A moderate priced dac

@grannyring  Please tell us how you *really* feel about the Orchid.

I think it is pretty good.....at times....and other times good.  

@grannyring ,
Well, it is cheap enough to give it a try.
Too bad no balanced connectors, though.

I was looking at DACs and the Audio Mirror looked nice, lots of folks talking about the great sound, etc. But I did see a few people open them up and do and "what for" and it was not so flattering. I ended up with something else because of those blogs, so if you're thinking about Audio Mirror you may want to look for those to help you make up your mind. That info may sway you, it may not.
