Orchid vs TUBADOUR III - Help me choose

@cal3713 From memory? It's going to be hard because I got a new streamer chain.

But I can say that the DirectStream was better but also 6x more expensive. I will still consider a DAC from PS when the new junior are released in 2020.

All I can say is that I like the sound of the Orchid even if its brand new.

Hey teajay....any movement on  the Possible Review of the  Audio Mirror tubadour 3 Dac?

I’m interested in a review as well.
Vlad, Are you considering a volume control?All my DACs/CDPs have had volume control so I do not use a pre-amp.

You don't know what you are missing then. 
Try the Don Sach SP-14 preamp or the Audio Mirror's preamp. You would be pleasantly surprised how much better your DAC sounds. I am as minimalist as it gets, but a good line stage is a must in my system. 

Hey audio123,

The ball is in the hands of Vlad.  I told him the details about how to setup a review for Six Moons.com, which level DAC would be best to review and then he completely went away.  I'm still game to do the review, it's up to him.
