono design, putting the PS into a separate chassis, replacing copper with solid core silver wi...

Mojo Audio is another possibility to look at. Models from 5-12k. All using analog devices r2r modules and choke filtered independent power supplies.

Sounds great David. Would love to hear them, especially with the Nenuphars. As Charles said, I'm sure it'll be an amazing pairing.

@tvad Whoops, yes, the M3. I might have bought the one on usam if it already had the streamer board. Congrats on the new dac and thanks for the details. I read about some people preferring it to the M1SE even...

@tvad How would you say the M5 compares to the Audio Mirror T3? 
DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000
There's an M3 up on USAM if you're leaning that direction. I thought about it, but ended up ordering the Holo May (but don't have it yet). 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
@millercarbon Please keep politics off the boards.

@thenewguy007  I presume you've seen the Audio Mirror T3 thread (https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/another-new-dac-audio-mirror)?  Quite a few users reporting back in there (and you can see my personal review where I compare it to the other r...
