Another new DAC: Audio Mirror

Just wanted to share that another guest brought over his highly regarded DAC, retails for around 12K to compare to the AM 3 SE.  He was some what shocked how much more musical and engaging the Audio Mirror piece was then his DAC.

As grannyring has stated system synergy and personal taste must always be taken into account when trying to come to a conclusion about the performance of any piece of gear.  However, its pretty clear to me that the Audio Mirror is a very special DAC that offers so much at a very reasonable price.

Always nice to hear more positive outcomes for a dac you own. Thanks for the report @teajay

This DAC has really taken off.
If it had a volume control I'd be all over it.

I've had my Tubadour III for about 10 months. It has all the upgrades/updates of the SE except the new feet. It took me probably a few months to fully appreciate how good it really sounds. I think the break in took a very long time. I didn't pay attention to how many hours or how long it took. Now I don't even obsess about it. I just sit back and listen to the music. It's a great DAC that doesn't break the bank. Well done!

One of the reasons the new SE Audio Mirror DAC sounds so good is because it is naturally deep cryogenically treated during the winter months in Minnesota. I've heard rumors that each DAC spends 24 hours outside in the deep snow in -40 before it gets shipped to its customer. And if there are several hot days (i.e. -15F) in a row, shipments get delayed.
