Another new DAC: Audio Mirror

Hey everybody,

Vlad will be sending me the SE version of this DAC shortly for a review for the website Stereo Times.  It will be very interesting to compare this DAC to the Mhdlab Orchid and Lab 12 which also use NOS DAC chips and tube based analog conversation sections, that I have reviewed in the past and currently use in my systems.

Looking forward to hearing this DAC that has brought great pleasure at a reasonable cost to many of the listeners on this thread.

Well, I received my Tubadour yesterday and have put about 7 hours on it. I am very pleased with the sound and understand it will only get better. I use it with a Cambridge CXC transport. It replaced a Bryston BDA-1, which I felt is a very good DAC also. 

I will get back after my unit has broken in.

Looking forward to your unbiased review Terry @teajay ! Knowing how sweet your Orchid sounded when I heard it at your place, and knowing how awesome my Tubadour III sounds, it will be an interesting read!

Orchid vs Troubadour will be a great comparison! Can’t wait.
