| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? We get the Orchid outputs 16/44 and sounds great. I like NOS dacs! | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Somebody live near Nashville, TN with the Amber? Love to compare my tricked out Orchid which sounds fantastic to this unit. My Orchid cost me $1350 after the upgrades. The Amber is $2800 with no discount if you want a trial. My Orchid sounds so go... | |
| Network Switches @three....This is not that confusing is it? Some things cannot be measured to determine if you will like it or prefer it to another piece of gear. You just have to listen. Some things can be measured. We are saying read, measure and listen to de... | |
| Network Switches He never hears a difference and is predisposed to find such an outcome. He is not, and does not care to be, a careful listener passionate about sonic nuance. Realism, natural tonality and the like elude his sensibilities and gifting. He is a tec... | |
| Network Switches Measurements play an important role as does good building techniques, layout, design, parts quality and synergistic pairing of parts. However, listening and fine tuning based on actual sound is also very important. It all matters. That’s why I h... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The Amber is very interesting. I know they offer a trial at full price.....may try one 😊. I preferred the stock Orchid with an upgraded fuse and good power cord to the Aqua LaVoce S2. The upgrades I performed on the Orchid really do bring it to an... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? This is so subjective as we all know. I have not liked the Lampi sound in the past and owned and quickly sold two of their dacs. Are the new ones better for my tastes? Don’t know, but perhaps worth a try. Found them too forced and forward. In my r... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I have the Orchid and it sounds amazing. It is an easy best buy for sheer musicality and enjoyment of your music. I simply love mine and agree with upgrading to the WE tube.If you upgrade the output caps and key resistors around the tube you wil... | |
| Network Switches One cannot measure the difference between Duelund 2.0 uf tinned copper foil CAST capacitors vs a $5 Solen 2 uf cap at the output of the same dac. However, they will sound radically different. One cannot measure the difference of many component upg... | |
| Damping Materials for Audio Equipments Buy the Soundcoat sheets from Parts Connextion. Adhesive backed and great stuff. | |
| A moderate priced dac I think it is pretty good.....at times....and other times good. | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers Don’t use its dac, but use a better external one. That’s it. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil They are easily the finest sounding cap I have ever used and I have used most of them 🤪 They are as you say so natural and real sounding. | |
| A moderate priced dac In keeping with the spirit of your post; The MHDT Orchid would destroy, obliterate, demolish, make the Codex sound like a toy, make the Ayre sound broken, kill it and utterly make minced meat of it! 😁. | |
| Has anyone upgraded the caps on their MHDT Orchid? Replace the key resistors for as big a sonic upgrade.... if not bigger! Use a mix of Audio Note Tantalum non-magnetic and Vishay TX2575 ZFoil resistors for best sound. Huge jump in sound quality. These resistors: R38, R52, R36, R54 -- designed val... |
