| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Thanks @cal3713. AM puts the Orange fuse in for $100 in the SE model. It is an option at purchase. Darn little fuse makes a nice little sonic upgrade. Hard to believe, but it did in the Orchid. Looking forward to your comments. Have fun! | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? I am sure you like it and that’s wonderful. Please try and be a tad more civilized here on the Gon. Enjoy. Bill | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? How many play hours on the Amber by then? SR Orange fuse in it as I think the AM does? Love the SR Orange fuses and ordered one for the Amber 3. They sound wonderful in my upgraded Orchid dac! Looking forward to your comments! | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Thanks @ghasley,Can you provide me with a link to your tube source? Mine has no volume as I will use The Truth preamp with it. I will use the USB input fed by my Innuos server. Single ended only. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? My Amber 3 will be in the system tomorrow night. Looking forward to comparing it the upgraded MHDT Orchid. It will need some play time to sound its best and I will post updates along the way! | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think My Dali Epicon 6 speakers have fabulous bass with this size driver. I use Perfect Path Audio mats, cards and paste on my speakers and they seem to now play like 12 inch woofers. No kidding. Fun. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil Depends what you are looking for. The Odam & CuTF combo from Vcap will be more open, vibrant, dynamic, resolving, 3D and far better bass. The copper foils from Jupiter, Miflex, Auydn and others will give you more rounded warmth. They are a ta... | |
| DAC repair/troubleshooting in New England Try just unplugging the input cable you are using with the unit on and off. Does the hum go away? | |
| DAC repair/troubleshooting in New England Is there a usb input? Are you using it? If so, I will suggest something that may eliminate it. I am assuming you are referring to a hum through the speakers? The woofers? Like a ground loop 60 htz hummmmm..... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror I agree with what @rx8man shared earlier. It is just a great time to buy a reasonably priced dac, wether upgraded or not, and experience such enjoyable sound. We have so many great choices! Audio Mirror, MHDT, Lampizator Amber 3, Border Patrol an... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror @vassilsI get why you feel that way. However, we also know in audio many things make us scratch our heads. The upgraded Orchid is in another league, as you say, vs. stock so a comparison would be interesting and don’t count the Orchid out. I have ... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil I have upgraded several MHDT Orchid dacs with the Vcap Odam caps in combo with the Vcap Cutf bypass and the results are stellar! The bass energy is the best I have heard from any cap...period. Wonderful. In addition, the mids and highs sound is ... | |
| Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review No doubt the paste is an easy best tweak for the $ I have ever experienced. My system would not sound nearly as good as it currently does without this product. Fact is my system could not possibly sound this good without this product. It is essent... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror Great update. A more fair comparison would be the AM SE to the Orchid upgraded with the mod package I have been performing. The upgraded Orchid performs at a much higher level across the board vs a stock unit. The difference is not small. The Orch... | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. You may want to try the new Vcap Odam as they are more neutral than the PIOs you don’t seem to like. They are much more 3D dimensional than the Wima cap and not very big physically.It sounds like the better caps are revealing some negative sound a... |
