Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1
So, folks, got the AMT V past Friday. Great service from Vlad. Honestly, gotta say I was really disappointed, because it’s so bright that triggers my tinnitus. After 3 days of listening, now it’s more or less listenable. Vlad offered to try AMT IV...

I already ordered AMT V. We’ll see.

@falconquest , my Electrocompaniet ecm1up CDP won’t play CDs via Lab12. Experiencing signal dropout all the time, and nobody knows why. Other sources worked just fine.

Thanks. Is there a 6.1 version?

@brubin where do you get Mullards for $25 and TFs for $80?

I removed that horrid sounding 12au7 JJ tubes, and put Genalex Gold Lions instead. Much better sound. Very smooth. The only drawback is the cost.

@designsfx, thanks for the feedback, yes I read the manual, and I’m not using #2 at all. Now only my CDP is connected to it.

@oddiofyl, I’m using wi-fi at the moment. The streamer works great with it. No dropouts or anything like that. Also the VU meters  move almost unnoticeable then they suddenly they come alive and work as they should. I think it’s a glitchy unit, no...

Does anyone know if SPL or Border Patrol DAC’s are good?

The Electro has nothing to adjust sadly. The Bluesound is not connected, and now I get signal dropping on #1 as well, although much less than on #2. The Electro does upsampling, but it’s within the DAC’s range.

Strangely enough my Marantz sacd player works fine with both inputs. But the Electro is much better soundwiise that’s I’m very disappointed ☹️

@chayro, it’s not better than the Electro, just different, but It’s much better than my Bluesound streamer.

Coax #2 still won’t work with the CDP. Sh#t!

@oddiofyl, you said “ It's a small inconvenience in the scheme of life”, and I completely agree with you.

@oddiofyl, I will try the second coax tomorrow. I talked with Stratos a while back regarding DAC’s balanced version, wanted to get that one, but it turned out it’s not yet  available in the US.
