Another new DAC: Audio Mirror

Definitely looking forward to the comparison.The Orchid was on my short list before I decided to buy the Tubadour.
@mesch looking forward to your thoughts as your unit breaks in.What cable do you have between the CXC and Tubadour?

jtcf, Right now I am using a Audioquest VDM-5 coax cable. Once I sort out the other changes I wish to make in my system I may consider a change in cabling. I am happy with the DAC however have only about 30 hrs. on it. Will have an extended listening session today.  Like you, I would have considered the Orchid also however learning the Tubedour had a tube output stage vs. buffer swayed me to the Tuba. 

When/if you decide to audition different cables,take a look at Silnote.After trying quite a few that's the one that really stands out and works well with these two components.Instruments and vocals are distinct with no smearing even with complicated music.I won't blather on about all of the things it gets right,but it's definitely one to keep in mind.

I will check into the Silnote cable when the time comes.
