Audio Mirror Tubadour III Upgrade
I upgraded to the SE version and all I can tell you is that the differences are dependent on the rest of your system; speakers, tube vs. SS, etc. For me the upgrade sound difference in my system was significant enough to justify the cost; system; ...

agree with  jjss49. Running Audio Mirror IIISE DAC into bs node2i. have cat5 cable from router to node 2i, coax from node 2i to DAC. Although $2,500 all in (bought Audio Mirror used), would match it against many streamers/ DAC twice this price.
