| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror Well I did the upgrade from the standard version to the maxed out version with Dueland caps, etc. It's been running in for about 3 weeks now.The DAC has been transformed, I'm very happy with the results. The character of the DAC didn't change it j... | |
| Replacing caps on crossovers? I've asked Naim for a schematic, see if they provide one. What prompted me on this is I'm replacing some caps on my DAC soon with some Duelunds. I suspect my speakers could be improved as well only worry about messing with the balance of them bec... | |

| Replacing caps on crossovers? Thanks for the info so far, my speakers are Naim NBLs and the crossover is separate from the speaker and mounts on the back. Looks like it would be very easy replace any given part. The speaker is designed to be used passive with the crossover and... | |
| Orchid vs TUBADOUR III - Help me choose I was in the same position and went for the Audio Mirror. The deciding factor was I couldn’t find anyone rave about the Orchid and the Audio Mirror is designed around the same chip Audio Note has been stuck on for years. There is a review on the P... | |
| R2R Dac choices. I was considering the Hmdt, Audio Mirror and Border Patrol. The Border Patrol got punted first because of the single connection or high price to add a second one that was just switchable. The Hmdt looked interesting until I saw a review on the Pin... | |

| Rega Apollo Get a Rega DAC it's better than the Apollo, the Apollo has issues with reading discs as well. I had a Rega DAC R + CA CXC really nice combo frames the music like a good TT but just slight constrained in all parameters. Dynamic but never bright or ... | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 Used Rega Osiris, great amp! | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror You are correct where the fuse is located. Just need to pull out the tray and the fuse is clipped into place. These fuses are directional so if the music doesnt seem quite right change the direction. The impact should be heard within an hour and i... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror It improves over time for sure. Try a SR blue fuse in it improved mine significantly. | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror Installed a SR Blue fuse in the AM DAC, nice! really nice!Can't get over how good the older CDs sound, especially the early Blue Notes. Either they were mastered based on this type of chip or the chips where designed based on the mastering or mayb... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror I've had one of these DACs in my system for 2-3 weeks now. It's still burning in each time sounding better than each previous day. It is very musical! Seamless, fluid and dynamic. I understand why Audio Note stuck with this chip. My reference poin... | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? I am finding the same with my Audio Mirror Tubadour III DAC which uses the same AD 1865 chip. Contrast is what I hear within recordings and from CD to CD with older masterings sounding better. I use the Cambridge Audio CXC transport which has a re... | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? Too much information? No its just information not resolved or framed well. A good DAC or CD player shouldn't do this. My evaluation technique is to not actively listen and see if the sound draws me into the performance or is it a wall of sound or ... |
