The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up


This morning the review on the superlative Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC was just posted on Six Moons.com.  It gives all the details why I have made it my reference DAC.  I also share my position, with flexibility, that all all the hype regarding high resolution formats as being superior sounding to 16/44.1 kHz or 16/48 kHz R-2R ladder DACs is just that "hype".  

Hope you enjoy the review.

Ok, i had a Prism Sound Callia DAC and decided to get the Orchid. The Orchid was comparable to the Callia (although the Callia is pricier) and i would say somewhat better sounding over the Callia although the Orchid does not have a headphone or volume control. Also, the Orchid does not upsample and is based on a single tube output. I do not regret the change especially since changing out the Phillips 1541 A for 1541 S1 single crown. The single crown S1 is richer, deeper bass, more depth, improved imaging, soundstage and clarity..    
Where does one get the single crown S1?
Last I checked Ebay has some listings.

"mhdt Lab did pay 6Moons for this review. I own the Orchid, as well as Schitt Gumby, and PS Audio PWD Mark II."

I also own a PS Audio PWD Mark II. How would you discribe the differences between the Mark II and the Orchid?

I love most everything that the Mark II offers: detail, spaciousness, warmth, etc., but there is a little bit of hash around the vocals that I could do without.

So, I’m wondering.

Thanks

Hey Toolbox,
 

I have heard your PS Audio DAC and the Orchid, tubed the right way, does everything better that you like, plus absolutely no hash around any instruments/vocals at all.
