| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok Yes indeed. I have an Innuos, but was hoping to sell and help fund this purchase. I love Roon. I understand this unit sounds fantastic and I like the simplicity and direct ethernet hook up. Bummer on the need for a separate wired/dedicated compu... | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok Yikes! Too bad. I thought is was a one box solution. Thanks! | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok Does the X1 run Roon core or do a need another computer for this! Hope not at this price?! | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Fuses certainly provide sonic improvement. Funny how wine tasters can taste differences when the same wine is tasted in various shaped glasses and even different wine glass materials. I am a super taster and can taste differences others cannot. Ho... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @batenet. Just use the 2.2uf Odam with the ..01uf Cutf. Perfect combo for your system. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Sorry. Typo! Yes 5x20mm | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The SR Orange fuse should have the lettering going from the back of the unit to the front. Use a 1.6 amp, slow blow, 5x22mm. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The lettering flows toward the outer foil on the cap so the “V” is at the back of the unit. Thus, the cap reads from the back of the unit towards the front. The outer foil faces the front of the unit. I always add a .01uf Vcap Cutf in parallel to... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I am hearing the same thing here @stewg. It is remarkable how good this dac can be made to sound. Right now it is my favorite dac! The resolution and purity coupled with the silent background and huge soundstage is so compelling. I have not hear... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I placed the Shuguang Treasure cv181-z in the stock Orchid with the adaptor and did not like the sound at all. Very bright, forward and lacking warmth and bass. The cv181 already had 50 or so hours on an FYI. Next I performed my upgrades on the Or... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I have also heard the T is the best sounding from a Don Sachs preamp owner who tried both. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The upgraded Orchid plays on a higher level for sure. Add the SR Orange fuse and tube rolling and the Orchid really steps up several big notches! I like my Amber 3, but needed to add better tubes, SR fuse and some other upgrades/tweaks to get her... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I have a customer’s Orchid here with some 30 hours on it post surgery. It also has the SR Orange fuse. I have been comparing it to my Amber 3 with SR Orange fuse and Mullard 12au7. I can easily live with both. Don’t miss the other when one is play... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The Shuguang version is also said to be very good. Great thread guys. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? My experience with 6sn7 tubes in preamps has proven the Psvane T-series black bottle tubes (cv181) sounds as good, and in most cases, better than the myriad of well touted NOS 6sn7 tubes. Only problem is these cv181 tubes don’t seem to last as lo... |
