Not new to DACs, I have a Mytek Liberty, Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2, Auralic Vega, Sony TA-ZH1ES headphone amp/DAC, Oppo 105D, and have had the Oppo HA1 and assorted integrates with nice DACs (Peachtree Nova 300, Peachtree Grand Integrated X-1).
The Vega is hands down the best of the bunch. I like the Mytek a lot, but I think I'd like it more if it was just a little less "clinical". The Wyred 4 Sound DAC is also pretty neutral, perhaps even a little on the "bright" side.
I'd like something that's a bit warmer. The DAC in the Sony TA-ZH1ES and the Vega have a sound I really like.
The Orchid caught my eye as it sounds like it's a bit warmer and "lush" and I'd love to hear what others who have heard one think about it.
