Another new DAC: Audio Mirror

Got m eyes and ear on a used or New PrimaLuna Stock Evo 100 Dac (I know its not a fair fight...the evo is twice the price...but one of our members got the MAXED out Version $2400)....so stay tuned for this update!!

I got my Holo Spring2 KTE version about a month ago and it is fully burned in. All I can say that this DAC is fantastic. I am using the I2s input with NOS.Tremendous trransparancy, globs of detail, glorious mids and great solid bass..Highly musical. I don't have a Audio Mirror to compare unfortunately but did so with my buddies PS Audio Direct Stream and Schitt Yagdrasil Analogue 2. We all agreed the Holo Spring was better in almost every way. I have a pretty good analogue setup and I prefer digital playback at this point. The I2s input is amazing on this DAC.

My Tubadour III was delivered today and I am very pleased. The vacuum tubes bring body and dimension to the digital music. Whisper quiet. Very musical and involving DAC 👍👍

Not surprised!!    Welcome to the club!!....Not a better Stock dac for $1500...if so....PROVEI IT!!...because YOU CAN"T...TRUTH!!

I have had a week to compare Tubadour III to my analog setup (herron audio vtph-2a, vpi traveler, dynavector 20x2L) and it has proved to be a worthy competitor. the vinyl is a little sweeter and slightly more articulate, but it is damn close! who knows in six months? i am feeding the dac with mac mini, ssd, usb, audirvana. being that is not the upgraded version, not completely broken-in, and certainly not the best source, it is crazy good... with Vlads upgrades and a better source - holy smokes.
