mhdt Orchid - 192 sample issues
Digital Coax (RCA) doesn't support 192Khrtz while USB does. For the Orchid it doesn't really matter as it it only process 16 bit 44 /41 khrtz  
Those that upgraded from Tekton
Do you know how big Cornwalls are?  They aren't as tall but they'll take up more floor space than the Tektons.   If you got corners used KHorns are the ticket.  They are big but tucked out of the way and don't use actual living space and the best... 
3-Dimensional Soundstage
This subject stresses the importance of Engineers & Mixing in the recording process.  The internet is such a great resource.  The Allmusic site will list the engineers on an album and then links that engineer to all the other albums they were ... 
Cornwall IV – tube (amp) choice
Have you seen Steve Guttenberg's YouTube video?  He's a Cornwall guy and talks about amps and other things.    
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
This is a quote from a review of the Audio Note UK Cobra. https://highfidelity.pl/@main-1173&lang=en If I am not mistaken, this device was created as a result of engineering efforts to achieve the best possible parameters, and later it w... 
Best Rock Drummers
@goofyfoot   WHO ARE YOU? No I mean how could not include 1978 "Who Are You" Just the album cover alone. I'm still deeply disturbed even after all these years (Keith Moon's chair reads "Not to be taken away")

Nobody sounds like Ella Fitzgerald if it could be measured and reproduced then everyone could sound like her. An A note sung by Ella compared to the same note sung by anyone else can be measured but don’t sound the same. Or you can use a tone gen... 
Why Do You Post?
I actually have no idea why I post here other than it's fun.  I wish I had the high moral stance that I'm paying it forward offering help to those that know less than I do but I don't think that's it.   What's really happening is that I have five... 
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
I own a MHDT Orchid DAC using an adapter and the  NOS 6922 Dgetter tube and it's good.  I have not performed the capacitor upgrade yet but it's supposed to make it even better. Still in your price range,  on Ebay there is an Orchid with the 6922 ... 
What defines mid-fi versus high-end?
Don't apologize it's my OCD not your English.🤨  
What defines mid-fi versus high-end?
Acoustic science know better! Acoustic science know"s" better! The "s" is assumed    
What defines mid-fi versus high-end?
I'm going to link to a video presentation from Merrill Audio talking about his GaN amps.  To me it's about how he talks about audio that's  important.  Things like  he doesn't have a power switch because it affects the sound. These are the intric... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
Making decisions solely on measurements is akin to judging meals only on salt content. If they have to the same salt content they must taste the same right? My favorites are the anti tube guys saying they don’t want distortion in their system. Un... 
everything sounded great until the upgrade
I once demoed some speakers at someone's home and the CD player was unlistenable.  The highs were just as you described.  Does you CD player have a TOSLink out?  A warmer more analog sounding DAC would make the CDs sound more like the turntable.   
Best Amp for Type AA Klipschorns (1978)
Depending on your volume level.  I'm running Speaker Lab corner horns with 2 watts in big room and they fill it fine.   SET amps bring them alive.
